Public land in The Peak; good news and bad
1 February 2011, 10:41 am

Froggatt Edge: in good hands for the next fifteen years Last week, the Eastern Moors Estate was finally signed over to its new management partnership led by the RSPB and National Trust. It hasn't been the easiest process, but its definitely good news for both the landscape and wildlife of this fantastic landscape - and the climbers, walkers, photographers and everyone else who visits it.

On of the more enjoyable projects I've been involved with over the last fifteen months or so has been photographing a walking guide for Vertebrate Graphics. The book is now in print and we're all pretty chuffed with the result. It should be in local book shops soon, or buy direct from V-Publishing here. The book is illustrated predominantly with landscape images, but shooting it was a very

Review: Asus PA246q monitor
1 December 2011, 12:20 pm

Asus PA246q Monitors are not the most exciting bits of photo equipment. I think most of us see them as a fairly uncritical part of the workflow that helps us to get from the exciting bit at the start - the camera - to the exciting bit at the end - the print.

Finally had chance to review last year's photography and thought I'd pick out a few favourites, and one near miss, that might be of interest. Hazel Findlay, Apaloosa Sunset, E3, Five Clouds, January One of those perfect Peak moments - the end of a great day and a reminder why we endure the rain.

yeah, decontextualises it.
