Quote of the week – John Blakemore
Technique and vision are inseparably linked.
Any decision which one makes at any point in the process can significantly alter its expressive qualities, its meaning.

Higger Tor morning, looking towards Carl Wark, Peak District 2018 UK
Older summer morning shot from Higger Tor in Peak District.
I have been quite lucky with the light.
The golden light lit up the rock and mist gave the picture multidimensional feel… I’m quite pleased with this one.

Quote of the week – David Bailey
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.
David Bailey – In “Face,” (London), Dec 1984.

Peter’s Stone, Peak District 2018 UK
Peter’s Stone is a circular limestone dome in the Wardlow Mires, northern end of Cressbrook Dale. This is where the last gibbet in the county stood and local legend has it this was the last gibbeting. A gibbet was a gallows used to display the bodies of criminals after their execution and this is where they were left until long after execution with their bones rattling against the iron cage serving as a deterrent to other would-be criminals.
I have used Fuji Provia slide film for this shot. I like slide film colours. Although Provia is not my top favourite stock I like to shoot it when I can.

Out with Lady Grey
I met Lomo Lady Gray 400 by chance, in Boots drug store. It was a 3 film pack on SALE! 3 rolls of 36 exposures films for £2 ( normal price per pack is £16.99). I bought all the packs they had in the shop. Bargain. I did not know much about this film, but I took my chances.
