Towards the Great Orme

January 9, 2026

When I visited north Wales, back in July, I took my Rolleiflex along with me for some slower paced photography. This also gave me the opportunity to use up some of my film stash, including a couple of rolls I’ve had for ages which have now passed their ‘shoot by’ date.

I started off on the west shore of Llandudno, walking towards the Great Orme, shooting a roll of Fuji Pro 400H - a film I bought in Cambridge years ago and have been waiting for the right moment. Fuji stopped production of this emulsion in 2021 so this one was definitely likely to be past its prime! One of the unpredictable elements of shooting with expired film can be the colour. Over time the emulsion changes and sometimes this results in curious colour shifts. As I expected, the negatives had a slightly green hue when developed, but with a little tweaking in Lightroom they don’t look too far from the reality I saw before my eyes.

My second roll of the day was some Silberra Color 160 - a film that’s been in my stash for a very long while. With this one the colour shifts were even more extreme, with a distinctly orange glow to the shadow areas. I’ve made some adjustments in Lightroom, but some of them retain this somewhat surreal, Martian look. This unpredictability comes with shooting expired film and I quite like the effect, even if they don’t quite reflect reality!

The west shore of Llandudno definitely doesn’t have sand quite this orange - distinctly martian!

A photo from later in the day as I drove round the Great Orme.

Despite its warm hue, I rather like this one - my favourite photo of the day!

Chasing the light

December 31, 2025

With the promise of sunshine for the final day of 2025 we headed to Ely, to visit the Cathedral for the first time in a few years. I love the way sunlight can create such beautiful contrasts in any church, but Ely Cathedral always offers the opportunity for interesting photos. I went equipped with just one prime lens and this creative restriction helped me seek out scenes which suited this combination of camera and lens, including the astonishing medieval octagonal lantern.

As time ticked by the sun gradually moved around the Cathedral and I found smaller scenes in the choir and the north aisle where it added pools of illumination.

Gareth Jones on Speed at twenty

November 24, 2025

Way back in 2006 I bought my first iPod and quickly discovered the joy of podcasts, which were a pretty new concept at the time. One of the first shows I subscribed to was Gareth Jones on Speed. It featured journalist and presenter Gareth Jones (friends of a similar vintage as me may recall him from 1980s TV as Gaz Top) and two of his friends, Richard Porter and Paul Ireson (known as Zog to his friends) chatting about cars. Six years later I had the pleasure of meeting Gareth when he came to shoot a video podcast at Goodwood and we’ve stayed in touch from time to time ever since. That day Gareth was kind enough to fix me up with a pit lane pass and that enabled me to take lots of photos - it’s a day I still look back on very fondly.

After twenty years of podcasting Gareth announced earlier this year that he’d be hosting an event in Llandudno to celebrate this milestone. I missed the tenth anniversary event so this time I was determined not to miss out and as soon as tickets went on sale I booked my spot and planned a long weekend away in north Wales. Knowing about my photography habit from our previous meeting, Gareth was soon in touch to ask if I could take some photos of the show so for one night only I found myself being a podcast and gig photographer!

Gareth had a full evening’s entertainment planned, starting with a live recording of the podcast. Richard has since moved on to other projects since the podcast began (he was script editor for Top Gear and The Grand Tour for many years) but he came back for this show reuniting with Gareth and Zog – the original presenting trio. With a combination of car chat and some comedy sketches, they were plenty of golden photographic opportunities, and I caught some priceless expressions on their faces!

Occasionally, I also turned my camera towards the audience, who were evidently enjoying themselves.

For the second part of the evening there was a quick change of gear and a set short of songs by the On Speed Band - namely Gareth, Richard and Zog - including some of the car related numbers they’ve sung on the podcast over the years.

The final part of the evening was a full on rock gig, performed by Gareth’s new band - the Pit Stop Boys. If you’re a photographer shooting gigs like this you usually get limited time to do your job - perhaps three songs before they throw you out of the photographers’ pit at the front of the stage. Fortunately I didn’t have this restriction and was able to shoot all evening. The Motorsport Lounge in Llandudno is a fairly compact space, so I was able to move about and capture the band from different angles, allowing me to catch action close ups of almost all the band members (sadly their keyboard player was hidden at the back and I couldn’t access the side of the stage to catch him in action).

It was great to see Gareth’s son Indigo performing with his Dad on stage too - a real family affair.

The grand finale brought everyone together, with Richard and Zog joining the Pit Stop Boys on stage for a couple more numbers - the end of a cracking evening! Here’s to the Gareth Jones on Speed 30th anniversary bash in 2035!

