Spring Hares
Published: 28th April 2015 at 10:56 am .
We’ve reached that time of year when the days start to get longer and warmer and the natural world begins to leap into action. Spring flowers bloom and wildlife begins to emerge from hibernation. New lives are born and courtship and mating rituals are in full flow. For me one of the most evocative mammals […]

Hello everyone it’s been a while since my last blog, and I can only blame laziness. I struggle with blogging as it isn’t something that comes naturally to me, I just need to work on it and put in a bit more effort I guess! Anyway here is some info and a selection of my […]
The Roaches
Published: 16th March 2015 at 11:27 am .
The Roaches are one of the Peak Districts best known and most popular locations. Situated high above Leek and the Tittesworth Reservoir the Roaches, along with Ramshaw Rocks and Hen Cloud, form a dramatic gritstone escarpment with spectacular views and unique rock formations. The area is very popular with photographers, hikers, rock climbers and freerunners alike. […]
Three Shires Head

Three Shires Head is a point on Axe Edge Moor where three counties Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet. It’s actually possible to stand with one limb in each county! To top it off there’s some stunning scenery and a couple of old packhorse bridges. Just for fun I’ve included the shot from the heart wrenching […]
Peak District in the Snow
Published: 19th February 2015 at 5:10 pm .
As a nature photographer I endeavour to photograph my environment under a wide variety of weather conditions. Disappointingly though I have not managed many of snowy conditions. Last year we had none whatsoever, and the year before, even though there was plenty of snow, I was still getting to know the best locations to visit and […]
30 Minutes On Higger Tor
Published: 7th February 2015 at 6:49 pm .
The conditions were amazingly varied last week at Shelter rocks on Higger Tor last with sunshine one second then dark moody skies and hailstorms the next. You can literally see the crepuscular rays meeting the hailstorm in the centre of one of the images! I spent the afternoon either hiding under the rocks (they really do live up to […]
Burbage Abandoned Millstones
Published: 17th January 2015 at 9:13 am .
These abandoned millstones below Burbage Edge are another Peak District photography spot I like to return to every so often. I knew that at this time of year the sun sets directly behind the stones, I just needed the right weather conditions and decent sunset. On Monday the forecast looked promising, so I set off […]
Donna Nook Seals
Published: 7th January 2015 at 12:13 pm .
For much of the year grey seals are out at sea or hauled out on far away sandbanks, but from October to December the seals come ashore to give birth to their pups on the sand dunes of Donna Nook. Donna Nook is home to one the largest and most accessible grey seal colonies in […]
Carhead Rocks

Carhead Rocks are one of the lesser known edges in the Peak District National Park. This small gritstone edge is situated just below the mighty Stanage Edge, with great views overlooking the Hope Valley. I visited on a beautiful autumn afternoon a couple of hours before sunset. Thanks for looking!
Bamford Edge
Published: 20th November 2014 at 6:14 am .
Bamford Edge is deemed to have some of the best views in the Peak District National Park, and when you’re standing on Great Tor looking out, it’s not hard to see why. There are fantastic panoramic views in all directions; facing south west you can see the Hope Valley, north west you can see past […]
