Up, Up and Away!
So to conclude – get yourself into a balloon, in this country, or especially if you travel to another. My advice to all UK balloon company owners – do special photography flights and target your business towards us in the summer months. more
Paul Wakefield Workshop
If you ask many people who the seminal landscape photographers in the UK were I'm sure a majority would mention Joe Cornish and Charlie Waite. However who would Joe and Charlie mention if asked the same question. The answer would undoubtedly include the well known such as John Blakemore and Faye Godwin but on the colour side I can guarantee Paul Wakefield would be mentioned. Paul is perhaps not more
Judging Competitions
I’ve written about judging competitions and also other aspects of competitions in the past but in the last year, I’ve been involved in the judging and/or planning of two high profile competitions. more
The Joy of 6×6
Over the years there have been numerous 6x6 rangefinder cameras some with collapsible lenses. The last true 6x6 fixed format rangefinder was the Mamiya 6. more

In June, lots of snow is still left in the highlands. From the air you can see patterns of colourful rhyolite mountains mixed with snow stained by volcanic ash. more
Leaving Room …
During a recent one-to-one session, my client - a charming, intelligent and talented photographer called Pam - told me that she often agonised about why she made photographs. more
Shadowlands
The shadow of self doubt is haunting and persistent; no matter how often the reassuring voices are heard it is the questioners and cynics to which the self doubter listens. more
From the Ashes Rise
My plans were deferred however after a fire broke out at the southern end of the forest. Probably caused either by a carelessly discarded cigarette or disposable barbecue, the blaze required over 100 firefighters to contain it. more
Autumn River
Any photographer who chooses to make autumn their subject faces the significant problem of distinguishing their work from the heavy weight of photographic precedent. With so many images of autumn produced each year it is perhaps inevitable that a strong element of cliché cloaks the whole area. Is it possible to make work which lifts autumn into mystery and strangeness, enabling us to look again at the season with fresh eyes? more
Interview with Tony Bennett
The Landscape Photographer of the Year competition (or Take a View) has reached completion and the winners announced and we're happy to say, without any major controversy. Tony Bennett took the overall prize with a beautiful, misty photograph of Crummock Water (click the image below for a larger version).
