What is Plan B?
The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Taking Chances
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
What’s the Story?
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
A Valuable Archive
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]

Looking up the staircase
The De La Warr Pavilion staircase featured in a post earlier this year (click here to view it). We were back there again last week on a glorious summer’s day and I was irresistibly drawn back to the staircase that … Continue reading
On the stairs
Solarizing a B&W image in Photoshop is very simple and is always unpredictable. What surprised me on this occasions was the way the process handled an elliptical cloud that hung over these steps – it was the cloud that had … Continue reading
The DLWP Staircase
DLWP is short for De La Warr Pavilion – an Art Deco styled building in Bexhill-on-Sea on the South Coast of England. Built in the 1930s, the driver behind the building was the 9th Earl De La Warr (Mayor of … Continue reading
Tate Britain’s staircase
One of the by-products of preparing a new talk for a Camera Club is that it very often involves a rummage in the archive to find images that help illustrate a point and which have never before ‘surfaced’. And today’s … Continue reading
Descending the Staircase_2
I don’t often re-work or edit images previously posted but on this occasion I’m making an exception. Do enlarge the image to see the full effect. Today’s image is a cropped version of the full frame image that I posted yesterday … Continue reading
Descending the Staircase
Retirement offers opportunities to do what you want when you want. It’s a freedom that is unrestricted by many of the issues that shackle us all during our working lives. One of the things we enjoy is visiting Country Houses … Continue reading
