Cullercoats
Captured one winter morning, not too early but freezing cold. Some of the birds had the right idea not to hang around!
+
Routing Linn
Always wanted to visit this location. It was my birthday this day, a nice little birthday present to me!
+
Cresswell Beach
A failed camping trip to create some star images with a “star tracker”. The weekend weather forecast wasn’t very accurate, so I amused myself with day time seascapes.
+
Loch Rannoch
Taken on a trip to Rannoch Moor, this was another road trip of about 650 miles. On a tech note, the biggest pain sometimes is waiting for the camera to write the file to the card. This dosen’t happen with film!
+
Barbed Wire Post
Can’t resist a bit of fog, as a photographer getting things sharp is the usual mode of working but fog changes colour/depth/texture. Amazing!
+
Silksworth Ski Slope
Another bit of fog, this time it’s the rear view of Silksworth Ski Slope, Sunderland. Not the obvious view, but the fog made this view possible.
+
Seaham Chemical Beach
Map reading comes in handy but in this case tide tables are a must for the seascape photographer. I didn’t get wet on this one, thank goodness!
+
Tynemouth Pool
Another winter trip to the coast, a bit of a minimalist study of the old outdoor pool.
+
South Stack Lighthouse
Decided on a different view for this one. Other visitors on the day seemed to go towards the lighthouse, I decided to do the opposite!
+
Dacre
A trip to the Lake District, trying to find images in locations other photographers might overlook, all part of the fun!
+
Brimham Rocks
This trip was off the back of a job in York. Unfortunately, it was raining, but there’s no such thing as bad weather, it’s just weather!
+
Grangetown Beach
This image was awarded one of the best 50 images of the year by Fuji Film. Created on Fuji Velvia 50 with a 5×4 Walker Titan camera and a 65mm lens.
+
Saltburn Pier
Another image created off the back of a location shoot for British Steel. On this occasion I ruined a pair of new shoes by miss judging a wave and ended up knee deep in water, I just had to “keep calm and carried on shooting!”
+
Seaham Chemical Beach
This image was created with a rotational nodal point corrector (more commonly used for VR architectural interiors). A little tricky to use with the tide/wave moving back and forward.
+
Loch Ness
Took a chance on a visit to Loch Ness. The weather forecast was heavy snow, I got a little wrapped up in finding, then creating this image. Then the snow clouds appeared! Ended up with a very nervous drive back in the snow before the roads were closed.
+
The Groyne, South Shields
A different view of the Groyne at South Shields.
+
Tree, Trout Beck
Created for a boutique hotel in the Lake District. It was windy, very windy!
+
Olive Grove, Corfu
Couldn’t resist an image of the olive trees whilst on holiday in Corfu. Created with my travel favourite for photography, a Fuji X20.
+
Sycamore Gap
Yes, it’s that tree again, but usually not like this. Just had to try something a little different!
+
Cullercoats
Slightly different view from a previous image captured on a different day, but still freezing cold.
+
Glencoe
From a recent trip to Scotland, more info on the the Journal part of the site.

Glencoe
Another one from a recent trip to Scotland, more info on the the Journal part of the site.
+
Dunstanburgh Castle
Created for a residential development project in Northumberland. Needed to be prepared as all I got was about 20 minutes to take a couple of images.
+
Borrowdale Valley
Another trip to the Lake District.

Loch Lowes
Another Scottish trip. This was created on the way from Dundee to Inverness. It could have been called a cavalier landscape ie. park up Vauxhall Cavalier, jump out, take shot, drive off again!
+
Seaham Chemical Beach
I like returning to the same location when it’s for personal images. This is another image created with a rotational nodal point corrector (more commonly used for VR architectural interiors). This time a wider lens is used.
+
Coal Board Foundations
Another image from the Seaham coast.
+
Steetley Pier
A trip to Steetley Pier near Hartlepool, for an alternate version and a bit of behind the scenes visit the Journal post.
