Look out for work by Mark Sunderland in two current monthly photography magazines.

Mark has three Yorkshire Dales images featured in the guide to The UK's 101 Best Landscape Locations in the August issue of Photography Monthly.  The featured images are Ingleborough in Summer, Pen-Y-Ghent and Oak Trees in Spring from the Ingleton Waterfalls Walk.

Meanwhile, Outdoor Photograhy features three summer images of Scarborough on the Yorkshire Coast in the Portfolio section of the August issue.

Both titles are on sale now.

A new selection of spring images including Bluebells and Spring Trees is now available on the Mark Sunderland Photography website.

Four new images from Middleton Woods near Ilkley, along with a stormy image of Ivy Scar in Wensleydale have been added to the Spring In The Dales section of the site.

In Bluebells and Spring Trees (above), a gentle movement of the camera was used to produce a more abstract image of Middleton Woods, concentrating on the colours of the bluebells and fresh spring leaves.

For the full spring selection see http://www.marksunderland.com/Portfolio/SpringInTheDales.html

As always, fine art prints of the new images are 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

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.
