During the first weekend in September I took an opportunity for a long weekend on the south coast of England with the aim of capturing the Sussex coastline. Being based in Brighton gave me great access to the pier and beach for sunsets and I also spent the days touring along the coastline towards Kent stopping at some of the popular and less well known locations.

I always aim to enjoy a long weekend in the UK Lake District national park each June. I find June to be the perfect time of year to capture the Lake District in the summer season as the scenery has had time to develop to a beautiful green without becoming overgrown.

I've just returned from a 3 day trip to the South Devon Coastline capturing images utilising natural daylight to add to my stock image library. We based ourselves in Torquay and spent the time travelling around many of the popular tourist destinations including pretty harbour towns and coastal estuaries. The weather on the trip was fantastic and by using a polarising filter to enhance and deepen the colours. the whole set of images have a really crisp and bright holiday feel.

My second major photography trip for 2018 was a first for me with a trip across the water to explore the glorious landscape of Southern Ireland. Ireland has long been on my list of places to explore so when the opportunity came up I was really pleased to be able to get the time off work for an extended trip.

We spent 10 days in Ireland altogether, splitting our time between a city break in Cork and a week long exploration by hire car around the south west coastline. We had a base for the week near to Killarney and spent most days on the road hiking and sightseeing around the beautiful mountains and coastline of County Kerry.

I'm really pleased to have one of my images from Whitby on the front cover of the popular Yorkshire Life Magazine. The January 2018 edition of the magazine includes my photograph of the view of Whitby overlooking the harbour looking up to Whitby Abbey.

2017 was another busy year for my photography business with my stock imagery sales increasing to magazines, newspapers and online marketing outlets. Alongside this, my physical print sales (Mounted and Framed) grew experiencing a record year for sales to many new customers throughout the UK. May I take this opportunity to pass on my best wishes for a happy and successful 2018 and to thank you all for your continued support through visits to this site and interaction and sharing on my social media channels.

Last weekend we headed for a pre-Christmas trip to the Lake District for a festive getaway and some last minute rest and relaxation. During the trip I managed to mix in a couple of photography sessions and took the camera out on our walks in the stunning Lakeland countryside. This blog includes a collection of my favourite images from the trip.

My British Landscapes Calendar with an increased print run sold out just before Christmas again this year with lots of positive feedback from recipients worldwide. May I take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the new year and thank you for your support this past year. I've chosen 10 of my favourite images from the year and created the slideshow below which I feels as a collective sum up my adventures from the past year.

Highlights from our recent tour of the north of Scotland. For this trip we decided to head further north than normal to explore new areas of the highlands including Wester Ross and Sutherland. We split the week between locations with the first half spent with friends near to Gairloch and the second a 3 night stay in Ullapool.

One if the items on my long list of locations to visit this summer was a return visit to the waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales around Ingleton. I've previously briefly visited the Thornton Force waterfall after a morning on Twisleton Scar and have since then wanted to take a better look at the the other waterfalls on the Ingleton Trail. There are many places to photograph on the route but I have tried to stick to photographs of the main falls for this roundup.

Over the Christmas period I spent a week with my family in the seaside town of Whitby on the Yorkshire Coastline. It's the first time I have been to Whitby so was really looking forward to visiting the sights and photographing the coastline in the many conditions experienced throughout the week. This blog showcases a collection of my favourite images from the week including pictures of the Whitby Pier, Whitby Abbey, 199 steps and the Whitby Whale Bone Arch.

2015 turned out to be a busy year for my photography business which experienced another year of excellent growth. This year my images have appeared in a number of high profile magazine and national newspapers including Countryfile Magazine, the Sunday Times, the Guardian and the Telegraph. Other trips during 2015 includes winter photography in the Cairngorms and a large commision on the Yorkshire coastline.

As part of a recent project I had the opportunity to spend a few days on the Ayrshire coastline photographing some of the scenery along this amazing stretch of coastline. This blog post has a collection of my favourite images from the trip taken on the Ayrshire coastline.

One of my favourite Cornwall photos is featured as a double page spread on the very prominent pages 6 & 7 of the June issue of Countryfile Magazine. The shot from Crantock Beach in Cornwall was taken a couple of years ago on a beautiful early summer's evening looking out down over the beach with the tide two thirds of the way out exposing the huge sandy beach.

I spent 4 days last week up in the Cairngorms with friends staying in Aviemore, this was mainly a trip to catch up with friends and ski at Cairngorm Mountain but I did manage to get the camera out on a couple of occasions to capture the beautiful snowy winter landscapes. This blog post features the best of the images from the trip including shots from Loch Morlich, Cairngorm Mountain itself and the nearby Loch Garten.
