It's been a long time since I have wanted to write anything for a blog. A changing world, challenges in life and demanding 10 month project has somewhat taking its toll ending in actually catching Covid in October on my 49th birthday. How's that for the opening paragraph. To be honest the camera hasn't stopped... Continue Reading →
Some of my favourite shots
I've spent the night posting landscape photography and scrolling through all my street photography. Most of these I will have posted somewhere before but lost count of where and when. Love them or hate them, to me these are brilliant. It a great genre of photography, taking a chance and deleting many to get that... Continue Reading →
Not just a style, but a craft.
As you may know, I've been taking photos for 35 years. Yet when I look back over the shots I've taken over the years they seem to jump in and out of styles and mediums constantly. I normally use a Nikon 3500 now, but more often than not a mobile phone. I also work in... Continue Reading →

The City of Leeds, West Yorkshire
This is a shot of the city of Leeds, taken a few years ago on my old Nikon 3100. I can remember what lense I would have used or what settings other than manual and a tripod. I'm always suspicious of people that remember that stuff. Anyway, bought it in a second hand shop and... Continue Reading →
Dean Road Cemetery, Scarborough
I've always had a fascination for a good Cemetery and Dean Road Cemetery in Scarborough is one of my favourites. We had spent a Bank Holiday weekend at the East Coast of Yorkshire. One evening we walked through the graveyard for more than two hours. Reading the headstones and taking shots. It was magical. ©Lucas... Continue Reading →
