Byland Abbey
I was passing by today, had a few minutes to spare and was delighted to find that although it was 5.30pm the entrance gate was open.
I recommend Alex Kilbee
Over recent months I’ve been enjoying watching the Photographic Eye videos created by Alex Kilbee so I thought I’d highlight him on my blog. I find his content quite varied but all very stimulating.

Scarborough on a grey afternoon
Autumn is in the air and so with a grey, featureless sky, and rain in the air, I headed off for some people action in Scarborough. South Bay was much quieter than last month but still some interesting opportunities. There was some kind of boat event taking place – everyone was very busy so didn’t

I didn’t realise until I started seeing buildings

Struggling to develop a style
I’m still very much in the experimental phase, trying out (and enjoying) different photographic challenges – street, portrait, landscape, architecture – depending on where I am at the time. I haven’t found one yet that I think I’m just going to focus on and develop my own style which is the advice/ goal generally suggested.

Short time at South Bay, Scarborough
As usual a snatched photography walk while Sam was having a driving lesson. A sunny day so quickly made my way down to the nearest beach which was South Bay. I was already familiar with the Spa Buildings as had gone to several indoor concerts over the years but this time I approached from the
