Hiking Epic Rap : The Background

9 June 2014

So you've seen the Epic Hiking Rap, and now you want the background? Are you serious or is this a joke? I'll leave you to apply Poe's Law. Where did this start? For years, the University of Manchester Hiking Club had a tradition where a specific longstanding club member would write and present a poem […]

Recently in Sheffield, I saw this poster on a phone box:

The Ardwick Quarter at Dusk

Summer is pretty. Recently, we've been having some great sunsets and I snapped this view down Plymouth Grove, silhouetting the old Plymouth Grove pub against the sky.

A photostory: Bowfell and Crinkle Crags from Langdale

Onwards (Teaser)

4 May 2013

So basically, I may have slightly screwed up my travel times to Glen Coe, and been forced to sit around Manchester for a bit. I decided to put that time to good use. This is an experimental teaser for Onwards. It's the introduction, possibly the only scene – I'm unsure whether it's worth taking it […]

How best to weather seal your Canon 5D mkII (if you're me)

25 January 2013

CING recently asked on twitter how photographers looked weather sealed their cameras: CING photographers, anyone using this weather seal for your camera? what do you think? #photographer ow.ly/h1a09 — CINGnetwork (@CINGnetwork) January 23, 2013 and so I thought I'd share this photo of me, from Scotland (the summit of Ben MacDui in fact) in December, […]

The Out Takes

12 December 2012

Barcamp Blackpool Video

1 October 2012

I recently went to Barcamp Blackpool – I've blogged a bit about that here, but right now I want to talk a little about the video I made. The video was the first real footage I shot on my new camera and the first full thing edited using my new workflow. First, have a look […]

Things gets serious…

26 September 2012

For a while, in fact, as long as I've been able to, I've messed around with video. Nothing particularly exciting, just the odd bit here, the odd bit there, but I've always been limited by my cameras. My first video capable digital camera was shocking. I mean, truly terrible. One could only film outdoors with […]
