This old Ivy creeper was covering an old wall at what remains of Kennall Vale Gunpowder Works in Cornwall.
Kennall Vale represents the best-preserved gunpowder works in south-west Britain. The site is a beautiful place, situated in a small valley which is intersected by many small streams and covered with the remains of old water-mills once used to provide power for the manufacturing...

Wheal Coates Tin Mine II // Mar 10, 2010 // Comments [0]
This second image of Wheal Coates Tin Mine is an HDR comprised of five shots.
I promised a passer by something a little different, for the most photographed mine in Cornwall.
I hope that this shot delivers just that - an image that breaks away from the conventional, stereotypical images that abound on the internet of this mine.
I quite like it!

Admiring the view at Porth Chapel, Cornwall.
A head for heights is required to take in this amazing view of the coastline near Land's End.
I must thank my model for this shot for following my posing directions!

Wheal Coates Tin Mine // Mar 05, 2010 // Comments [1]
THis is possibly one of the most photographed tin mines in Cornwall. It lies south of St Agnes and it has stunning views over the sea.
What you can see here is the remains of the old engine house used to pump water from the mine shafts. One shaft is visible right next to the building with a grate over the top.
The shaft is apparently 600 feet deep. Drop a stone and I count 5...

This is a shot taken from the archives.
Whilst looking for the tanneries in Marrakech - just follow the smell - I saw this character dresses in black against the luminosity of the wall behind.
It was a 'grab' shot. A second later and he had moved on and others had come into the scene, so altering the dynamic of the image.
The moment was gone.
