#beach
A landscape oriented image on a rocky foreshore in Fuerteventura a short while after sunrise. The rocky foreshore enters the image towards the bottom left curving around and climbing into the scene until midway up it reaches a small sandy beach that the low tide has exposed. Beyond the beach the rock continues climbing up into a low cliff. Foamy waves are hitting the beach and forming white horses further out. Along the top third the horizon holds on to the yellow of dawn above are a few clouds and the Mediterranean blue sky.

#sunset
A landscape oriented image of a beach at sunset. We’re on a Greek island, Lefkada, just after the sun has dropped from the sky. The black, volcanic, sand goes diagonally from above centre on the left to the bottom right corner. In the bottom right is a low rock, the gentle waves are just hitting it. In the low light it was a fairly long exposure so the sea appears milky and calm. To be fair it was quite calm. The top third is filled with sky that glows orange and red along the horizon. Also on the horizon, over on the left are a line of three small rock islands. The balance out the single rock on the foreshore.

A landscape oriented image of Derwent Water at dawn. It was a beautiful sunrise with soft pastel colours in the sky and reflected in the lake. Across the top third Derwent Island is on the left, it’s covered in fir trees that have a boathouse nestled in their midst. Beyond the island on the right is Catbells, above both is the wonderful sky. The bottom two thirds is the lake and the sky reflections. Entering the lake in the bottom right corner is the track they use to launch boats, it looks a little like train tracks, and serves to lead us into the image.

#TarnHows

#snow
A landscape oriented winter image looking down on Tarn Hows in the Lake District. The image is in layers, the first thin layer is water, the next is a spit of land that’s jutting out into the tarn, you can’t see the end of it so the next layer, more of the tarn appears to be another body of water. There are a couple of small islands in the tarn with fir trees growing on them. We then have the far bank and the tree growing on that (oh and there are trees on the right hand side of the spit too). Snow is falling and dusk is fast approaching, the two act to defuse the distance mountains. The final layer is the cloud that’s sat on the mountains. Snow is covering the land, but not the tree branches so they stand out green in an image, that with the snow and dusk, is predominantly blue hues.

A landscape oriented image taken at night. The image is of buildings in Liverpool docks with and expanse of water in front of them the weather is still making their reflection mirror like. The image is a 50/50 split as the reflection is as essential to the image as the buildings themselves. The buildings are orange brick. Solid wear house types with a tall chimney on the left hand side. On the right we can just see the masts of a tall ship.

A square image in black and white of a tulip, that has died very gracefully. It is stood in an old bottle, bulbous at the bottom with a curvaceous neck. The stands on the right side of the image with the tulip curving up and out to the left. Its petals have elongated with some curving back on themselves making interesting shapes. Its two long leaves add interest. One comes towards us and then folds over the other is going back into the image. Tulips are such beautiful flowers, and they’re beauty just goes on and on 🌷

A landscape oriented image of an old tangled and moss covered woodland in late autumn. The foreground is a pond with woodland reflected in it. There is a 50/50 split between woodland and reflections. It was a damp foggy day, which is apparent in the image. Three clumps of yellow grass/reed lighten the image, one on each edge of the pond and the third slightly right of centre.

#canal
A landscape oriented image taken in late autumn. Running up the right hand side into the image is a canal towpath, it has an old stone wall to its right side. The canal is on its left but it’s barely visible because of foliage growing along its edge, this is a lovely mix of green and orange. To the far side of the canal and the other side of the stone wall are tree. In the distance on the towpath are two small figures, a man and a woman, in blue and red jackets respectively. Though small they are an essential part of the image I waited until they were a good way along the path to have them cocooned under the arc of the distance tree branches.

#BlackRocks
A portrait oriented image. It was taken in a wooded area near Cromford that is known as Black Rocks. There’s a huge rock formation, here we see just a tiny bit of it sitting in the bottom right of the image. I’ve titled the image Moia because this bit rock puts me in mind of the heads on Easter Island. As we go into the image there are some large silver birch with their wonderfully delicate branches. It’s autumn so the leaves, now a little sparse, are yellow and gold. It was a misty morning and the mist was burning off leaving behind a gentle haze and the emergence of blue sky in the top left. Silver birch are some of my favourite trees and I’m delighted to have just found one that grows to just the right size for a space I have in my garden. It arrived yesterday so as soon as the ground warms up, it’s currently frozen, I’ll be out there planting it, whoop whoop 🙌

A meadow in summer taken in the early morning and everything is damp with dew. My camera was right down amongst the grass, looking through it to a group of buttercups. There was a light mist and I’ve edited the image high key to heighten this.

