End frame: Copper Beech, Stourhead, Wiltshire by Fay Godwin
The imperfect reflections, the asymmetry, the dark hanging branches, and the calm surface of the lake beyond combine to create a peaceful yet brooding atmosphere. more
Into the Landscape
Photography of the 'inner landscape' can be rewarding as a sole response or as part of a study of several reactions to a location and in doing so, it expands the narrative. more
End Frame: Paved path above Lumbutts, near Todmorden, West Yorkshire by Fay Godwin
Most of the poems in Elmet were written by Hughes in collaboration with Fay Godwin, who provided the stunning black and white photographs of this part of Yorkshire where Hughes grew up. more
Wall
The wall skirts around Gameshope Glen in a horseshoe ending not far from where it started, close to Talla Reservoir, a couple of miles east of the Tweed Valley. more
On the physics of caustic light in water
I like to make images of water in its various forms, but particularly the interaction of light and flowing water in streams and rivers. The attraction in making many of these images is often the points and lines of concentrated light that make the surface sparkle more

End frame: East Branch, Middle Brook, Somerset County, New Jersey by William Neill
There is the calm of autumn emphasised by the lack of movement in the water and in the trees, creating perfect reflections. It is quite meditative. more
End frame: Sea Mist, Iceland by Tim Rudman
Many excellent photographers have developed compelling bodies of work with Iceland as the sources of their inspiration. But the work I keep returning to is that of the master monochrome printer, Tim Rudman. more
Beauty out of the fragments of life
Can I become emotionally entangled with the urban or semi-urban space around me, and make inspiring photographs out of this experience? more
Orkney and the Simmer Dim
It is as if during the day the sea absorbs and stores sunlight, then during the twilight hours it gifts it back to the sky with a luminescence and inner radiance more

It hints at something out of the natural order. Peaceful but somehow slightly unsettling. There are many of the usual components of a landscape photograph, trees and rocks and water but no foliage. more
