In this weeks video, myself and Roaming Photography, (Steve) Roaming Photography take on this one location.

📸 Fancy a Wednesday night out… without actually going out-out? 😆

This Wednesday at 7 p.m., I’ll be doing my “My Landscape” talk for the Fotofums community — all about getting inspired to shoot local and proving you don’t need to drive 4 hours, climb a mountain, or wrestle a sheep to take great landscape photos! 🐑📷

We’ll chat about local photography, finding beauty close to home, and why that random field, tree, Barn, or slightly wonky gate near you might just be photographic gold.

So pop the kettle on, grab a biscuit (important), and come along for an evening of landscape photography, laughs, and hopefully a bit of inspiration to get you out shooting local.

Tuesday, 7 p.m. — look forward to seeing you all there!

I’m now offering photography talks for camera clubs and groups, both in person and online.

My Landscape – all about my journey in photography and how I’ve come full circle to creating meaningful images close to home.

Make It Simple – a brand new talk focused on minimalism, simplifying compositions, and creating stronger, cleaner images in the landscape.

If you’re part of a club (or know one that’s looking for speakers), feel free to get in touch for more details.

Also proud to be part of FotoFums with Thumbs Up—our photography community for those wanting to learn and grow 📸

Over the years, my photography journey has taken me through a wide range of locations, styles, and ideas. Like many photographers, I started out chasing locations—heading to well-known spots, dramatic coastlines, and iconic scenes, hoping to capture something special.And I did.But over time, somet...
