The afternoon light disappeared as quickly as it arrived leaving us with grey clouds and rain in the distance. But we were out of the car, so we grabbed our gear and followed the sound of the water. Just over the dry stone wall we found our next shot down the Pass of the small brook tumbling over rocks and boulders.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A last minute trip to the English Lake District In spring and we got lucky with the weather. As we climbed Scafell Pike it was grey and misty until we made it above the clouds, where we were greeted with blue skies.

We spent a weekend in the Lake District and on the way stopped off to explore the shores of Wast Water. Weather was perfect, if not a bit chilly and I was jealous of the folks swimming and kayaking in the water. We got another lucky look at the lake as the road to Gosforth was blocked by a crash between a Vectra and a Tesco van.

This stunning Waterfall in the north of England gave me nightmares. I honestly couldn’t fall asleep that night as the image of watching down from where it all starts, was so frightening. It was the most violent waterfall I’ve witnessed.

Rainbow over the Yorkshire Dales, I was treated to the rainbow over this barn in the distant. I thought whoever's' barn it was would have a bit of luck that day.

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 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

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.

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

The Gormley ‘In Another Place’ sculptures are famous on Crosby beach, children play amongst them and occasionally tourists and art lovers interact with them, but when the tide marches in they remain, motionless staring out to sea with only a horizon filled with wind turbines for company. I doubt Gormley’s original intention was to highlight climate reality, but the image of the figure staring out to sea at the turbines is a powerful one nonetheless.

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.

We were walking up a hill in the North Yorkshire countryside and I decided that this scene would make a beautiful image. I used an old Helios 44-2 to capture this landscape. It almost looks like a watercolour painting.

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
