A week or so ago what was , on the face of it , a dull Thursday morning was spent exploring Wollaton Park , Nottingham for a breather and a good walk. Sometimes it’s just good to to and explore for a bit. Am beginning to stretch my boundaries somewhat , making the most of a positive change , living away from parents for […]

In completing my look back at 2016 I present a second set of photographic highlights from the past year with commentary. In the first two parts of the review I discuss things in terms of what I’ve learned , and also a first set of highlights . 11/Racing at the British Junior Championships , Nottingham.  Being at the front of an umpire’s boat was […]

A week ago I got to read about Andy Black’s spectacular work in installing over 7000 LED lights onto a 20ft oak tree in front of his house in Bar Lane , Nottingham , inspired by displays he’d seen on Youtube within the US. Couldn’t help but be interested enough to pop down and take a look myself , in one of my last […]

It’s not long until Christmas , and as such I thought it fitting to tease another image from the 2017 Nottingham Calendar. This time round I’ve presented a view of one of the main arterial roads of Nottingham , Mansfield Road – with suitably festive decorations for the holiday season , seen two years go – and as ever with a good deal with […]

Some takes of a Chinese bell tower I came across while foraging the Arboretum park in Nottingham for late autumnal scenes last week.  Got treated to a very moody sunset with some strong and vivid orange , and pink colours feeding through to the many fallen leaves lying around (foreshadowing). The sunset was just about on its way out when I first came round […]

My first set of copies for this coming year’s Nottingham Calendar have now arrived! For this year’s edition I thought it fitting to continue the twilight theme highlighting some of my urban landscape work within the city of Nottingham. In it there is a mix of familiar landmarks such as Cobden Chambers and Green’s Mill , but I’ve also updated this to include cityscapes […]

A cathartic look at this year’s edition of Goose Fair – this time around I only got to have a look at the Saturday evening action , with the fair proving to be as popular as ever – with plenty of busy crowds Having been very busy with other commitments I’d found myself unable to spend quite as much time as I’d have liked […]

For this month I thought a cityscape would be quite apt and fitting for the fact that the nights drawing in and autumn taking hold , and additionally , the upcoming release of my 2017 Nottingham Calendar. Details will follow by the end of the month but I’ve just taken delivery of my first set  but I’ll tease the above photograph which will feature […]

I thought I’d share with you an extended version of an interview I gave to Leftlion appearing in their “Welcome to Nottingham” student guide for new students starting their university courses this week. Some things I mention are about my approach to photography , what motivates me – and the importance of making the most of your time at university to really discover what […]

A playful take from a couple of weeks ago of the Park-facing entrance of the Park Tunnel , Nottingham. Who says photographs have to be tack sharp? 😉 Sharpness , and the lack of it can be a relative thing.  I was able to toy with creating “multiple exposures” – by holding the camera still for a small part of the exposure , then […]
