Plitvice Lakes
The Upper Lakes area really caught my imagination – twisting boardwalks over gurgling rivers, waterfalls cascading out of the surrounding hills and fabulous blue pools edged by rushes and vibrant vegetation. more
Dalt Quarry, Borrowdale
One location that I have visited a number of times is Dalt Quarry, found not far from the footpath leading from Grange in Borrowdale towards Castle Crag more
Interview with Diego Lopez & Patrik Larsson
After spending a week in Andalusia you get back home with images from untouched fog forests, the wetlands of Doñana, photogenic coastal areas with the Moroccan mountains in the background, desert areas, mountain views from Cazorla and Grazalema. more
Scouting in the Lake District
Just before Autumn, Mark Littlejohn and I went for a couple of days wandering on Holme Fell and approaching Grange Fell. We thought we'd write a little about our morning scouting on Grange Fell and show a couple of images made whilst planning a longer journey sometime in the future. more
Verzasca Valley in Switzerland
If you’re looking for a location which can offer both boundless photographic potential, and also plenty to entertain non-photographer members of the family, this is it more
The Burren
Some 20 years ago a passage in a biography of JRR Tolkien turned my life into a new direction. Back then ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ were by favourite books and I was especially intrigued by the detailed descriptions of the landscapes of Middle Earth. Naturally I wanted to know more about JRR Tolkien and what inspired him to create this fictive world in such detail. The little passage that got stuck in my mind described more
Manesty
Sitting in the ‘jaws’ of the Borrowdale Valley between the southern tip of Derwentwater and the village of Grange in the Lake District National Park; Cumbria, the little known area of Manesty commands an envious position in one of the most iconic areas in England. However, its position in the less visited Northern Lakes and in a spot which requires a circuitous driving route from many of the other popular Lake District locations means that Manesty and the Borrowdale Valley as a more
Beautiful Brockwell Park
The height of summer The old park Three years ago, I wrote an article for this magazine about my Brockwell Park project, aimed to tie in with an exhibition here in south London. It was the culmination of the previous three years spent photographing the park through the seasons with the aim (there has to be a grand aim) of demonstrating how seasonal changes transform more
Along the river Inn – Autumn in Engadine
One of the joys of living in Switzerland, as I have done for the past fourteen years, is the annual display of colour that marks this time of year. From the vineyards scattered along the northern side of Lake Geneva to the beech forests of the Jura and from the wooded hills of Ticino, replete with sweet chestnut, to the larch-covered mountainsides of Graubünden, Switzerland is a blaze of intense yellows, reds and ochres from mid-October up until winter's more
The Land of the Fire Mountains
Unsure as to whether this was going to be an article about a location guide, photographic inspiration or “what’s in my bag”; I decided to make it about all three! Consequently, it’s quite lengthy but I do split it broadly into those areas if you feel like dipping into one aspect first, although I do think it reads better top to bottom. For information, I did write a little about this location previously on my own website blog after more
Saltwick
After a bit of a lean period in terms of my own photography I’ve had the pleasure of going out every week for the last four weeks. Every one of those weeks has been to the same location but in many ways that has made it more interesting. Apologies for the delay in getting the latest issue complete as we have spent some time getting the 360 location guide working again (why do software developers insist on changing things!). more
Route 66
Route 66, The Mother Road. Taking in eight states, the route once epitomised the American dream. In the forties and fifties it’s travellers would journey from Chicago in the east to Los Angles in the west. The reason for the journey was the journey itself. The image of Route 66 was its cars, hotels, diners, gas stations and the people that made the experience remarkable. Roll forward more than half a century and things are now very different. In the more
Falls of Orchy
In the highlands of Scotland, near the bleak moorland of Rannoch, the river Orchy begins its journey high in the munros of the Black Mount and winds it way down through Loch Tulla into Glen Orchy. more
Wistmans Wood
If you close your eyes and imagine a wood in a dark fairy tale, what do you see, smell and hear? In your minds eye do twisted and sinister trees thick with moss and lichens form anthropomorphic shapes in billowing fog? Underfoot do you struggle for grip on treacherous granite boulders? Perhaps a far off stream provides an aural accompaniment with the the odd and inexplicable crack of a twig more
Bridge of Orchy, Argyll and Bute
Ok, that title may be a little outrageous, however on the right day, in the right conditions, this part of the world is truly remarkable for us photographers. Based on the A82 at the Southern edge of the Scottish Highlands, the bridge acts as a junction for two particular points of photograph interest. To the right of the bridge is Loch Tulla. A sweeping loch near to Black Mount, popular for its access by road and beautiful forest to more
