Print of the Month – April

This month’s Print of the Month is certainly different to the previous three prints in that the image was only captured during my first photographic trip of this year within the last few weeks and has not been released until now. It is an image of Thurne Mill on the Norfolk Broads which was built in 1820 and the windmill, once used for drainage, is now owned by the Norfolk Windmills Trust.

Don’t forget that that each image chosen will only be placed as Print of the Month once so if you like this particular image, buy it at the specially reduced price of 30% below normal prices (excluding postage) before the end of April.

The print will be 10 ins by 15 ins. This size is ideal for matting and framing in a 16 ins by 20 ins frame.

If  ”Thurne Mill” is not one of your preferred images then by all means please share with me your favourites and I will see if we can make them available in due course.

One Journey – More Destinations

2012 not only sees the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen but for two more of the country’s National Parks. The Peak District, Lake District and Dartmoor all celebrated theirs in 2011 and this year it is the turn of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, which celebrated the actual day on 29th February. Also on 28th November the Yorkshire Coast and Moors will celebrate 60 years as a National Park. Last year I managed to visit Dartmoor and the Lake District as part of my photographic tour so this year I intend to include Pembrokeshire and the Yorkshire Coast and Moors in my journey.
I had a brief visit to Pembrokeshire in 2007 but on this years visit I intend to spend more time capturing the wonderful Northern coast.

I also have plans to revisit Cornwall, Norfolk and Suffolk all of which I have had brief photographic trips to before in 2006 and 2007 respectively.  I may find time to include part of the northern part of Essex in my East Anglia trip as it is one of the few areas of the country I have never visited. Whilst in Suffolk I was hoping to revisit Benacre to photograph the marooned skeleton of an old Pine tree again but recently discovered that last winter’s storm’s may have at last removed it from the landscape forever.

I normally make two trips to Scotland each year and one of those trips this year will include my first photographic trip to the Cairngorms National Park, the largest in Britain and whilst in this area I am hoping to cover at least part of the Moray coast. If not there may be an opportunity in my second trip, final destination still to be decided.

Phew, justing typing these few words about my plans has taken my breath away never mind still having to complete all the planning and then to actually complete the trips.

Lets hope I can stick to this years plan and we all have a great photographic year ahead.

Print of the Month – March

This months “Print of the Month” comes from the Isle of Skye and features an image captured in 2008 of the Cuillin Ridge from Elgol.
I was just passing through Skye on my way to catch the ferry from Uig to Tarbert on the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides to spend two weeks travelling the length of the islands from Lewis to Barra.  You can see some of the images from my trip in the Outer Hebrides Gallery.
