  • A lone cottage in the middle of a huge deserted coastal region in rural ireland with a windswept landscape. There are also dramatic clouds in the sky over the atlantic ocean.

  • Backlit, in the evening light. Photographed in the Langwarrin Flora and Fauna Reserve (formerly the Langwarrin Military Camp), Victoria, Australia.

  • Stonebarrow, Dorset, Nr. Charmouth and Golden Cap.

  • One particularly enjoyable afternoon in Autumn at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire, England. This image holds within it the true spirit and natural beauty of a lazy walk in the wild. In the distance we can just make out the hill leading up to “Old John”, the name given to the structure standing proudly atop it.

  • A3 drawing on cartridge paper in G-Tec C4 0.4 pen, kinda reminds me of seaweed and fishes.

  • Another of my back catalogue images – this time, a coastal scene taken from Countesbury Hill looking west over Lynmouth Bay, North Devon. When I visited the location in 2005, it was VERY wet on Exmoor, and the light was terrible – apart from a couple of streams, I had nothing noteworthy photographed, so headed for the coast instead, and had to position myself quite carefully to miss the road in the picture, but still stay on top of the cliffs. This image was taken in very low light conditions, and had terrible noise (no RAW to play with back then) on a Canon G2, so has had to be played with quite heavily, and in doing so, I feel I have lost a lot of the detail. However, the mood is still there, so I offer it for critique here on RB. I quite like its darkness.

  • Relections of Autumn captured in a little lochan on the island of Raasay between Skye and the mainland.

  • Another pic of gem :) / this time she was following me around whilst i was doing some macro work on various plants / when she lay in the brambles i just had to get some shots of her peeking out from behind twigs and blades of grass =D

  • A gorgeous young stag hiding in the bracken at bradgate park / i like how the whole frame is filled with bracken =]

  • Last weekend I went to Sherwood Pines with my good friend Shawn. It’s a fascinating place – a forest of tall pine trees contrasting with a thick undergrowth of ferns (bracken). I decided that the full colour version did not do justice to the dramatic feeling of the place, so I went for a slightly more detailed pseudo-IR treatment makes the ferns stand out more.

  • I find the name of these immature, tightly curled, emerging tips of these ferns so unique, that I did not feel I had to look further for a title! I find the geometrical repeating spiraling shapes totally intriguing. So much so, that I decided that I could not make up my mind between the different shots I took, so I will be posting them as a series… These macros were shot in Sherwood Pines where I went with my good friend Shawn. I’m looking forward to seeing his macros from the visit too! [Sony a350, Sigma 17-70@70mm, f:4.5, 1/100sec, ISO-200] (You can click here for the whole series)

  • This shot was taken straight from the camera and put on redbubble, This shot is “As Is” On a recent trip with two of my good friends George and / Ted we spent the afternoon at Sherwood Pines wondering around the great national forest, in awe of the breathtaking views, and then ended up taking loads of macro shots.( LOL) Oh well, it was fabulous to have the time to do that. Their macro shots were amazing, but i am unsure of mine. I have decided to upload a few that turned out decent. The forest is full of Bracken ferns. It is amazing how they stretch their leaves out to reach for the sunlight which filters through the trees. I also found out something interesting on wikipedia. This is apparently called a “fiddlehead” which is the immature, tightly curled emerging fronds and are considered to be edible, eaten fresh or pickled. In Korea they are used in a rice dish, and they have also been used to brew beer. No wonder Robin Hood loved these woods.

  • Went for a little drive this morning to find a tor! Don’t know where many are at the moment, but had heard of Haytor so plugged in the sat nav and off I went! Infront of Haytor are a few wild ponies. The hill was much stepper than it looks too! For those who don’t know the Devon and Cornwall moors are famous for their tors. A tor is a rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Tors are composed usually of granite or metamorphic rocks. Tors can also be found around any previously erupted volcanoes (although Devonian and Carboniferous outcrops are also found), though occasionally of other hard rocks such as quartzite, and are the result of millions of years of weathering. In prehistoric times, when the land was covered in forest, rain water seeped into the ground and gradually weathered the bedrock through its natural cracks, or joints. Once the land became exposed, the weathering was accelerated, particularly during the Ice age when freezing water expanded in the cracks. The result can be seen today in dramatic rock formations.

  • Acrylics on box canvas Original Size: 500mm x 500mm Stanage Edge in the Derbyshire Peak District at Autumn.

  • Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F11, shutter speed 1/100 second, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop Yesterday I went for a walk with the dynamic duo of Jason Connolly and Jamie Green near High Dam in the Lake District. The weather was overcast for the first hour but then we were greeted with wonderful autumnal sunshine. This shot was taken just over half way around the walk at Ruslands Heights looking down Rusland valley. The hills in the distance to the left are the Coniston range. Please view large.
