Thanks to Stuart McGlennon for the idea on the title. Full description about how this was taken is under this image in my store or you can watch it on my YouTube channel. Perfect landscape photography conditions.

My favourite image from a recent trip to Sheringham Park searching for Ents (tree creatures. Sometimes images become less popular with me although I can still appreciate their worth. This image though has grown on me . So much so that I have printed it out.

I tried to give all the Ents names. This one is called Daphne.

I don’t usually photograph at sunset but on this particular occasion I thought I’d give it a go. I’m glad I did! 8 images stitched together and a bit of sparkle added to the light sources with Luminar Neo.

A 7 image pano at Winskill Stones, Yorkshire. The title refers to a friend of my mate Garry Sugden who spent the day showing me the photographic sights of Yorkshire when I was up on a photography trip recently. Gator, real name Graham unfortunately passed away too early and some of his ashes were scattered under this tree. From here you can see the three peaks that form the Yorkshire three peak challenge which Graham enjoyed doing.

One of my favourite coastal spots. Caught before sunrise on a beautifully calm day.

Commended in the Landscape Photographer of the Year award and appears in book 4. This image was part of an exhibition that was shown at the National Theatre London. Pleased with the award as I left home at 2am to drive up to the beach.

A beach I have visited quite a few times and one which always delivers. This was taken under a moody, gun-metal sky, which really suits the mood.

You can watch this image come together in one of my first YouTube videos. A star burst on a great day on the beach.

This image is one of a fantastic shoot in a hoar frost. Full description in my store.

I found this image difficult to create because the wood was tightly packed and there was a lot of debris due to a storm from the previous week.

A mile hike to get to this plane at Solheimasandur found it covered in a couple in full wedding gear who spent a good hour stood on top. This was shot after they had gone!

Buachaille Etiv Mor photographed from the Aonach Earache Ridge at sunrise. I fell over on my way down and thought I’d broken my finger. I’d thrown my hand behind me to protect my cameras!

I had wanted to photograph these beach huts from above for some time. The panoramic crop suits them well I think.

On a trip up to Glencoe I stopped for fuel and saw this in the distance. Shot with my 100-400mm at full zoom.

I love using my drone for top down shots when everything looks different. This was shot on New Years day at Manningtree, the place I grew up.

The coast at Walton-on-the-Naze is made up of London clay. Every time the tide comes in it gets moulded into different shapes. Walking along this I new it would make for an interesting drone image. Shot with the original DJI Mavic Air

Shot on Christmas Day from my back garden. Not because Santa had brought me new drone but because there was a lovely frost. The warmer colours are caused by the frost melting.

There are some lovely patterns in the salt marches on the Essex coast. This image though was literally feet from the spot that I took off from!

Probably the best light I have ever had! I was out with a fellow photographer, who was using his DSLR on the beach but I spent my time with the drone. There were three heavy rain showers converging from three sides but we had five minutes amazing light before the rain came down in torrents. Drones cannot be flown in the rain but I landed her and ran to the nearest pub before the weather hit.

Photographing at Loughrigg Tarn I was just returning to the car when I saw this fallen tree. I sent the drone up and the thought behind this image was of an island with a tree on it, but from above.

Horsey Mill in Norfolk now has it’s full compliment of sails. This was shot from the road and I had fun playing around in post-processing to get the effect I was after.

The place I always go to to find my mojo if it goes missing. It’s usually lying on the beach at sunrise!

Tungsten lights in the blue hour always create a lovely effect. This was 4am on Bamburgh beach.

A complicated image to create as this was taken before the days when you could create light artificially. A 30 second exposure that was broken down into 6, 5 second ones. Each exposure was made when the light in the lighthouse was shining. A beautifully still evening.

The classic Felixstowe long exposure shot. This was taken at midday with a Lee Super stopper reducing the light by 15 stops and allowing me to blur the sea with a long exposure.

Subject of the painting ‘The Haywain’ by John Constable, this is my modern version.

The most marvellous path through a most marvellous bluebell wood.

A thirteen exposure pan shot with a panosaurus head (before mobile phones!) on a calm morning with just a hint of mist. These trees have now grown large and are on my list of subjects to photograph in the coming months.

An image that won me an award and an enormous canvas print. 13 portrait shots stitched together.

Taken on a brief respite during the Covid pandemic when we were allowed to walk outdoors. Taken from above with a drone.

I climbed Catbells in the Lake District twice in two days. Once with my daughter and once with my wife. My other daughter is autistic and has learning disabilities and therefore needs full time care so we took it in turns. Both days though, we were greeted with mist in the valley and glorious sunrises. This was shot with the drone as we paused for breath on the way up.

You can watch how I managed to capture this amazing scene in a YouTube video on my channel. It’s called ‘Stunning conditions for Landscape Photography’ and is released on 11th September.

For a full description visit this image in my store or watch the video from the day on YouTube.

Another image from one of my first YouTube videos. This is Cromer Pier at sunset just before one of the storms of 2022 hit.

Low rainfall in North Yorkshire in the summer of 2022 made this waterfall at Falling Foss roar less than I suspect it usually does. The waterfall acts as a curtain to the fallen tree and the greens to the side set the whole thing off.

Usually shot at sunset I wanted a misty sunrise instead. When I arrived I had mist, but too much. I couldn’t actually see the hump in front of Roseberry Topping you see here let alone the peak itself!

Haven’t persevered for an hour I finally gave up and was just shooting some b-roll for the vlog that accompanies this when I noticed that the mist had suddenly departed. I made a hast y return and this is the result. Framed by the heather and the bracken, some of which was beginning to turn autumnal, m Ade this trip out before sunrise and the 30 minute walk worthwhile.

My very favourite from two separate takes at Falling Foss waterfall. This features a 4 minute exposure to get that ethereal water look that I love so much.

Available as a limited edition print in my store.

Taken on a return trip to Bacton Woods as I wanted to shoot an additional intro to a vlog. I was flying my drone down an avenue of trees and came across this. I had the drones exposure set too high but really liked the high key effect. I went back to the car and grabbed the big camera to set this up.

The tripod was at maximum height and I was standing on a mound. This delicate high key effect works really well with this silver birch sapling. I have carried out very little post processing on this, just darkened the trunk slightly. This is straight out of the camera.

On the coast of Pembrokeshire in South Wales lies Strumble Head Lighthouse. It looks great any time of year I suspect but it looked spectacular in the summer with the heather in full bloom.

There were 4 flashes from the lighthouse and then a gap. Each one got brighter and brighter. I measured the gap between each one, which was two seconds and I set this delay on the back of my Z7ii. It was then a case of waiting for the third flash, pressing the shutter release and the shutter opened when the fourth, and brightest flash was facing in my direction.
