Poppit Sands, West Wales

2009-07-28T09:25:00.001+01:00

My inlaws used to own a holiday cottage here. Pippa played here as a child. It is a lovely beach worth a look if you are in the area.

There is a significant rocky out-crop just off to the left of the beach which would provide a brilliant lead-line out to sunset. Unfortunately I can't get here for sunset!

You can find it here,

Just stopped off here for an hour or two to have a spot of lunch.

Nice beach with large grain sand (so no sensor damage). Lots of stuff on the beach leading the eye into the water. Prob not the best beach in the world but ok for a bit of photographic fun!

Dyserth falls

2009-07-25T11:27:00.001+01:00

Mum and Dad used to take me to this waterfall when i was a kid. After 28 years I have gone back, with my little boy, on our way to snowdonia. The place has not changed a bit. I can't really get my head around the volume of water that must have fallen here over the past 28 years. I wonder how long the waterfall has been here?

A beautiful place, and a great waterfall to photograph. Ice cream is available too.

Photographs that I have recently taken for Leeds City Council & Anita Morris Associates have been published in various places.

This is a great project and I am privileged to be involved.

If you live in, or are visiting the area I recommend getting down there to the Wonderwood (Holbeck) for a bite to eat and a few beers.

Holbeck Urban Village

2009-06-06T22:56:00.003+01:00

I have recently started to make a leap into the world of professional photography. To date I have photographed 1 wedding, 1 series of 'still life' photos (to meet a brief) and a weekend of event photographs. I have really enjoyed earning lots of cash taking pictures but must confess that it is a lot harder and more stressful than you might think. Fortunately I have worked for with some really great people who were very patient and understanding.

These are just two of the 600~ish pictures that I have taken as part of the Holbeck Urban Gardening weekend organised by Leeds city council.

Featured Photographer: Steve Gosling

2009-03-07T16:51:00.002Z

These are four of my favourite Steve Gosling pin-hole camera photographs recently exhibited in Ilkley museum, near my house. The original images are about 1m by 1m ~ish and our very impressive. I recently read that Steve made his own pin-hole camera to take these shots. You can check out more of his pictures at Steve Gosling Photography

Taj

2009-03-05T19:28:00.004Z

Taj srgb, originally uploaded by mologo.

Just got back from a trip around India's golden triangle (Dehli, Agra and Jaipur). Bloody brilliant trip. Whilst I agree that this is a typical shot. I had to take it! Believe it or not this is a very difficult shot to get. The place is just so busy. I had to go back at sunrise to take this and even then lots of people got in the way.

The Taj is a photographers dream. It is constructed in such a way as to always be in proportion. For example, carvings at the top are bigger than carvings at the bottom. Hence when you stand in front of it carvings at the top seem to be the same size as the carvings right in front of you. This makes taking pictures of it (and post processing) very easy. I would recomend a trip there, and am currently planning my next visit for a few years time.

In The Days Still Left

2008-09-12T15:50:00.009+01:00

This was taken on the north coast of Crete (Greece). I like to spend as much time here as possible during the summer. Whilst working on this picture it occurred to me that if I am ever in a "last wish" situation then swimming here will be it.

I took about 100 pictures over two evenings from the same spot (marked by a rock). When I got home i selected 16 and photo-merged them in photoshop. You are looking at the result.

I am reading a book by David Hockney at the moment where he suggests that lens were used in portraiture before chemical photography was invented. These lens allowed the subject (person) to be projected onto a canvas and traced by the painter / artist; the artists hand was in the camera painting the picture. Then along came chemical photography and artistic control (in the traditional sense) was lost and the new art of photography was born (1839~ish).

The age of chemical photography is over.
"The artists hand is back in the camera"

.................thanks to photoshop!

I think this is the final picture in the crete sunset series - my personal favourite from the evening.

Crete is an amazing and unexploited place for photography. I literally got out for 2 hours and managed these coast shots. Spending a lot more time here is high on my to do list.

Just to the left of this scene are the 'white mountains' of Crete. A massive mountain range of exceptional beauty. I didn't take any pictures of them due to the unfortunate blur from the summer heat. A friend on the island tells me that they are crisp and snow covered in winter time. Sounds like a challenge to me :)

I don't get over to the coast that often. You can imagine my dispair that on the one chance i get and am likely to get (for a while) the tide is high and the sky is featureless. This shot is a 'must have in your portfolio' shot if you live in this part of the world. This is the best i could manage. Whitby Pier with none-moody sky............... bloody weather.

Time_Takes_Time

2007-01-19T19:48:00.000Z

The name come from the Ben Folds song - Time. I was listening to this song as i took the picture.

To achieve this effect i copied the picture so that it was in two layers. I lightened the top layer, used the diffuse glow filter and gave it an opacity of 50%. I added a layer mask to this top layer and used the brush tool (with mask selected) set to 3% opacity - Black. This was to pull the darker bottom layer through.

The artist Antony Gormley set up 100 life sized metal men along 1km of crosby beach (near where i grew up). I have visited it a few times over the last year or so. They are due to be taken down in November and sold to a beach owner in America. They might be appearing on a beach near you soon. They give such an atmosphere. I have tried to capture the mood with tilt shift :)

This is White-Wells on Ilkley moor. It is a place were people of the town used to go to bath and one of the reasons why Ilkley is as wealthy as it is. White Wells itself is not much to see really but the moor is fantastic. The UK equivalent of a desert I suppose.