The church above the lake

November 14, 2025

Just a few miles from the church of St Peulan stands St Mary’s, Tal-y-Llyn. This time I was able to park right outside this incredibly remote church and was rather surprised to be greeted by what sounded like a swarm of giant bees. In fact there were no insects, but the sound I was hearing was the whine of motorbikes racing around Anglesey’s motor racing circuit four miles away. Evidently the wind was blowing in my direction to carry their sound!

St Mary’s is all that remains of an Anglesey town that was wiped out by the plague, sitting on a raised mound overlooking Llyn Padrig. Despite its isolation, it was originally built as a chapel of east to Llanbeulan, the place I’d just come from.

Opening the simple oak door I found a simple space with a huge contrast gloom at one end and the clear leaded windows at the other. It took my eyes a minute or two to adjust, but fortunately my camera was able to cope with the relative darkness.

Once again I found some delightful small scenes to photograph, many of them bathed in golden sunlight.

This accident building is simply built, but built to last with immensely thick walls, as you can see from this small window. Just to emphasise its rural location, there were cows right outside the window!

More little details, and a lone butterfly…

As I went to leave I couldn’t resist one last photograph, capturing the soft light cast through the archway onto the weathered west door.

A day of two churches

November 13, 2025

While I was staying in north Wales in July I built in some free time for photography and knew ahead of my trip that it would probably include some churches. The Friends of Friendless Churches look after a number of redundant churches in Wales, so I head to their website in search of places to visit. I found three churches, all within a few miles of each other on Anglesey so that was where I headed, feeling uncertain whether I’d manage to visit all of them in a day.

My first church of the day was St Peulan’s, which stands beside a narrow country road in Llanbeulan. It soon became clear there was nowhere to park by the church, so I found a safe spot half a mile down the road, donned my walking boots, and walked back. The first view of the church comes across the hedgerows and fields - a small island in a sea of green. The path down to St Peulan’s is a a narrow track, deeply rutted from farm machinery, so I was glad of some sturdy footwear.

Stepping inside the church I was immediately struck by the beautiful soft light, despite the harsh July sunshine outside. The scene below immediately captured my imagination, with its simple pews and the thoughtful flowers and framed photograph on the windowsill.

Looking around the church I found some beautiful small scenes to photograph, illuminated by the sunlight, including a stone font, which may have originally been -art of an ancient altar.

I was inevitably drawn to the small harmonium organ, but sadly it didn’t look like it was in a fit state to be played - something I’ve done in other churches. I sneaked up into the pulpit whose slightly raised view gave me a different view of the church, with a hymn book in the foreground.

I always find the small details of churches, particularly fascinating, and at St Peulan’s this includes a sneaky autograph left behind a Victorian glazier, scratched into one of the leaded light windows in the 19th century.

After an hour or so I’d had my fill of this small but perfectly formed church and headed on towards my second destination for the day, the photos from which I’ll share in a separate post.

Slow motorsport

November 12, 2025

Way back in the summer we spent a hot, steamy day at Snetterton Motor Circuit which was hosting a day of historic motorsport. Kevin went along armed with his digital camera and a long lens to capture some action on track, but I was in the mood for a slower, more thoughtful approach. To achieve this I took my Uncle’s Rolleiflex along, with a pile of black and white film.

A twin lens reflex camera probably isn’t the obvious choice for a subject which moves quickly, but my aim was to capture some of the life around the paddocks. Here there wasn’t likely to be a lot of fast action, so I pottered along the garages, looking out for interesting scenes as the drivers and mechanics prepared their cars to go out on track.

Wandering along behind the garages which line the pitlane I found all sorts of interesting cars and the dramatic light in many of them was perfect for black and white photography.

There were plenty of people in the main paddock too, fettling their cars before going out on track.

This was one of my favourite photos from the day - very minimalist.

A good hard stare

November 11, 2025

Most of my photography these days tends to be based around bodies of work - either ongoing projects or collections of photos from a specific place. Occasionally though single photos come my way and this is one of those. While getting to know the settings better on my camera I often use Lucy as my subject and on this occasion I couldn’t resist as she was giving me her best Paddington-esque hard stare!

A cavalcade of tenacity

November 10, 2025

When I was a child my parents and I would often spend the first Sunday in November parked up by a country road in Sussex, watching the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run come through. I’ve long wanted to do this again, but work and life have always got in the way. This year I happened to be free that day, so I needed no further reason to make it happen.

Instead of travelling towards the coast I took a different approach, catching the cars as they came through central London. As luck would have it I was working in London the day before, so I took my camera along and stayed in town overnight so I could be up early and ready for their arrival.

