  • Rediscovering my Canon G9

    Ten years ago I bought myself a Canon G9 compact, and absolutely loved it. Me and that camera went everywhere together, but inevitably when I got my Canon 6d the G9 was relegated to ‘The Drawer’, where it has resided ever since. I recently rediscovered it, charged it up, and tried a few test shots.…

  • What pumpkins do when Hallowe’en is over

    I went to the Hebden Bridge Pumpkin Festival last weekend. A trip to Hebden Bridge is always something I enjoy, as it’s such a pretty little town with a wonderful vibe. This time I noticed quite a few changes since my last visit. Some of the old shops had closed and quite a few new…

  • BHS NW Dressage Championship

    I spent the day photographing The British Horse Society NW Dressage Championship at Bold Heath Equestrian Centre. Here are some of my favourite images from the day. This is the third event I have photographed for The British Horse Society and was a little bit different to the Aintree Summer Camps I’ve photographed. Shooting with the…

  • Ribble Valley Mod Weekender, 2018

    The annual Ribble Valley Mod Weekender has came around again. Once more the streets of historic Clitheroe, Lancashire, were taken over by scooters, Fred Perry polo shirts and Dr Martens boots. I love the smell of the two-stroke exhaust from the scooters as they ride into the town. Everyone is so proud of their wheels,…

  • Happy Childhood Memories

    Today I went back to my old home town of Great Harwood, and walked around for half an hour with my camera. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for years. It’s grim up north, but it’s where I grew up, where I spent many a happy summer day playing in those backstreets as a…

  • The British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre Open Day

    Today, I spent a few hours photographing the Open Day at The British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre. The BTRC is a British Horse Society Approved Retraining and Facility Centre, and is one of the most immaculate yards I have visited. The BTRC hold an Open Day every year, and I can heartily recommend a visit if…

  • British Horse Society Northwest Camp 2018

    Last week I volunteered a day of my time to The British Horse Society to photograph their Northwest Camp at Aintree Racecourse. This is the second time I’ve been one of their official photographers – the last time was in 2016. I got some great pictures second time around, and am already looking forward to next…

  • Aintree Colour Run 2018

    Yesterday I volunteered a day of my time to The British Horse Society to photograph their Northwest Camp at Aintree Racecourse. When I arrived the course was surprisingly busy, and I soon discovered there was another event going on at the same time! It was the 2018 Aintree Colour Run. I’ve never been to one…
