Uploaded a new gallery today, images taken in the snow we had recently. Really did not get out enough.
Please leave any comments about my work.
The R2880 is still going really well. The profiles provided online by Hahnemuhle, Museo and Canson work very well. All of these excellent papers can be purchased from On-Line Paper

Updated my web site today with images taken during our recent holiday in Scotland. We visited a number of camera clubs ~ Falkirk, Strontian, Dingwall & Inverness. The people at these clubs are really wonderful and make you feel very welcome. A special thankyou to Andy Lock & his family at Strontian, Brian & Ann Ellinson at Dingwall and John Ross at Inverness. Sue & I had a fantastic time!
Back to form. Just seen the results from the GB Cup and all award winners printed in the news letter were of people (except for an animal portrait).
As we go into the New Year, I thought it was about time that I started posting a few of my thoughts on the world of photography.
After a break of over 12 months, I entered an International Exhibition ~ Smethwick. I was fortunate enough to get 3 accepted colour prints, one of which won the RPS Gold Medal. What was just as important was the number of landscape images that were accepted, it was fantastic to see so many projected and hanging on the exhibition wall. One of the reasons I stopped entering exhibitions was that, as a landscape photographer, I might as well just send in the money. Landscapes are becoming a rare commodity and Smethwick was a breath of fresh air.
