Stormy Days Prestbury 0

{ Last week it was very wet and stormy in Prestbury —- photos were taken to demonstrate this. } I want to try to capture more of these kind of conditions to provide a contrast to my more usual fine weather work.

The Golden Hours 1

Cheshire summer afternoons, lazing in the grass. One of a series of shots that I did on the way home from work, it has been very warm recently. I wanted to try a bit of split tone processing on these and it has worked out well I think. Update: 4th July 2010, I finally have [...]

Inspiration 0

{Transfigured Norms, A car passes by and the Christmas tree shines out across the way} Snow and ice continue to be the dominant weather theme into the first month of 2010. It is all so photogenic and I have such a lot of work to upload and publish here there and everywhere else. More creative [...]

Prestbury Christmas 0

I seem to have missed my usual pre-Christmas update on here this year so this entry will have to suffice. I’m still running other more ‘business’ orientated blogs elsewhere but have since decided to use the blogger space (may soon move to WordPress) as a sort of overflow for these pages as well as a [...]

Not So Far From Home 0

Snow in the top field Prestbury, yes I have had another session in the snow, I’m in love with it all! Snow is still lying on the ground as I speak. These are fairly unusual winter conditions in the UK now and again it all makes for interesting change, photography wise. Christmas is almost upon [...]

We Have Snow As it Might Be 0

The weather over the last few days has been very cold but also extremely scenic, we still have a lot of snow on the ground. I just had to get out with my camera and indulge that fascination for the kind of forms and vistas that others may miss. I now have quite a backlog [...]

Cold Battles 0

It is extremely cold tonight yet beautifully clear outside. I have used the last few shovelfulls of coal on the fire and once again a prevailing lack of funds is making life very difficult. I keep meaning to get out with my camera on a night such as this and attempt some more long exposure [...]

Callings 0

Called as if by the alluring enchantment of a Siren quite possibly? I’m considering a move after twelve years of relatively stable home ownership in dear old Prestbury. There are reasons for this, some of which are private (but not hugely significant) others have to do with some newly acquired and deep seated desire for [...]

A Welcome to The May Time 0

Feeling a bit glum this evening as my situation is now becoming something of a worry. Still, everything passes and all things improve as a matter of the natural course of life, or so I have found! It’s just that this period of immobility is tending to linger rather too long and I am concerned [...]

St George’s Day Shenanigans 0

That’s right, another saint’s day about which I know almost nothing, how shameful is that? Whilst working in the churchyard yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to accompany Rob up the church tower for the ritual St George’s cross hoisting. Rob and I decided to do a homage to English radicals — I [...]
