Back to the Future
The more I looked into dry plate, the more appealing it became. Load under safelight, no need for complete darkness, last like film so you can leave them for weeks in the darkslides before use, develop by inspection under safelight....what's not to like? more
Folly Pond
Folly Pond is a small pond, about 100 feet long, situated on the edge of Blackheath, South London. It was believed to have originally been a gravel pit, then was used as a watering place for horses travelling along the main road that passes close by. more
Using Dark Tones to Create Drama and Tension
Dark images can elicit a vicarious emotional response, heightening our senses and engaging us to imagine tension, isolation or a sense of danger. more
Winter Trees
Cottonwood trees grow there and show lovely, soft spring green leaves as the season begins, and develop a deep rich green that contrasts with the dark red sandstone walls. more
Holloways
Ensconced by high earthen walls and a canopy of trees for a roof, I wander through the ancient sunken holloways of Devon. These are powerful portals into deep time, where the echoes of the old world seem palpable. more
The Wounded Hill
Titterstone Clee Hill is an iconic and much-loved feature of South Shropshire, looming above the medieval market town of Ludlow. more

One day ~ Time in landscape photography
That morning provided me with over two hours of snap shooting interrupted by some instances of contemplation. As a result, a series of 15 photos taken in a silence only broken by the stir of a distant breeze. more
Photo Book Making
A handmade book can be a beautiful and tangible embodiment of the passion, love and enthusiasm we have for our landscapes and how we choose to present them more
Lichens
Lichens grow only very slowly, sometimes only a few millimetres in a year. Slow growth often implies longevity and lichens are among the oldest living things on the planet. more
Salinity
I saw the potential for revealing a chaotic harsh environment seemingly devoid of conventional photographic beauty in graphical terms. more
Cloudscapes
The huge fall in air travel since late March seems to have brought out cloudscapes which I’d either never noticed before or were hidden by the crisscrossing contrails. more
There are no Straight Lines in the Wilderness
Out here in this wild and barren place, was geometric evidence of man shaping the landscape, but with conventional photography, I couldn't get the photograph I wanted. more
