I'm going to climb every mountain
Well that's not entirely true, I don't fancy rock climbing at all but I might just walk up one or two! This image is of a series or rock outcrops which form part of The Roaches. The Roaches lie just north of Ashbourne in Derbyshire on the road to Buxton. You can climb them along with the thousands of other keen rock climbers who come here most weekends, or, like me you can talk the longer but much easier route - your choice!

I love the texture of the chive when set against a white background, it shows the delicate nature of flower head.
Continuing my series capturing flora in their natural surroundings, but given a studio look.

Softly does it!
Taking images of flowers growing in their natural habitat has its benefits - I don't think my wife would have liked to have the ant in the house, but outside it seems quite settled nestling in the protective shade of the petals and adds a natural twist to the shot. Set against a pure white background the petals show their delicate quality.

Getting wed.
#balesontuesday took on a new look when I came across this happy couple. Funny what some people do, and to think they only went into the hay loft for a roll in the straw and came out like this!

The rain had all but destroyed the red and yellow tulips, but this dark, almost black variety held up to the recent downpours we had yesterday. I had been meaning to shoot the image for a few days and almost missed my chance, thank goodness I hadn't!
This shot is also for my pal +Don Noll who likes shots of dead flowers with his #deadflowersociety , this one is for you Don (honestly they are almost dead back there!).

On my own
Continuing my single bloom series. This bloom was covered in the first drops of a passing shower, I like showers when they add a little extra to an image! A great big #floralfriday to +Tamara Pruessner and of course no week would be complete without +steph wanamaker, thanks for another fun packed week!

All in a row
These three kings from ...... were parked up on the sea front at Rhos on Sea in Wales, and I've still no idea why or where the drivers had gone to. They parked there each day over the bank holiday weekend though and that gave me a chance to shoot them.

B is for Blur

Through the dappled forest
Driving through Gwydir forest above Llanrwst I was met with some beautiful dappled light playing through the trees. I had to stop and capture a moment in time which holds some particularly sweet memories for me.

Food in the land of Giants
Picked out by the sun with a break in clouds, but looking ever so small against the backdrop of Snowdonia, the sheep gnaw away at the grass, thankful that the snow has (almost) disappeared from the landscape.

Lookout point
An iconic view but nevertheless I had to take the image of Warkworth Castle in Northumberland on my visit late last year. The walk along the river is such a peaceful place and the view of the castle looking out over the river valley was majestic. You can just imagine the boats transporting people and goods to and from the local market place with the 'well to do' looking down on the peasants - how times have changed!

If You’ve Ever Asked Me To Review Your Photos, Here’s A Chance — Photo Contest + Camera Bag Giveaway
http://bit.ly/YvaIvj
Hey photo friends, a few weeks ago my staff video guru Erik and I shared a glimpse into an ideal everyday walk-around camera kit. It’s a kit that Erik uses everyday and one that I beg/borrow/steal when not on assignment. Well the good folks over at ThinkTank took note of the love we showed for their Retrospective line of camera bags and sent the studio three of them to do with them whatever we choose. Just so happens we have plenty of camera bags already (2 of the exact models they sent us…), so we want to give these badass bags away to you. So here’s what we’re gonna do:
We wanna see your street photography. Your best everyday photos from being out in the world, covering the earth and actively pursuing the unexpected. Post links to your photos in the comments ... more »

Over the Hill
A dark foreboding sky met me today at Macclesfield Forest in Cheshire, behind me blue sky peeping through the clouds, in front of me a heavy downpour and high winds - strange weather to be sure. Time to take some B&W shots I think!

"Hey, Hey its Spring, or is it still winter?"
Planting yesterday here in Manchester, and a fine start today but now we've just had hailstones - whatever next! Still it is Friday and that can only mean its all things FLORAL and the weekend ahead. Whopee
Fritillaria - one of my wife's favourite flowers.

Spring is here!
Woohoo, spring has arrived at last! After weeks of cold, snowy conditions in the North of England it looks like spring has finally arrived. I haven't been on Google+ in the last few weeks due to family commitments and a brief respite over in Wales last week recharging batteries. Hope to move forward now and already setting my alarm to catch the sunrise tomorrow - I hope its a good one!

Its always nice waiting for a typical English breakfast - eggs, black pudding, bacon, mushrooms, beans, hash browns......... (you can fill in the blanks). Its the anticipation of the feast to come, and after a long walk in cold Cheshire woodland nothing could be better. Mmmmmmmmmmm lovely!!

At long last it feels like spring is just around the corner. Its been a long cold spell which has kind of supressed my enthusiasm somewhat, still it now feels like the tide is turning! Whoop whoop!!

On a Snowy Winters Night
You lucky, lucky people.... I went out tonight in -4 degrees to take some lovely night winter shots. I passed this place earlier today, and thought it looked fantastic, but didn't have my Nikons on me, so I went back to shoot it under the cover of darkness..... Just for You.
We are expecting more snow tonight and tomorrow, hopefully more great winter shots to come. It's really tricky shooting at night, with no lights in the countryside.. but hey, I love a challenge. This shot was a 20 second exposure 100 ISO.
If you like it SHARE IT
