On the beach with my son

Heading onto the beach in Bamburgh

Heading onto the beach at Bamburgh with the X100F — a photograph of movement and direction rather than a formal portrait. Beach light in Northumberland is wide and even; shooting into the light at this angle silhouettes the figure against the sand and sea, and monochrome holds the tonal range from the bright sky to the foreground shadow without compromise. See the Northumbrian Summer series on IJM Photography.

Still in Hepple

Sometimes you just have to slow down

Sometimes you just have to slow down — a landscape moment with the X100F in Hepple, Northumberland. Monochrome landscape is as much about what you leave out as what you include: the colour of the heather, the orange of the bracken, stripped away to leave the structure of the land itself.
