I spent an enjoyable evening with Jon in York at the cities cycle race track. We spent a few hours photographing the cyclists from different angles and perspectives using various shutter speeds together with the dynamics of the road. I am not a cyclist but the skills used and tuition given certainly made me think about where I wanted to be and what settings to use during the recent Tour De France.

The tips learned for photographing cyclists could be transferred to any sport with where capturing motion is concerned, horse trials could be next on my list! Thank you Jon, a pleasurable evening indeed.

I bought your 2013 calendar of Lancs and Cumbria Landscapes to give to a friend for Christmas last year and never managed to part with it. I love the photos. I love the fact that they are intelligent, beautifully composed takes on some less well known spots in this wonderful area. (I rather hope that your calendars don't get too widely distributed or they may not stay this way!) As someone who prefers to avoid tourist attractions, these are the places that I love to go and walk in. I've been looking around for a 2014 calendar of your shots but haven't found one yet - less than a week to go!

lesschofieldphotography Hi just found your site its great i live in somerset however i came from a little town call rawtenstall in lancashire , looking at your pics reminds me of good times spent up north love the pics of bowland so special and i have recently bought a nikon p7700 to go with my DSLR and agree with your verdict , its a great little camera feels so good in the hands, but very noisy above 100 keep up the good work.

Coincidence ? Bought your D3200 book for my wife (sorry I am a Pentax man myself), and the next week bought your Arthur Ransome book without realising they were both by you ! I am at my Lake Anna house here in Virginia USA. Reading your Ransome book. My Father was born and raised in Rossendale Valley, strong family ties to the area. Love your pictures, do you have any of the valley area ? Regards, James Dearden.

Your D5100 book is excellent.
