...a ‘silveriness’ to the landscape that I thought was just magical. It’s surprising that I didn’t immediately take up black and white photography right there and then. It’s taken about twenty-five years but I’m finally coming round to the idea. The second epiphany came on a family trip to the Lake District. I had my first camera at this point...

...& not that comfortable, why do DSLR’s have to be so heavy? If I’m out on the fells, I will take my walking rucksack & pack the 24–70 & D800, whilst not ideal, it’s much more comfortable & I can take food & waterproofs in side & top pockets. I must say that I’ve yet to come across a camera...

Try to get up to take a look sometime until the end of August....

This afternoon, I’ve been editing the images from a jewellery photoshoot...

...a bit different from Richard's usual modus operandi - taken with a medium format camera at the start of setting up his business in Scotland. For those of you who don't know Richard's work, take a look at his website at http://www.richardchildsphotography.co.uk which I'm told may well be updated this summer. Richard uses a large format camera** and strolls to...

...pretty pictures, albeit more complex and satisfying pretty pictures than I took at the start of my journey. I’ve had in the back of my head for a while that there must be some way of using photography as a means of exploring the world beyond representation, a way of using photography to develop and communicate meaning. Out of the...

...any European country and our access to it is being eroded. This move would undoubtedly have a detrimental affect on the management of the woodlands as fare as environmental and public use is concerned.
