Two images by Mark Sunderland are featured in the November 2007 issue of Daleman magazine.

Entitled 'A Different View' - another angle to some of the Dales most popular beauty spots, two semi-abstract shots of How Stean Gorge and Malham Cove take up the centre pages.

For details of the magazine see http://www.dalesman.co.uk/subs/page1.htm

This issue of the Daleman is currently available in newsagents.

A similar image Waterfall, How Stean Gorge is availabe in Mark's Autumn in The Dales online fine art print gallery.

A similar Malham Cove image is available as a poster in Mark's Yorkshire Landscapes poster series.

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

See the full series at http://www.marksunderland.com/Portfolio/Seascapes.html

Mark Sunderland will be presenting images from countries on both sides of the Atlantic in a talk to be held at Harrogate Photographic Society this evening, Monday 5th November 2007.

Mark will be showing work from trips to the American South West, South America and around Europe from over the past decade or so, and finishing with more recent work from England, particularly Yorkshire.

Harrogate Photographic Society meets at The Friends Meeting Hall, Homestead Road, Harrogate at 7:45pm.

This issue also includes a gallery feature by Mark and a waterfalls technique article.

The gallery feature includes The Backlit Maple from Westonbirt Arboretum (below).  Mark shot this image quite a few years ago on his Deardorff 5x4 large format camera and it has always proved popular as a print and greetings card, but this is its first magazine appearance!

The waterfalls feature, plus a digital technique section, features Mark's Swirling Leaves, Walden Beck and West Burton Falls images from his Yorkshire Through The Seasons collection, along with some of the new images from his recent Moving Water series of limited edition prints.  The article explains how these new images were made.

Photography Monthly is published by Archant Specialist www.photographymonthly.com

Unfortunately the Original Art Exhibitions event at Addingham this weekend (July 29th) has been cancelled.  A number of exhibitors travelling north are not able to attend due to the recent flooding.  Apologies for any inconvenience caused.  The two day event in August will go ahead as planned.

In fact, August will be a busy month, with Mark Sunderland showing at four two day events, so there are plenty of opportunities to see his photographs...

4-5 August: Grassington Arts and Crafts Fair, Grassington Town Hall

10-11 August: feva ART @ Cliff House, Hilton Lane, Knaresborough

16-17 August: Wensleydale Craft Fairs, The Market House, Hawes

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!

A selection of poster style prints that have been proving popular at art shows and fairs is now available online at www.marksunderland.com

There are two series of poster prints available:

Atmospheric Landscapes http://www.marksunderland.com/Posters/Posters1.html

Yorkshire Landscapes http://www.marksunderland.com/Posters/Posters2.html

All poster prints are printed on A3 Epson Archival Matte paper and are priced at just £9.95 plus delivery.

I was walking along the Nidd Gorge this weekend and, although the flowers are not out yet, the distinctive aroma of the wild garlic was defintely in the air, reminding me of this spring image taken in Strid Wood last year...

Look out for my article about the remote landscape of Chile's Region XI in the April issue of Outdoor Photography magazine published today.

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!
