Tim Parkin has discovered landscape photography at a late age and is trying his best to make up for lost time. After a year spent with a digital SLR, his 40th birthday was a trip to the Hebrides in a viking long house with David Ward and Richard Childs (two of the best landscape photographers in the UK). The large format obsession that infected him over that week has culminated in a recent exhibit of one of his pictures at the National Theatre as part of the Landscape Photographer of the Year awards. Tim is looking forward to what surprises his third year in photography has in store. If you want to learn more about what makes Tim tick, you can read his blog and also a brief summary career history and path to landcape photographer in the about section.

I've been posting lots of articles and have just created an index of them which you can view here. Landscape Photographer Articles

Images will soon be available for sale directly through the website. In the interim please contact us by phone or email. Alternatively, check the News page or the blog for updates

Tim primarily works in Yorkshire including the dales and some moors but has made a few visits to Glencoe in Scotland and Northumberland. More pictures from the Peak District and Lake District soon.

Excuses, Excuses - But lots of news to come!

Soo - it’s been a seriously long time since I’ve been posting but that doesn’t mean nothing has happened, quite the contrary. I’ll try to keep the updates separate but to summarise, I’ve been finishing a couple of websites and I’ve finally got the Light and Land website live! I’ve also nearly launched Joe Cornish’s new website (last few products being added).  more

Exposure Leeds - A Waffle on Photography

I was asked by Jon Eland (Strawbleu) if I would be interested in giving a presentation on my photography to Exposure Leeds, a community that started as a flickr group I believe but has grown into a general photography society for Yorkshire with members coming from as far as Manchester. I was unsure of how to approach giving a talk and given that I had to fill 2 hours, I figured I could cover quite a bit of ground. Obviously most people would never have heard of large format photography and so an element of this in my talk would probably be a good plan and there were an assortment of other topics I fancied covering too.  more

First Peak District Large Format Course

Working with Dav to put on a beginners large format course was something I was quite excited about and as much as we knew we were hitting a potentially small market, we were hopeful to get at least a few people along. As it turned out, our first course had two people and one more participant who came along on the Saturday afternoon.  more

Landscape Photography Accessories

So, the pain, missed shots, slipped discs and just downright frustration of this winter is just not to be repeated. Our current mode of transport is great for long distance cruising and copes well around town but a 3.0L 230bhp Automatic with big low profile tyres in the snow? Nah! Double Nah! Embarrasing even... *and* it cost me a week in bed as I tried to push it out of Brimham Rocks car park (even before we'd actually parked).  more

Twistleton Scar - Black Hole Sun

Ah - A chance to go out in Yorkshire again so it's back to old haunts. Places like Malham Cove have loads of opportunity but I like the mass of 'ingredients' that the limestone pavement that Ingleton and it's surrounds give (I also like that they don't push you into taking a certain angle or subject). So it's up to Twistleton and a quick walk up to the scar. The weather was windy and cold but invigorating and apart from a brief moment of nearly getting knowcked over as you crest the edge of twistleton, everything was sublime. Sunbeams were scanning across Hawnby and you could see out to Lancaster and Morecombe Bay (digital snap below - fast moving light and a frantic search for foreground meant no LF of this one).  more
