View Article  Seascapes Series of Limted Edition Prints Now Available

The Seascapes series of limited edition prints by Mark Sunderland is now available at www.marksunderland.com

Mark explains this new set of images as follows:

"My inspiration for this series of images has been contemporary seascape painting rather than photography. I love the simplicity of images which are just made up of layers of blue - sea and sky punctuated by clouds and waves and the light interacting with these elements. Working digitally and experimenting with camera movement along with the movement of the waves I have tried to create similar images of the sea photographically. The camera settings became less important than usual in this process, with the speed and shape of the camera movement having more impact on the final image, like the brush strokes of the paintings that I admire."

A sample image Sea of Light II is shown below

View Article  June Image of the Month: Upper Nidderdale, Summer

This month's image was taken late last summer way up at the top of Nidderdale...

Nidderdale may not be as famous as the dales within the Yorkshire Dales national park, but it's still worthy of a visit to see typical dales barns and dry stone walls - and it tends to be a lot quieter!

View Article  February Image of The Month: Farndale in Winter

This month's image shows a light dusting of snow over the patchwork fields in Farndale on a winter day:

After taking this image, as I was putting the camera gear away, some of the sheep came over to the nearby gate - clearly hoping I was about to produce a fresh bale of hay from the back of the car, but sadly I had nothing to give them!
