Roundway Hill Iron Age Fort is located on the top of the Downs above the Wiltshire town of Devizes. This picture was captured on 4x5 large format Fomapan 100 black and white film on a very windy day, as such there is an element of movement in the grass and tree.
Verity is a statue by Damien Hirst, she stands at the entrance to Ilfracombe harbour on the North Devon coast. Very imposing she is too and quite an acquired taste too, she divides opinion as should probably be expected with a work by Hirst.

This image was captured on 4x5 inch Fuji Acros sheet film.
Cadley Garage is a traditional old garage located just south of Marlborough on the A346, Swindon to Salisbury road, the owner is well known in the classic car world.

The Burnham on Sea Low Lighthouse, there is also a High Lighthouse but this is inland in the middle of a housing estate, this lighthouse is on the beach about 100 meters from the high tide line. When taking this photograph I have used large format RPX 25 4x5 inch sheet film for a long exposure to get that silky smooth feel to the water. It was quite a windy day so you may notice that the top of the lighthouse looks a little soft, difficult to avoid with the equipment I had with me that day, I don't feel it detracts from the overall feel of the photograph.
Burnham on Sea, Low Lighthouse, stands out on the beach at the mercy of everything the weather has to throw at it, this shot was taken on a spring tide when the waves are breaking against the base of the sand dunes. Shot on 4x5 inch sheet Fuji Acros, this was a 20 minute exposure
