Jewellery Quarter Graveyard Birmingham

In today’s post there are a mixture of still and panoramic images. One of the things I enjoy photographing the most personally is graveyards. I know, I probably sound like some kind of sicko, but I’m fascinated by the history of them. It interests me to see different style headstones but most importantly I like [...]

Today I took group shots of Freshers week for Birmingham University Medical Society. I had shot some small groups before this job but this was the largest group photograph job I have done to date. To give you an idea, in the first photo there are roughly 350 people in it. The shoot itself was [...]

Along with St Pauls Square, my favourite part/thing about Birmingham is it’s canal network. I simply like the canal because there is a such a variety of architecture as you walk along it. For example, from the Summer Row end which is right by the Jewellery Quarter, it’s very industrial. There are a lot of [...]

Thumbnail image for Lichfield Cathedral Panoramic

One of the very first panoramic images I ever shot was inside of Lichfield Cathedral in Lichfield, right at the north of Birmingham. Compared to how I shoot panoramics in 2010 these are a little rough and ready (they’re not wide enough as they were only shot on a single axis and also they weren’t [...]

I’ve been going through a big thing recently about shooting panoramics. I just love them. While taking landscape photos doesn’t really interest me I love the ability to check minute details in a wide panorama. All of these photos were taken with either a Canon 5d mounted on a Really Right Stuff head and Manfrotto [...]

Birmingham is one of my least favourite cities, as everyone who knows me can tell you, but there were still a few places that I liked which include this area near Brindleyplace. Funny that I lived in Birmingham for almost exactly 9 years but I never went inside the National Sealife Centre, but it certainly [...]

On 22nd November 2006 I was comissioned as part of a college project to take any photos of the interior of the Symphony Hall and Town Hall. This was my first big architectural/interior project and I’ve always loved fisheye lenses so I wanted to see what I could come up with. I’m pretty happy with [...]

Today I have for you a compilation of my favourite photos from the time I lived in Birmingham. I lived in Birmingham for a total of 9 years, almost to the month, but I was quite happy to leave there. This isn’t to say Birmingham is a bad place but sometimes you fit into a [...]
