A Field, A Lane, A Wood
A recent self help trend for those suffering stress has been mindfulness. A method where by concentrating and focusing all of your attention in on yourself and the process of breathing and other bodily sensations you are able to fully relax by blocking out negative thought. If you can take the time to assess exactly how you are feeling as you make images you should find, as I do, that you will have entered a very similar state. more
Simon Ashmore
Simon is less interested in accurately recording that which he sees than he is in combining subject, shape and tone using one or more images to create an impression. His aim is to encourage the viewer to see familiar things in a new light, and not all of his images are as they first seem. more
Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Photography can be a frustrating art form. It delights to pose questions and not to provide answers. Take this eerie image by Kilian Schönberger. Why are these trees bent at the base and straight at the top? What is going on? more
Stephen Barnett
I was first taught to process film in 1974 at my College of further education in Nottingham, but I wouldn’t at that stage call it ‘photography’ as I was on my way to Sheffield School of Art to study Sculpture. more
Wide Open Landscape
Robin Jones came to my attention with a series of photographs taken with an old Canon lens, nearly all wide open, and presented in a soft black and white look. The images stood out from my usual stream and as I had just started using a similar lens we got chatting a little - I was interested in finding out more and Robin was happy to help - Tim Parkin The Jones family settled in Cambridgeshire after my father decided more

Thomas Peck’s Critiques
Landscape photography is a slight misnomer, in that a large number of landscape photographs have as their subject not land but water. Or at least they take the interaction between water and land as a starting point for their imagery. more
Diego Lopez
Sometimes an image pops up in your feed that stops you in your tracks. For me, this happened recently with an abstract by Spanish photographer Diego Lopez and judging by the reaction when I reshared it, the same was true for many others. more
Endframe: “Reflect on Autumn” by Mark Lakeman
Working my way across the country, from Dartmoor to Yorkshire hosting the Canon GPS Days with Tim, I would have given anything to substitute the damp and grey for a few seconds of a golden viewfinder, especially in the New Forest where the colours were exceptional. more
Turning a New Leaf
For what seems all too brief, the end of October and beginning of November heralds the time that trees withdraw their sap from the green leaves to reveal carotenoids and anthocyanins. more
Fulfilling a resolution
I am a member of a photography club; I’ve entered and had some success in competitions. And this is all great and enormous fun, but I still didn’t think I had really pushed myself. And so I made a resolution. I would have an exhibition, display a series of images, and see if I could sell some more
