Southwold Pier

long exposure seascape photography of southwold pier

Southwold on the Suffolk coast is an idyllic location for any landscape photographer. It’s full of charm with it’s colourful beach huts, sand dunes and the well known pier to which i decided to shoot on this particular day. I have photographed the pier many times to add to my collection of seascape photography but i [...]


Suffolk Snow 2012

suffolk landscape photography

In early February the UK had a few days of snow fall which was ideal for heading out to some of my favourite local locations for some landscape photography. In one morning i tried to cover a few spots that i knew would be fantastic for some beach hut photography and also some more fine [...]


Exploring Grain

intentional camera movement

Two recent photos that explore shooting with a high ISO to achieve more grain in my photography. These two abstract landscape shots were taken in and around Rendlesham Forest and use intentional camera movement with an ISO setting of 12800 shot on a Canon 7D. I find the grain when processed a little more along with [...]


Felixstowe Dusk

Seascape Photography at Dusk

Here is a recent collection of seascape photography shot in Felixstowe during October 2011. As Felixstowe is situated on the east coast the facing sky is mostly always perfect at sunset and dusk for subtle pinks and purples. The photos are a mix of techniques i practice a lot with seascape photography, all are long [...]

Felixstowe Beach Huts

f/1.8 50mm photography

Felixstowe on the Suffolk coast has an excellent selection of beach huts for coastal landscape photography.  I have photographed the beach huts intensely over the passed years from abstract fragment photographs to wider views such as these. The fiery sunset sky on this particular day really helped to make this shot one of my favourite [...]


Peak District Autumn

50mm landscape photography

On a recent trip to the Peak District, Derbyshire i was presented with dull weather for most of the week, which did not help for any new landscape photography. This was a shame as the autumn colours were out in full effect but no bright sunlight to make the colours pop. I was only able [...]


Soft Focus Seascape

abstract photography

I have recently been experimenting with shooting slightly off focus long exposure seascapes. It is another route to further a more nostalgic feel and possibly abstract look to my seascape photography. I have no idea how i was able to capture the waves in lines but this shot so far is by far my favourite [...]


Suffolk Rainbow

Felixstowe Pier Sunrise

Felixstowe Pier is a subject matter that appears in my seascape photography quite often. It’s now a derelict pier but still holds a lot of character and personal memories for me.


Rebirth

high iso grain photography

A small glimpse at a style i’ve been working on lately for my landscape photography. I have an urge to try and be more abstract and explore more of a dream-like feeling. Trying to keep digital post production to a minimum with only black and white conversion and a square crop. Sadly i no longer [...]


PX 600 Silver Shade & PX 70 Color Shade

Impossible Project

Recently i’ve been trying some impossible project polaroid film, i’ve tried the Px 600 Silver Shade film which for me has produced some really nice results and the added black frame really sets of the soft tones of the Silver Shade film. The other film was PX 70 Push which i had loaded in an [...]


Art on the Prom 2010

Winter's Picnic

Art on the Prom 2010 turned out to be another outstanding day with many people walking the promenade in Felixstowe to browse all the various art on show. The photo above seemed to be a popular photo of the day, with many people enjoying the large print. It was a pleasure to met so many [...]

Suffolk Poppies

Suffolk Poppy Photography

The Poppy is a great subject to photograph at this time of year in the Suffolk landscape. I find myself drawn to singular Poppies most of the time, I love the way they become a perfect metaphor for solitude. It’s a flower that certainly compliments the Suffolk countryside, subtle yet elegant. I have photographed them [...]


Port Orford, Oregon

long exposure at port orford oregon

On the 18th January 2010 i had the pleasure of visiting Port Orford in Oregon during a raging Pacific storm. We pulled into town about an hour away from sunset and the town seemed desolate. Over head phone/power lines swinging in the powerful winds, no cars or people, only Pelicans that were taking shelter in [...]

I have recently had two photos published in the Canon edition of PhotoPlus magazine issue 34. The two photographs that have been published are ‘Pebble at Landguard’ which was taken in Felixstowe, Suffolk and ‘Washing Away’ which was taken in Southwold, Suffolk. Each photo represents a style that i practice on a regular basis, 50mm photography all shot [...]


Oceanside Sneaker Wave

Oceanside oregon photography by Liam Frankland

Oceanside in Oregon was a perfect location to experiment with shooting long exposures with an open aperture at F/1.8. There were plenty of pieces of driftwood laying around to use as an interesting piece of foreground subject matter and the sneaker waves were also perfect for capturing the sense of motion, surprisingly i didn’t get [...]


Mendocino Rain

Mendocino in California had to be one of my favourite places i visited on a recent trip to the west coast of America. This shot was taken while exploring the Headlands State Park before the rain began. An attractive cove at low tide revealed a shoreline that was pretty much abscent of colour, dark grey [...]


Good Morning Oceanside

The Oregon coast fascinates me, when staying in Oceanside i was never able to take my eyes off the distant hills which always had a smooth flowing fog sweeping over them.


Farmer’s Art awarded 2nd Place

Farmer’s Art recieved 2nd place at the 5th Black and White Spider Awards in the Nature category. The shot was taken near Falkenham in Suffolk, which is a favourite location of mine for photographing the Suffolk landscape.
