25 Breathtaking Landscape Photography Sites You Must See

Hello again everyone, How have you all been ? I've recently had a major change in direction and have become far less interested in Dorset having shot the vast majority of it for the past ten years and needed fresh landscapes to really enjoy my photography again. I love Dorset with a passion but theres only so long you can keep going to the same old places and couple this with the absolute explosion of photographers here now and the constant clashing of tripods along the coast

Well I finally seem to be getting the landscape photography mojo back and getting out a bit more ! And what better way to encourage this than a trip to mid Wales to the Elan Valley. I have been thinking about photographing the Elan Valley for a good year but hadn't ever managed to get up there, many things have stopped me in the past, The Brecon Beacons being one of them which I had to go through in order to get to the Elan Valley and that alone was a huge obstacle as I could

Welcome back to everyone and I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and wish you all a very Happy New Year. 2017 was an interesting year for me as far as landscape photography went, I left the coast alone pretty much all year and concentrated on inland areas mainly due to wanting a change and because of my beloved puppy who I felt wasn't ready for dangerous swelling seas and cliff tops just yet, instead we just got chased several times by killer cows ! So much for inland be

So I had just started my Scottish adventure by visiting the Trossachs National Park and now I was venturing north to get to the Highlands, somewhere I have wanted to visit for so long. As I drove around Loch Lomond it never seemed to end, it was a vast loch thats for sure, but I was eager to see Glencoe as it was an area I wanted to focus heavily on. It was around about a two hour journey to the lower highlands and I have to say, very very scenic and enjoyable, it was a Sunda

Well, it's been quite a week and I've learned a hard lesson. The passion I have for landscape photography is huge and simply cannot be measured but every so often she can be a harsh mistress and knock you on your ass. For roughly a month I had been planning a trip to the Brecon Beacons in Wales, an area I know very well but have only really dabbled on the fringes of mainly chasing the waterfalls there. This time I was planning on shooting a few of the lakes in the area and of

The landscape photographers natural first choice is the wide angle lens and with good reason, they can capture beautiful sweeping vistas with big skies, and a wide range of interest, But are you missing out ? After many years of shooting almost exclusively seascapes and coastal photography I had a bit of a life changing event, I got a puppy who just happens to be my absolute world. He goes everywhere with me but an awful lot of the venues I photograph are quite dangerous, hig

One of the best known and loved locations in Dorset with photographers, everything you need to know about Durdle Door. Durdle Door is a limestone arch formed by continental plates shifting and compressing together and through natural sea erosion. It is famous the world over it has been featured in several films and draws tourists from the world over so as I'm sure you can imagine its a busy place not to mention being one of the best photography locations in Dorset. Summer see

Back again with another guide to the very best photography locations in Dorset, this time with a real favourite, Lulworth Cove. You don't have to live in Dorset to have heard of this wonderful location, it's one of natures finest examples of a cove anywhere in Britain and sees many visitors every year from all over the world. Lulworth Cove is a perfectly symmetrical shell like cove full of hidden ledges and great smooth pebbles just perfect to get any photographers creative j

Not a full blog post today but just a quick one to say whats going on with me as I've got lucky again this month. I was lucky enough to be asked by a company called Focus Clinics to submit an image for a competition they were running to provide an image for each county, and I was lucky enough to win the counties of Oxfordshire & my home county of Dorset. Now anyone who knows me knows how much I love Dorset and constantly sing its praises so to be asked to represent the county

July has brought a lot of things with it, sweltering heat, Lightning & Storms, a rare instance of mist in the middle of a heatwave ! It's been a funny old month. Rather than an instructional blog I thought I'd simply tell you about my exploits this month as it's been a strange one. July is usually a pretty poor month for me, it's hot and usually clear and neither of which are handy for landscape photography so I tend to take a bit of time to recharge the batteries and do some

Continuing my theme for the photography blog posts on Dorset's premier photography locations this week we will be looking at Kimmeridge Bay and it's surrounding areas. Kimmeridge bay is a photographers dream and one that you should all visit at least once in your lifetime. It has so many features to shoot and so many interesting little areas you could shoot there for years and still not cover it all, I should know I've been photographing it since 2010 and still find new areas
