I’m possibly speaking too soon but i think Spring is finally here in the UK and the snow is on it’s way out of here. However, i thoroughly love the snow for Winter Landscape Photography and usually come away from Winter with at least one lonely tree shot. This was shot on a golf course in Suffolk where a sand bunker and the subtle gradient of land had filled with an immense snow drift. I was able to use that drift to force perspective slightly and give the foreground some slightly textured interest. I am particularly fond of the sweeping foreground curve that compliments the curved horizon.

I decided to experiment more lately with grain photography and Intentional Camera Movement photography. This and the below shot were taken on a Fuji X100 with a high ISO and ICM. Here i experiment with a more abstract street photography approach and for me it’s returning to a style i shot when i first started my journey with photography. The Fuji X100 for me doesn’t have the same noise/grain likeability as my Canon 7D, but there is no denying the camera is fantastic!

Cannon Beach, Oregon is a location that is far too easy for great seascape photography, then again my opinion of Oregon is all of it is just too easy. This long exposure seascape photo was taken in May 2012 during a wonderful sunset. It is easy to be sidetracked by Cannon Beach’s Haystack Rock, the huge 235-foot monolith that stands out like a sore thumb. But i preferred to focus on what are known as ‘The Needles’ for a more simple and minimalist composition.

Be sure to check out my gallery of Oregon Seascape Photography.

Hi ISO! Hello Grain! is a new blog/project that showcases High ISO photography along with an abundance of grain. My love of grain, motion blur and also my nostalgia for film grain are a major inspiration for setting up the blog. Many different styles such as landscape photography, seascapes, abstract and also quite possibly some street photography will feature. Most, if not all shots will be digital and be ranging from high ISO’s of 3200, 6400 and higher.

Art on the Prom which takes place along the seafront in Felixstowe was another success for myself and i’m sure for many other artists. I displayed some new landscape photography as well as some older work which was all well received. The weather held out, people were out in force and there was generally a superb atmosphere. I’d like to thank all the people that managed to take time to view my landscape photography, purchase prints and speak to me personally about my work. I will be back next year for the 10 year anniversary with hopefully plenty of new work.

Please feel free to contact me if we spoke on the day at Art on the Prom and would like any further information regarding my photography.

Abstract Expressionism photography has always been at the heart of my photography since i first started, abstraction was a first love and a great way of experimenting in my early days with photography.

I have also been working on another experiment in Abstract Expressionism photography which is an ongoing series of black and white Abstract Grain Photography.

Yachats, Oregon is a wonderful stretch of coastline to exercise seascape photography. It is packed with countless smooth and jagged rock formations that let the waves splash or flow randomly.

Caution is advised of course as those wonderful Pacific waves can be so unpredictable at times. The lack of clouds during this seascape photography shoot pushed me to wait fully until the sun had dropped behind a small bank of cloud on the horizon resulting in some very pleasing light.

Cape Kiwanda located in Pacific City, Oregon is an absolute gem for seascape photography, sandy cliffs, a large seastack named Haystack rock, huge waves and great views of the coastline. The small cape is easy to navigate around and offers an abundance of fantastic views at sunset of the Oregon coast. While in Oregon i was told i was lucky i had such great weather, sunny and blue skies. I prefer my skies to have cloud detail for photography and while staying in Pacific City i was greated by the best sunset of all my time staying on the Oregon Coast, here is one shot taken that evening.
