Football photography lessons
24th September 2014
by Mark Hawkins
As my experience of photographing sport and particularly football matches has developed over the last 12 months, a few things have occurred to me 1. While you know you’re likely to encounter a run of bad luck, it still bites. My last two games I have sat behind one goal, with all the action happening […]
Shots of the month – May 2014
2nd June 2014
by Mark Hawkins
May 2014 saw the curtain fall on the football season, with Rochdale celebrating their promotion to League One down in Newport, and Cardiff falling from Premier League grace with a whimper at home to Chelsea. These matches for Andrew Orchard Sports Photography and Wales News Service. There was more than enough rain, puddles and streets, […]

Over the bridge A visit to girlfriend’s sister in a small hamlet on the border between Wiltshire and Hampshire provided some much needed down-time last weekend. Down-time of a sort anyway. There was no pressure to take photographs and there being no pressure is sometimes the best possible inspiration, particularly if you are going somewhere […]

Weird micro inspiration came from coffee residue in a […]

Highland flung
15th December 2013

Another from the travel vaults, this tells of a day during a 2008 road-trip around the mesmerising Western Highlands of Scotland. The well-travelled writer, broadcaster and Monty Python member Michael Palin ranks this as his favourite area of the UK and it’s easy to see why. I badly want to go back. I wind myself […]
