Walking Photographer

I always love playing with the graphic nature of silhouettes #waxwings with their #punk hairdos make an ideal subject for them! #waxwing #silhouette #wildlife #ukwildlife #britishwildlife #birdstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-0ayNFzS9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cv22xl6ds1kv

Love these stunning birds. They’re usually seen over winter raiding berry trees but on this occasion, due to the unseasonably warm weather I observed them catching insects, flying in an arch and returning to a perch, not unlike our summer visitors the flycatcher. #ukwildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #waxwing #waxwings #ukbirds #ukbirding #birdstagram (at White Cross) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-0HSdlVrM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wjus63otm7f

This week I've launched my new-look blog walkingphotographer.co.uk - Part of the plan is to record more of my wildlife sightings like a couple of weeks ago when a small group of Waxwings turned up at an Aldi car park in Guisely! #WalkingPhotographer #SeeTHingsDifferent #Leeds #Guisely #Waxwings #YorkshireWildlife #Birdstagram (at White Cross) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu-zoYwFlhR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12pjynpa02kyv

In last year’s “My Yorkshire” profile, in the @theyorkshirepost I reference this place as one of my favourite viewpoints. (You can see the exact view i mean in my previous photo). This site has been a significant location for locals since at least the Bronze Age and is no less magical now! #walkingphotographer #seethingsdifferent #leeds #dawn #morning #chasingthelight #landscape #yorkshire #myyorkshire https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXzZRbluzB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=193m4d28ua3es

J W Turner, eat your heart out! I love this epic, local view of lower Wharfedale. It’s one I still have unfinished business with I feel. The natural composition of the rocks is something even the greatest landscape painters would struggle to improve! 🎨 #walkingphotographer #walkingphotography #landscape #photosofbritain #visitengland #yorkshire #bestukpics #yorkshirelife (at Almscliffe Crag) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXyMu-F9Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ble6x10nu759

Last one from the weir (for now!) #autumn #autumnleaves #walkingphotographer #weir #autumn🍁 #water #visitbritain #yorkshire #chasingthelight #landscapehunter https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNScm4Fgkx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=59s5c31cb2ag

I could spend hour after hour, day after day in this place and never grow tired! #burleyinwharfedale #bytheriver #bythewater #yorkhire https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNRwKdltVm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8finqkr4icr1

Trying to resist heading down the weir in Autumn is as futile as trying to resist a Tunnocks Teacake! #autumn #burleyinwharfedale #autumn🍁 #photographerfocus #yorkshire #greatbritain #visitbritain https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNQ_8-FH0U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tr4fd373xg8x

When possible I always try and arrive early at locations. It gives me time for a bit of personal work. Which is what I managed to do at last week’s social. I even had enough time to get the drone out! #drone #dronevideo #autumn #dji #djimavic #yorkshire #yorkshiredales #trees #fromabove #walkingphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bos7FQ1BlMx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pt3yl9kl4zbn

Fountains Abbey is one of my favourite @nationaltrust spots. I’m always stoked when I get booked for a private lesson here as I already know it will be awesome for all involved! #walkkngphotographer #walkingphotography #privatephotographylessons #photographylessons #photowalks #photowalk #fountainsabbey #ruins (at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8GZ-ch4H8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fq2c0aa7nn3d

In the Abbey where a number of scenes from films and drama have been shot. Here I’m demonstrating the qualities of soft light coming through an archway to light a portrait. #walkingphotographer #walkingphotography #seethingsdifferent #portrait #naturallight #naturallighting #portaiture #nationaltrust #fountainsabbey (at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8CSAvBeE5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=myc7wgfvn7iz

A couple of weeks ago I gave a private lesson at Fountains Abbey. What a stunning place to teach and share new photography skills! #walkingphotographer #walkingphotography #photographylessons #nationaltrust #ruins #architecture #lightandshadow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7_azXhrRR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t7l6nb09i2to

This happy wedding was totally worth getting stuck in the Leeds Festival traffic for!

Belfast's best kept secret? Bangor! I've been a regular visitor for a good few years now and I adore the place. Just 45 mins flight from Leeds/Bradford it always makes me wonder how many other unsung hidden treasures there are just minutes from the doorstep! #aerialview #bangorni #belfast #visitnorthernireland #dronephotography #drone #djimavicpro #urbanscapes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5dl-eBj6a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10qifk8pb1lh8
