We always eagerly anticipate Tom Seaton’s entries into our competitions, his work is always among the most memorable of the year. He is able to make those resonant images from the most unpromising subjects; a few people on a beach, a disused lido, a window, a door, even a chink of light though a gap […]
British Portraits by Niall McDiarmid at Oriel Colw...
Niall has a growing reputation now and it is in no small part due to this project which started as little more than an afternoon’s entertainment and has now gained international recognition. He simply went out with a vague idea of taking portraits of people he met on his walk one Sunday afternoon. Quite quickly it developed […]
Peter Bainbridge
Although Peter Bainbridge specialises in photographing aircraft he often turns his lens on wildlife too and we sometimes see his landscapes and so on. Last season gave us one of the best talks of the season where he described his subjects beautifully and had his audience enthralled. For a competition picture, however, you need something […]
Nature Photography – Robert Brown
Patience, fieldcraft and the right equipment go a long way in getting you shots like this. Today’s cameras will take many frames per second but good timing, even anticipating the action, is still paramount. Of course nature provides us with many beautiful subjects, not all as small, lively, rare and wary as the Dartford Warbler pictured […]
Inside The Outside
Inside the Outside is a new collective formed by four photographer/artists whose work reflects their view that being in the landscape (and representing it) is to simultaneously inhabit two worlds; the one before them and the one inside them. The four have already produced a lot of deeply interesting work and working as a collective […]
Bowler Man by Peter Robinson
We are bound to feature successful photographs on our front page but at times we have the pleasure of presenting those works which perhaps didn’t fare so well in competition, yet are more than worthy of attention. Such an image is Peter Robinson’s Bowler Man, which he entered into our portraits competition at the end […]
Liverpool Library Rooftop – Morgan Griffiths
This work is by Morgan Griffith member of CPS and independent film maker. I think it makes a very good photograph because there is plenty of visual interest there and yet it is ordered, clean. It is not just a record of what this piece of architecture (Liverpool Library roof) looks like, the way Morgan has […]
Sunflower
Last weeks picture of the week was Ralph Browes’s Dolomitian Sunflower, which was submitted last year as a print. Ralph is a keen walker and took this shot on one of his expeditions. The alpine location is clear from the background but sunflowers cannot fail to be anything but bold and brassy and it thrusts […]
Promotional Video – Elia Locardi
Yes, it is a promotion but I’m sure many of you will enjoy watching the very well produced video by landscape photographer Elia Locardi as he talks about shooting in Iceland and then takes you though an introduction to his method of processing his photographs. He starts with Lightroom to make some basic adjustments and […]
Paul Hill – L&CPU Prints 2016
Just Chilling is a photograph entered as a print in our 2015-16 season’s competition by Paul Hill. Paul also entered it into the L&CPU Annual at the end of the season and it has been selected to be hung in their exhibition and tour the clubs next year in the folios of the best work […]
