Spirit of the Place (Research)

Initial Research (Pintrest)

Local Photographer - Simon Norton

Website - "Firm believer that photography services should be accessible to everyone, and not just a luxury afforded by some"

Professional photographer, based in Dukinfield, Tameside

Salford Quays Images - This is an area that I really want to photograph and it is good to see that this photographer has covered this area also. I like the light and the colour.

I really don't like his work with people and models but I wanted to find a local photographer who photographed the same area that I am interested in looking at.

Park Bridge, Ashton-under-Lyne - Went for a little walk in the Medlock Valley to capture some winter landscapes in Tameside

This is not a great picture but it is of Park Bridge and it does capture the spirit of the place.

Landscape Photographer - Adam Burton

This work is beautiful. I really like this shot and the way that the water envelopes the stones. The colour and the curves.

Website - Adam Burton is one of the UK's leading landscape photographers and author of four books. 

Adam favours the rich colours of dawn and dusk when natural light is at its most special. He uses equipment to enable him to capture magical moments authentically at the picture taking stage, rather than relying on computer enhancements afterwards.

Although he now shoots exclusively digitally, his beginnings in film photography engendered a strong desire to record the landscape at its natural best, and nothing more. As a result Adams photography captures authentic and natural moments in time, free from computer manipulation.

This picture is lovely, I really like the yellow hue. I hope one day to be able to take pictures like this photographer.
