Leeds and Yorkshire Digital Designer & Photographer
On tuesday (12/7) I took a short trip over to Scarborough, North Yorkshire for a nights stay. Despite the rain, still managed to get out and about with the camera, here are a few shots from my iPhone whilst I catch up on my photo editing backlog.
Then as I was heading home, the sun was out.
Overall it was a good little break, now I have got my interest in photography back my motivation seems to be returning too.
Not long ago I joined a new group on facebook (Leeds Photography Group) after been told by a friend about it. They meet up a few times a month to go out taking photos and on Weds (5 July) I joined them for the Car Park Rooftops meet up.
Here are a couple of photos I have worked on so far.
To go alongside the website refresh, I have created a seperate instagram account just for my Landscape photography. I will still post on my normal account too but i am keen to boost a social media presence so I have decided to create a landscapes page in the hope i can boost my sales and exposure of my work.
The Trick with instagram is to find the right hashtags for your photos, but you are limited to no more than 30 on any one photo in the description bar.
I found this article online that I found useful. https://fstoppers.com/originals/three-easy-ways-drive-new-followers-your-instagram-free-instagram-tips-part-1-159155
Dont forget to check out my instagram and leave comments etc.
On wednesday i headed up to ilkley for a few hours for a short walk and pub lunch.
On sunday (5.3.17) I took part in the Stroke Association 5K Resolution Run at Temple Newsam in Leeds.
The Charity supports people who have been affected by stroke and the families, you can learn more here
I completed the wet and rather muddy course in 37 minutes.
It has been just over a year since I restarted my blog from the beginning and it has been a good year in terms of views and reaching out on the world wide web especially with the weekly photo challenges becoming popular and despite a little hiatus midway through 2016, still had many comments.
Here I am picking 5 of my favourite blog posts from the last year or so.

I have a few ideas regarding my website, complete new layout with prints to purchase etc.
This weeks challenge subject is Graceful. I went for a walk at my local park through the week and I always find it peaceful even if it was cold and wet.
Here are 5 posts i enjoyed and wish to share.
