I’m not exactly sure who this is an exact quote from but I know it as the opening line to the song Design For Life by the mighty Manic Street Preachers. I’ve always thought that this was a great lyric, and for some reason I decided that this week I’d spend some time exploring the […]

I did some more work on my River Mersey Project this last weekend and decided that I would look at trying to capture some long exposure images. I had in my mind that there are bridges over the river and that traffic flows across these bridges, so that would lend itself to long exposure photography.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of a weekend away, we stayed in Malton in Yorkshire, but visited a few places over the course of the 3 days. These images are a selected few from the images I took, these are all iPhone15ProMax images but have all been edited in Lightroom. Whilst I had my

As I’m sure you know I am a member of OneLandscape Photography Community, and each month we are set a challenge by Chris Sale, or leader. Well in actual fact Chris asks group members to suggest ideas, and this month it’s my turn. In my 2024 Project of the River Mersey i came across graffiti

I’m not one for grand new year resolutions or gestures of abstinence that you see being heralded on social media, but I decided that the new year means a new Photography Project. I’ve wanted to be able to have a project that was locally based, that didn’t need a lot of driving to get to,

I’ve had walks along the River Mersey through Stockport on and off for a good few years now. My focus previously has been the bridge at Parrswood (that was a subject in a previous project), but i decided i wanted to try and capture other subjects along the banks of the Mersey. The subject of
