I've been out and about taking macro shots recently - it seems to be a new phase for me but I am really enjoying the challenge of seeing such wonderful details is such tiny scenes. Met a lovely party of about 20 walkers from the Teesside area and I think each one stopped to see what I was doing and look at the back of my camera.

Feeling pleased with myself

I have just had it confirmed that I have been accepted as a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society and I'm feeling a bit pleased with myself. Now for the next level.

Went to Lockwood Beck again looking for some more macro shots. Not too much to float my boat today but did bump into Andrew Ball from Moorsholm. Check out Andrew's images by clicking here.

Went to Lockwood Beck for a bit of macro today. Didn't have long but didn't have to walk far to get some nice images. Here are a couple of my favourites from today. There are some more in the Macro Gallery

Had a quick trip to Roker today. The pier was shut off and there wasn't the crashing waves I had hoped for. However, there were some nice, serene seascapes to be had. Check out the Coastal Gallery.

Been neglecting the website recently - no blog posts since September. Went out shooting macro in Danby Woods with Andy Howard. Great fun. Please check the macro gallery and if you know what any of the fungi are please let me know.

Great evening in Staithes with Andy and Rick. Met a very
interesting landscape gardener called Zander. Zander loves the north east and was visiting from his home town of Edinburgh. Keep on rocking that bass guitar.
The lifeboat was out when we got there. Apparently the crew were helping an elderly couple that had got stranded on the rocks at Kettleness. Great job all at RNLI.

Another early start on Saturday to get to Saltburn while it was high tide and not raining. Not sure which I prefer, the colour or mono version.

Groverake Mine

Groverake Mine, near Rookhope in Weardale, is due to be demolished by the end of September. Last time I went there it was covered in deep snow. Andy, Paul and I went 27th August for what will probably be the last time. Great weather with some nice clouds. As silent as ever in this part of Weardale.
