I remember seeing a picture like this a long time ago. I knew at that point that I would have to go and experience it for myself one day. After some research, it turns out that if you wait until the end of the Summer the sun sets right at the top of the valley resulting in this magnificent sunset! I still feel like the picture doesn’t even do it justice!

Managed to get this shot about halfway through my hike the other day. I peaked the trail I was on to discover a deserted reservoir, not a person in sight. Ended up jumping the wall surrounding it to shoot some stuff, resulting in this image. Luke.x

An inquisitive tree lover from my local park gardens. Probably on the hunt for snacks but only finding photos. I love the longing look into the mid distance pose I managed to direct.

So, this is during my university life. I had planned to capture light trails in Manchester since a long time. One night after dinner, a week before I was returning to my home country for summer break I suddenly decided to hit the road for light trails. For me it’s not about the end result always, it’s more about the process. Because the process he’s you to the destination and that’s not only in photography but in life everywhere.

After a 7 mile walk around the beautiful Gisburn Forrest in the Forrest of Bowland we were against the clock. The winer sun was setting fast and so we knew we had to take a shortcut through, what looked like, a disused track back to our car We stumbled across an old pine forrest that had been hit by a massive storm only a couple of years ago. Everything was perfect, the sun just landing on the horizon, the temperature dropping to 0c and even Wally our dog not running through shot. Amazing what you find off the beaten path

This is one of those classic shots where you get the shots set up you get the angle right and then everything changes but in this case, for the better. the sea washed in and with a bit of seafoam and it made the whole thing come together especially when you can see the flow of the water just caressing the side of the shell

Im a student, I live in London 9 out of the 12 months so when I visit home, there is no better feeling than breathing the fresh air and exploring my surroundings. Ashby Ville is a lake which took the life of one of my close friends when I was younger, the council took action and made the area safer and more environmentally friendly, it was great to explore the new land.

We took a walk in Bradgate park, Leicestershire to try out a new camera. The park is an enclosed deer park where the deer can roam free. The path ran along side some ferns, and as we reached it, a we saw a deer disappear into the greenery, with only it’s antlers showing. We moved in line with the deer, hoping it would look up, but only when my wife started making noises with her mouth did we get it’s attention. It looked up, and straight at us, and with full zoom I managed to capture a few pictures before it ran away. I love the colours in this shot, and how the ferns frame the deer’s head.

This has to be my favourite image from my latest day shooting and this was a super last minute shot. I had my bag on my back, heading up the beach to catch my train home, camera still in hand. I happened to see these two lads just sat in total silence, glaring at the sunset, just like they were hooked in the moment. So down I got (to their level) and took the shot. Best last minute shot ever. Luke. x

We took a wrong turn on the way to some caves you’ll see in other photos, but instead of turning back we found an empty field for an impromptu game of baseball. Second time this year that I’ve played baseball in a British National Park and there is nothing better than spontaneous games in the most beautiful settings. Not sure this will be an image that others can use particularly but it was one I wanted to share regardless, hope you like it.

It was the end of a long day in the Lake District. We just managed to get some bouldering in on Langdale Boulders as the sun began to set, casting beautiful shadows down the valley.

I was speaking at a conference during the evening and arrived at Peterborough mid-afternoon. My Mum, who is in her 80’s had mentioned to see the cathedral, if I had time. I was not disappointed and the £3 filming fee was well worth it. An amazing cathedral with some fascinating history.

As I reached the top of Helvellyn from the Striding Edge approach, I took a photo of my friends posing by the summit. As I smiled and checked the photo, I noticed another group. Their arms locked together, they smiled at small jokes they made as they all stared at the lakes below us. I took this photo and then approached them to ask if they would like a copy. They were three sisters with their mother. The mother is the lady in green who's glasses you can just make out. The way they face the view as she clings fondly to her daughters; this image will always remind me of family.

Last week, I got married! Straight after, the wife and I headed up to Whitby to enjoy each other’s company. I went for a walk one morning, and was met by glorious early sunshine. As I sat down on the pier, taking in the picturesque North Yorkshire views, I felt happier than I have in a long, long time. This picture really sums this feeling up for me, and I love how the grey of my trainers are bathed in sunlight against the turquoise sea.

Setting off just before dawn, we hiked the short 1km trail up to the top of Raven Crag, which overlooks the length of Thirlmere. It was one of those bitingly cold winter mornings, but the moment the sun came up over the Helvellyn range, all discomforts are forgotten as you realise the beauty of the world.

Nothing extraordinary about this - just with the extended family, and I loved the way the abandoned floats had clustered down one end of the pool. Almost as if they knew the people had given up on the pool for the day and they only had each other for company.

I was walking through this tunnel on the High-Level Bridge in Newcastle when all of a sudden this face popped out from behind one of the pillars.
