#38 Weymouth and Portland
Weymouth and the Isle of Portland are places I visited with my parents as a young child. On the map, and particularly using Google Maps satellite view, the area looks like it should be a rich target for landscape photography, with its fascinating geological shapes, rocks, beaches and the Bank. This project is an eclectic mix of landscapes, seascapes, long exposures, serendipitous and lots of fog.
#4 Round-Tower churches Part 1 - Rest of England region
There are around 200 round-tower churches in England. Dated during late Saxon-early Conquest period these are found mainly in East Anglia, with 13 spread throughout the rest of England. This project has the goal of photographing them all in B&W infrared.
Part 1 here, is the 13 round tower churches in the Rest of England region (Berkshire, Sussex, Essex, Cambridgeshire).
#23 Harbours of South East England
Ports and harbours in SE England stretching from Whitstable in Kent to Littlehampton in Sussex.
I live in a south-eastern suburb of London. The SE coast from parts of Essex, the north Kent Thames estuary region, and around the coast of East Sussex is within easy day trip range. This project sets out to document aspects of the ports and harbours along this stretch of the coast that are accessible by day trip. I've opted for a mix of long exposure land/sea-scapes and closely framed details. I've aimed largely for soft tones, desaturated colour and some B&W.
Battersea power station 2024
A lot of development outside and in has happened in the last year. With the xmas decorations in place, the interior galleries are so cluttered, a clean shot is not possible!

A weekend exploring the Calderdale area.

Pictures shot around my local county of Kent in 2024.
Multiple exposure abstracts, London 2024
A series of images made from multiple images, some combined in post, some made by abusing the in-camera pixel shift mechanism as a multi-exposure technique (it doesn't seem to make any difference to the result which method is used).

Two week trip to the south of France based in Tourouzelle in the Aude department.

Long exposure work
Long exposure photography uses long shutter speeds (usually in excess of 1 second, often several minutes) to smear out motion over time to create a more abstract look.
Round towered churches of Norfolk Part 1
The county of Norfolk is home to around 120 of the 200 or so known round tower churches. Dated variously from late Saxon to early Conquest periods, these are found almost exclusively in the East Anglia region. This gallery is part of a long term project to photograph them all with a black & white infrared camera for an unusual take on these quirky churches.
Round tower churches of Sussex IR
B&W infrared images of the 3 round tower churches in Sussex at Piddinghoe, Southease and Lewes.
Bronte country
It may have been mid-October, but it was more mid-summer than wuthering heights. A quick glance at Flickr suggested Bronte country was hard to photograph well, and so it proved. Some stormy weather might have helped, but it was not to be. These are shot with a Fuji GFX50s medium format digital camera.
Round tower churches of Essex
B&W infrared images of the round tower churches in Essex at South Ockendon, Broomfield (under repair), Great Leighs, Bardfield Saling.
Romney Marsh and Dungeness
The day started foggy but my moody winter marshland trip was sabotaged by blue skies and sunshine. Still an enjoyable day, not least finding myself in an army firing range! I survived.

Long exposures (which I arbitrarily define as shutter speeds longer than 1 second) provide a different view of the world from conventional photography. Moving subjects are integrated over time with detail and sharp edges smeared away. Very long exposures can make anything that moves disappear from the image. Gives a very abstract look.