Under cover of darkness I set off from my hotel in the Strand and walked to Westminster Bridge, hoping to see the first cars as they came by. The run starts from Hyde Park at 7am (sunrise at this time of year) so my arrival on the bridge at 7.07 coincided perfectly with their arrival. The oldest cars set off first, including Duncan Pittaway’s 1896 Salvesen steam car (above) which came puffing across Westminster Bridge.

Not all the vehicles had four wheels. The run includes a lot of penny farthing bicycles (which came through before I arrived as they have a head start) and this 1900 single cylinder Renaux tricycle. The upwards slope of the bridge caused a few problems, and the rider ground to a halt close to where I was standing. He soon got it running again and a passenger on a passing motorcycle gave him a push to help him get going.

Click on any photo to see it enlarged.

The weather at the start of the day was particularly inclement, with heavy, driving rain at times. I’d gone dressed for the conditions (even so, I still got very wet) but many of these pre-1905 cars lack luxuries we take for granted in modern cars such a windscreen, roof or heater. In such conditions you have to admire their tenacity, or perhaps what some may term madness!

The rain certainly didn’t seem to dampen anyone’s spirits. There were plenty of people lined up along the bridge, cheering the participants on, and judging by their smiles, many of the drivers and passengers were having an absolute ball too!

While sunshine might have been more enjoyable, the rain certainly made for some atmospheric photos, with shiny tarmac and clouds of spray emanating from the wheels and tyres.

Inevitably one of the most obvious characteristics of these early cars is their sedate turn of speed and this made for some interesting moments of wheel to wheel action, as one car passed another in slow motion. On one occasion I actually saw someone on a bicycle making an overtake for the lead!

I wasn’t the only photographer on Westminster Bridge that day, and we came in all shapes and sizes. Some people were armed with phone cameras, while others were professionals capturing photos for the press, equipped with two camera bodies so as to avoid changing lenses in the rain. I made do with one camera, but I did find a momentary lull between the downpours to switch lenses and catch an alternative perspective.

After an hour or so I wandered back across the bridge, towards Parliament Square. When I first arrived the roads were all but deserted, but as time wore on the traffic grew heavier, creating some interesting juxtapositions between the historic cars and their modern counterparts.

As I photographed the car above, with its jaunty yellow-hatted occupants, I noticed a car behind which was running into trouble. The couple inside hopped out and, with the help of some of the crowd, pushed it into the central reservation of the Victoria Embankment. There they made a few tweaks beneath the bonnet and were soon on their way again.

Not all of the vehicles were cars. The folks on this Dennis fire engine looked like they were having a great time, but I couldn’t help but feel their seats looked rather precariously positioned, with very little to keep them on board!

From my new vantage point, by the end of Victoria Embankment I was able to capture a different perspective as the rain eased and the traffic began to build. Here I was able to catch groups of cars as they queued for the traffic lights, mingled in with modern cars and scarlet London buses.

As the cars spent a little more time stationary here, I was also able to see more of the characters within them, and many were evidently enjoying themselves enormously.

Two hours after I arrived on a dark and damp Westminster Bridge it was all over. All the entrants had passed me and were now wending their way through suburban London, heading toward the coast at Brighton, where they were greeted by blue skies and sunshine.

Of the 384 cars which began the run, 340 of them made it to the finish line - an amazing result considering every single one is well over a century old. As for me, it was time to go and get some breakfast and dry out… and plan for where I might go to watch this amazing cavalcade of tenacity next year!

Rehearsal in progress

October 19, 2025

Parnassian concert

Back in the heady days of summer we gave a concert with the Parnassian Ensemble in the wonderful St John’s Chapel in Chichester. It was our first performance there for several years and it was fantastic to be back as the building’s acoustic and architecture suit our music perfectly.

While Sophie, David and Gareth rehearsed their solo pieces I took the opportunity to catch some candid photos - something I never get to do while we’re all playing together.

Small scenes at Chastleton House

October 18, 2025

When work took me to the Cotswolds back in July I decided it was time to make a return visit to Chastleton House. I gave a concert there many years ago, but never had an opportunity at the time to explore with my camera. This time I chose to take a small camera body and a 50mm equivalent lens to make me look for scenes which would suit this combination.

The light was beautiful that day and I found my photos tended to fall into two categories - small scenes, showing the life of the house, and those capturing the play of light on the house and its contents.

A selection of small scenes from around Chastleton House, capturing life as it was there before the National Trust took it into their care - a house frozen in time.

There were so many beautiful corners around the windows.

One of the rooms had this beautiful plasterwork on the ceiling.

In the bedroom use by the last owner of Chastleton House. She had many cats and the saucer of milk left for them to drink from has left a permanent mark on the floor.

Finally, a few frames from the basement - some fascinating details and one of the longest ladders I’ve ever seen!
