Holding hands on Helvellyn
On the one hand, this image is sickmakingly saccharine, but on the other… the colours are nice and I like the odd composition. It’s me and Ali, at the top of Helvellyn (the third highest mountain in England) this February.
We had to climb along Striding Edge to get there:
Which for a man who doesn’t like sheer drops, was a somewhat eye opening experience. I was crawling across it like Gollum, whilst Ali virtually skipped along. We then had to contend with a 45 degree (or more - bloody steep anyway) slope covered in snow with a cliff behind us to get up to the very top. It’s a miracle I didn’t just crouch down and start rocking to and fro like a mentalist.

Change - neon sign at Loughborough Fair
Mooching around Loughborough fair is an odd experience with camera in hand - you are surrounded by interesting imagery but it can be extremely hard to choose what to take photographs of. The result is normally that I end up with lots of poorly composed images of bright lights and rides that don’t really do anything for me.
I snapped this one in a very offhand way as I was forced down a crowded street in the usual surge of fairgoers - something about the simplicity of it pleased me. After cleaning it up a bit and straightening it I found I really liked the result.