A photograph taken on a small cruise ship. It’s landscape oriented and taken pre sunrise after light drizzle. I’m on the top deck towards the front of the boat looking back along its length, at the back of the boat are two large red funnels. The boat fills the right hand side of the frame and the sea fills the left on a diagonal from the bottom corner to two thirds up in the centre. The wet deck is a rich shiny orange colour and it is reflecting one of the red funnels. The top third of the image is sky, a beautifully gentle early morning sky of blue and slightly pink clouds.

A nighttime image of one of Venice’s many canals. The photograph is landscape oriented and filling the frame across the bottom is a canal, all around it are buildings. Directly ahead is a large building painted bright yellow and this is reflected in the canal. On the right the corner of a building holds the frame together. On the left is the path and moored alongside it is I a red, blue and white boat. The only other soul around is another photograph stood on the path near to the boat. He is small in the image, I did consider cropping him out but felt he added scale and interest so I left him in.

An autumnal landscape image taken at Howden Reservoir. Water levels are low and drop has revealed traces of the village that was flooded in order to create the reservoir. On the right is rocky foreshore with a small pier jutting to the left into the remaining water. At the far end of the shore old wooden post stand like a sculpture. Across the top third of the image is a tree lined hillside. The trees, mostly conifers, are various shades of yellow and green, these colours reflect in the water below the pier.

A portrait oriented image taken on the beach at St Bees in Cumbria. The beach, at low tide fills the bottom two thirds, with a shallow pool filling the frame across the bottom tapering as you go into the picture until it peters out about a third up. At its end is a sits a round rock. Beyond this rock the sea is lapping up onto the beach. The beach itself is sandy and the retreating tide has left beautiful ripples behind it. The top third is the early morning sky, light blue with a few dark clouds and the orange/yellow glow of the rising sun, which is reflected on the open sea.

A blue and misty morning on Derwent Water in the Lake District. The main subject is Derwent Isle, an island close to the boat launchs in Keswick, which is owned by the National Trust. It early in the morning and the sun has yet to rise to burn off the mist. The isle sits central in the image on the extremes either side of it are old wooden posts sticking up out of the lake. The water in front of the isle is calm with only a few ripples, the sky has some darker clouds that almost appear to be coming from the island and rising up into the sky. There are times when breaking the rule of thirds works and for me this one of them.

I enjoy photographing flower and almost always keep blooms as they begin to fade and die. Their beauty doesn’t diminish it simply changes. In this image I wanted to explore the relationship between these two flower heads and found them part way through a spontaneous dance reaching out to each other ready for the next lift or twirl. Placing them on a reflective surface added another dynamic. The flowers are cosmos from the garden 🌸

The wood is orange and even in the fading light gleams due to the layers of varnish protecting it from the water. The top third of the image is the far lake shore, mountain tops beyond and a wonderful orange and yellow sky.

Mirror like reflections early in the morning at Derwent Water in the Lake District. I’m standing in the lake in my wellies in order to have water right in front of me. The bottom third of the image is all reflection going up the image we have the lake shore then on the left a group of three trees that go up and out of the frame, they are very green. On the right is a larger group of smaller trees and in the centre peeping out around them is a tiny whitewashed cottage. Above these trees is the pine clad hillside, which like the trees on the left goes up and out of the frame.

There are still plenty of leaves on the trees and these are backlit by the sun. The sun is bursting through the branches in the top left with a perfect starburst. A path is leading us onwards through the trees.

A black and white landscape oriented image, which is almost split in two as it’s a scene with its reflection. The top half is a heavily tree lined foreshore, the trees are mainly conifers. Coming on from left and right in two sweeps that meet on the upper right third. The sky above them is dramatic with clouds. All of this then flipped on the bottom half as it’s reflected in the reservoir below, blurred slightly by ripping on the water.
