17th January 2013 - Happy New Year!!

Long time since my last blog update, so here's been happening.............

Liz and Pete's Wedding
December 21st was Liz and Pete's wedding at Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island. A few images of the wedding will be downloaded soon...........so add me to your favourites for immediate updates.

Due to the timings of the wedding and the tides we could not get across to the island until 11.00pm on the 20th, so that was a good enough excuse to drive up earlyish and stop off at Bamburgh village for a meal.
Singing along to Christmas Carols by Frank Sinatra, Judy and I were soon feeling in the Christmas spirit and as we arrived in Bamburgh village Frank was singing 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'........
As we entered the village we had to stop the car the village green was festooned with lights on the trees and illuminated Christmas deer, sledges............well you get the picture It was beautiful, and we must have sat there for some 10 minutes just taking in the scenery and listening to the Christmas Carols. Perfect.

After a lovely meal in the Victoria Hotel we crossed the causeway, which felt quite eerie with it being pich black and, with the bad weather we were experiencing, the sea, which normally wouldnt be on the cause way, was being blown across by the strong winds making it even trickier (I had visions of helicopters having to be called out lol)

Home for the next couple of nights was the lovely www.bamburghview.co.uk, which is run by Jamie and Carol Morrow, two wonderful hosts. This was our second stay at the Bamburgh View and we were welcomed like long lost friends by our hosts. This bed and breakfast comes HIGHLY recommended. Not only is it very comfortable, clean, quiet and in situated on this lovely island, but Jamie's breakfasts keep you going the the entire day. .

The wedding itself was great, Liz and Pete looked fanatstic and their guests were good fun to be around. Not forgetting their son............who wasnt shy when being in front of the camera (as you will see when I download some images). The day went very well but unfortuntely, the weather wasn't what we ordered. It was windy, wet and very grim, so there was very little opportunity for pictures that would normally include this spectacular setting.
All credit to Liz and Pete who still enjoyed their day whilst we made the most of the interior of the castle for the majority of their pictures.

The evening saw everyone congregate in 'The Ship', for a few drinks and a céilídh with music by the very talented                      band.

Our congratulations to Liz and Pete for a very long happy life together.


Landscapes
I have also managed to get myself out and grab some new landscapes - you still cant beat the feeling of being out there absorbing the light of a brand new day or catching the last dregs of the days light. Here are some for you to peruse.

Cullercoats Bay
This image wasnt quite how I had visualised - but this is how it was on the day.....
I had planned (or so I thought) that my timings would include the tide receeding across the old stone jetty whilst catching the sunrise. However, either the tide timetable was wrong or, I read it wrong (more likely) but the tide had receeded a little while before I got there. Ho hum.
I still quite like the result, with the lead in lines of the jetty and the warm feel of the early morning light catching the row of houses. Two images were exposed (one for the foreground and one for the sky) before doing some localised blending in Photoshop.

Seven Sisters 
Been many a few year since I last took images of the 'Seven Sister'
The top one was a blending of two images.
The second image was taken a week later using a 10stop filter to give more drama to the image. Finally cropped to give a panoramic.

Roker Pier
An incredible sunrise on Roker Pier a couple of weeks ago.

Todays the 19th and its tipping it down with snow...get the batteries charged lets get some great winter images in the bag
So there's my first posting of the New Year. I hope you enjoy the blog feel free to leave a comment or become a member to automatically receive updates.

29th November
Bertie

This little bundle of fluff is only 7 months old and was a pleasure to photograph. He has such a personality already.
Its amazing what a few doggy treats will do to hold one's attention....and thats just me...Bertie done alright too lol.
The plan was to make more images outside, but the great British weather put paid to that. In the end though I think the images worked ok inside and I quite like the lighting, what do you think, please feel free to leave a comment.
The weather recently hasnt been good so Ive asked Santa if he could deliver some better weather soon. I still believe...........
Ok time for a hot toddie.....purely for medicinal purposes.

p.s I forgot to mention I had the fortunate opportunity of doing some aerial photography for Newcastle Airport, flying around the North East in  a helicopter (without a door on) amazing experience....thanks also to Scott,the pilot from Northumbrian Helicopters.

20th November 2012.

Its been a busy few weeks and feels like I have had very little time to update the blog.
I dont have to meet many deadlines over the coming weeks so hopefully will have more opportunity to update the blog.

Well whats happened since my last posting.....Liz and Pete's Pre-Wedding Shoot......I have completed a commercial project for a major organisation and submitted images for competitions. Im hoping that I may get the chance to re-vamp my site soon too.

We have Liz and Pete's wedding next month at the beautiful Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island so that will be great just before Christmas.

In the meantime Im including a couple of pics which I have been meaning to add for some time. Hope you enjoy

October 2012.

Been a while since I had the time to sit and write a little about what I have been up to. Still really not got the time but if I dont create the time who will.

The past few weeks have been busy completing Carolyn and Ians Wedding images, then photographing the Wedding of a lovely couple Lindsay and Steve, who were married in Chester-le-Street then proceeded onto the wonderful Lumley Castle for their reception. It was a busy but lovely day and I shall be posting a few images from their day soon.

Ive got a pre-wedding shoot coming for Liz and Pete, who live in the Isle of Man. They are travelling up to stay with Pete's family and Im using some of their precious family time for their pre-wedding shoot. Liz and Steve are getting married in December at the wonderful Lindisfarne Castle on Holy Island. Im really looking forward to doing another wedding there its a spectular place for photography - lets hope the weather is on our side.

Ok so for now I shall leave you with some newly processed landscape images hope you enjoy them, Dont be shy - leave a comment.......until next time.
