Cathedral
If you find yourself wandering around Salisbury it's inevitable that your going to end up near the Cathedral, which is where I found myself today. Not that I'm a religious person you understand - quite the opposite - but it seemed like a good opportunity to get some people shots...in situations like these keep your eyes open, keep watching for the pictures, they will happen fast and you will only get one chance to get the picture.
In the middle of the Cathedral there is a fountain that allows the water to flow over the rim of the fountain and creates a mirror effect which is good for playing around with reflection shots.
For me, it's more important to get people in my pictures and show how they were interacting with this historic building rather than simply going for pictures of steeples and spires and the like.
Photographing in these places can be a little intimidating at first, especially in the current climate when anyone with a camera is a terrorist or some such bullshit but if you go about your business like you should be there and act professionally then you tend to get left alone - at least in my experience, but I will be sure to post here should I get some hassle off someone next time!

Save our Steel
Thousands of people filled the streets of Redcar in Cleveland on 18 July to join a march to try and fight to safeguard Teeside's steel industry.
Following recent announcements of redundancies at Corus Steel, thousands of people from the area came to show massive support for the 'Save our Steel' March.
The march was supported by men and women who live in the Teeside area and also by many others from towns and cities across the country who also attended to show their support...

Duckrabbit Multimedia
Duckrabbit are a UK based production company who combine the power of still images and audio to produce and showcase thought provoking multimedia pieces. Not only is the use of this work more cost effective than using video, it has a far greater impact.
'Duckrabbit' are photojournalist David White and BBC Radio 4 documentaries producer Benjamin Chesterton. I recently had the opportunity to submit a piece on the veterans from the 65th Commemoration of the D-Day landings in Normandy...

These are exciting times in the world of still image and audio combination and with thought there is scope to produce some great work.

Bowling Club
Well maintained greens, a warm summer evening, the gentle 'clack' of the bowling balls glancing against each other, gentle banter amongst the players and a lively social scene can mean only one thing - Bowling.
