Many of us are behind the camera through choice, but sometimes events conspire to bring us out into the light. more
Manesty
Sitting in the ‘jaws’ of the Borrowdale Valley between the southern tip of Derwentwater and the village of Grange in the Lake District National Park; Cumbria, the little known area of Manesty commands an envious position in one of the most iconic areas in England. However, its position in the less visited Northern Lakes and in a spot which requires a circuitous driving route from many of the other popular Lake District locations means that Manesty and the Borrowdale Valley as a more
Nepal trip report – Everest, Gokyo and Cho La trek
These words are going through my head again and again as I continue to slowly make my way up and over the Cho La pass. Having set off at 5.30am we have now been walking for three hours and the top is still another hour away. We will soon be at an altitude of 5,420m, where there is about 50% of the oxygen there is at sea level, and this is having quite an effect on my ability to more
Blue Fields
This story started several years ago. An email arrived out of the blue: 'My boss has seen your pictures in a magazine and was wondering if you do workshops? He lives in Sydney and is coming over to Europe to see friends and would like to spend a week with you'. I didn't want the responsibility of professionally providing good photography and everything that entails, but I did sense an opportunity which seemed too good to pass up. Inspired more
Mark Littlejohn – Landscape Photographer of the Year
Take a View's Landscape Photographer of the Year was announced yesterday and it was great to be able to announce that Mark Littlejohn had won the top place. His image of the side of Beinn Fhada is beautiful and just the sort of high quality photograph we'd hoped would win. And Mark couldn't be any more deserving. Despite only starting photography a few years ago he has produced a stunning array of images, mainly from the Lake District and more

Beautiful Brockwell Park
The height of summer The old park Three years ago, I wrote an article for this magazine about my Brockwell Park project, aimed to tie in with an exhibition here in south London. It was the culmination of the previous three years spent photographing the park through the seasons with the aim (there has to be a grand aim) of demonstrating how seasonal changes transform more
Along the river Inn – Autumn in Engadine
One of the joys of living in Switzerland, as I have done for the past fourteen years, is the annual display of colour that marks this time of year. From the vineyards scattered along the northern side of Lake Geneva to the beech forests of the Jura and from the wooded hills of Ticino, replete with sweet chestnut, to the larch-covered mountainsides of Graubünden, Switzerland is a blaze of intense yellows, reds and ochres from mid-October up until winter's more
Autumnal Notes
I decided to make a foray into my local woods last weekend (5th October), my first visit for quite some months. The forecast was promising – clearing skies, a drop in temperature and no wind. As predicted there was a light ground frost, low lying mist with a promise of post dawn streams of light. Three hours later I was driving back home with a warm glow and eager to download the fruits of my labour. more
The Path of Some Resistance
With the exception of my love of wild places, photography had so far been the most persistent thread in my life more
The Science of Autumn
Every autumn we go through the same cycles of: “Autumn is early!”, “Autumn is late!”, “It looks like a good one coming”, “The leaves will be gone by November”. Our knowledge of the vagaries of autumnal colour is that loose that we grasp hold of any indicator that might support previous experience or not. I thought that this Autumn I would find out a little bit more about the processes behind our arboreal splendor and try to use this knowledge more
