Shooting Astro in Cappadocia
Just like any adventure, it began with uncertainty, which plummeted to hard times, but it was hard graft, high spirits and the search for something entirely different that brought it all back home. more
Walking in the Dolomites – Fuji X or Nex
I picked up an XE1 and 18-55mm zoom lens secondhand with spare batteries and case which enabled me to perform some preliminary testing vs the Nex 5n and Nex 7. I had high hopes for the JPEG output and for the quality of the zoom lens. more

Wild Waters, Wetlands & Ice
In June, lots of snow is still left in the highlands. From the air you can see patterns of colourful rhyolite mountains mixed with snow stained by volcanic ash. more
Leaving Room …
During a recent one-to-one session, my client - a charming, intelligent and talented photographer called Pam - told me that she often agonised about why she made photographs. more
Shadowlands
The shadow of self doubt is haunting and persistent; no matter how often the reassuring voices are heard it is the questioners and cynics to which the self doubter listens. more

Thames Waters
I’m sure Quintin was not the first person to think of photographing the length of the river Thames but his approach and execution are somewhat different and make a refreshing change. In August of 2012, Quintin walked the 170 mile length of the river, from Kemble in Gloucestershire all the way to the city of London, backpacking and wild camping all the way in 10 days. more
Postcards from Scotland
Our Autumn holidays in Scotland are always a gamble. Is there going to be any decent weather? Is there going to be any autumnal colour? more

Neil A White
The Lost Villages project aims to explore the constant battle between the North Sea and the mainland and to document the irreversible change taking place on the Holderness coast. more
An Introduction to Colour
