What a bank holiday, I spent 6 1/2 hours in white conditions up Bleaklow on Sunday and then like an idiot I did it again yesterday for another 4 hours. I don’t think I have ever been as wet without swimming. Now there is a very good saying “No such thing as bad weather, only… Continue reading Sunset Dream

Think we need this!
Thought with all this freezing weather we deserve a nice sunrise shot, especially so for me as it’s day 2 of our heating and water boiler swap out and move, I woke up at 2am this morning and my nose was freezing, thank God for electric blankets, I stuck my head under the sheets and… Continue reading Think we need this!
When you’re given lemons!
As the title suggests you have to make the best of a situation and there’s nothing worse than the British weather for cocking up what was to be a lovely shoot. Eilean Donan has been on my “to do” list for ages now and we managed to spare 1hr whilst driving back from Skye to… Continue reading When you’re given lemons!
