RSPB Sherwood Commission

Having spent a lot of time photographing Sherwood Forest, for my yearlong project and beyond, I was delighted to be contacted by the RSPB at the start of this year about their project to restore the old visitor centre area within the forest.

For those who aren’t aware, the RSPB took over management of Sherwood last year, and part of the changeover was working alongside Natural England to relocate the visitor centre, as the old one built in the 1970s was within a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with the buildings, car parks and footfall all having an impact on the ancient oaks nearby.

L.Type Prints

Update November 2018: Unfortunately it appears L.Type have closed down, this is a real shame as the quality of the printing and service was outstanding. I’m leaving the review up and if they do open again I would continue to recommend them, but please don’t try ordering or using the voucher code.

Saal Photobook Review

I recently had the opportunity to put together a photobook from Saal Digital in return for a review of the product when it arrived, I hadn’t heard of Saal before and am always a bit cautious of these kind of offers but another photographer I follow (Matt Holland) had recently taken up this deal and been really impressed with the quality so I jumped at the chance to get some recent work printed.

New Year's Resolutions 2016

If you read my last post (here) you would have seen that my first year really trying to get my photography out there started with a New Year’s resolution twelve months ago. Because of how well that turned out I’ve decided to make some more for 2016 and hopefully carry this on, so below are my new resolutions, I’m looking forward to seeing how I get on with these.

Review of 2015

Some of you may know that this year has been my first actually trying to get my photography out there, it’s been a hobby for a good few years now but past sharing on a few sites like Flickr and 500px I hadn’t taken it any further.

A lot has changed in the last year so I thought it was worthy of a quick round up!

Towards the end of 2014 a few people made comments on my photos which gave me the confidence that they might be popular outside family & friends, so I made a New Year’s resolution to try and sell a print to someone I didn’t know.

Amateur Photographer Christmas Cover Competition

  • News

A while back I entered a couple of photos into the Amateur Photographer magazine competition to be on the cover of the Christmas edition.

The magazine came out this week and I didn’t make the cover, but from over 500 entries I made the shortlist of 20 runners up alongside some stunning photos of winter scenes including a few from some very talented photographers I know from Twitter.

My photo is shown in the magazine in a small mockup alongside the other shortlisted shots and you can also read the article online here.

What Digital Camera Feature

  • News

One of my photos is featured in the December issue of What Digital Camera magazine which is out now in shops and digital format online.

This came off the back of a previous feature for Amateur Photographer which is a sister magazine and also included this image as part of my portfolio.

This is in the ‘Things to try this month’ section where some other stunning photos are shown with tips on compositions or techniques to try out.

Not my usual landscape photography style, this shot was a chance capture that caught my eye on the walk back from a birdwatching trip so I’m really pleased that it has now been published in two national magazines.
