_IMG2910_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Bit of a lung buster this but the view, the light made it all worth while.

Spain isn't typically the first place that springs to mind when you think about snow....yet these are the best snow scenes I've witnessed outside of the Alps and UK. Arrival at dawn.... _DSC3431_DxO by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr Very First Light on Pico de Pineta _DSC3446_DxO by Stephen...

All Pentax 645z and 28-45 **btw make sure your browser is set to support Adobe 1998 colour space - or these won't look right - I forgot to export in sRGB** These were taken in the high forest path on the way to Ibonet de Batisielles. I had planned to shoot reflections but the light was all...

This has to be one of my favourite places, if not my favourite places to spend an afternoon anywhere. I've not really posted since August - the reason being September's weather was terrible and I spent the Autumn out in the Spanish Pyrenees and this winter processing the lot. I stayed in the...

Whilst Spain isn't everyone's idea of landscape photography Nirvana. Here's some stuff I haven't shared from 2019. It was one of the few hazy evenings of the trip but I rather like how the haze softened everything up. I think if I could just shoot one place for the rest of time this would...

Here are a series of blogs summarising my photography in these amazing mountains back in October 2019. http://www.sftphotography.co.uk/landscape-photography-pyrenees-october-2019-part-1/ http://www.sftphotography.co.uk/landscape-photography-pyrenees-october-2019-part-2/...

These were taken in my third week in the Pyrenees (more shots here - http://www.sftphotography.co.uk/landscape-photography-the-pyrenees-october-2019-part-3/ ) Here are three compositions from this visit. Not the best light but what a spot to be in and see. _DSC5076 by Stephen Taylor, on...

Mega morning this was. Really nice strong light and thick heavy cloud made these views wonderful to shoot. The rock textures and big mountains make this place a feast for the eyes - chuck in some light and nice sky and you have landscape photography heaven. (It was too windy for reflections)...

This was a gorgeous evening out - lovely soft pastel tones in the sky, a tiny bit of haze to soften everything up and some distant hill top snow. The best of the light was looking towards the Puertolas valley rather than up the Gorge. There are so many different shots you can take here. It's...

These were more "passing" through shots on the way to Gavarnie from Spain but despite being midday I couldn't resist a quick stop, a wander with the big zoom lens to see what I could get. _DSC2769 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC2790 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

Posting probably my best and 5th trip to the Ordesa Valley in the Pyrenees. Bit of a lung buster to get here but the views are out of this world worth it in a way that's just not possible back home. On arrival the light was a little harsh but the clouds and atmospherics were top notch. It was a...

These were all taken on the Pic de Tentes trail. 1. We start with the view of Grand Astazou _DSC3013 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 2. Then move onto the Cascade de Gavarnie _DSC3020 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 3. Pic De Marbore _DSC3033 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr 4. A Slightly wider...

These are recently reprocessed from a previous years trip from May 2016 when it really did look like Christmas. This time I paid more careful attention to the highlights in the snow. Hope you enjoy them. First dawn _DSC2477 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr A Bit later in the dawn _DSC2478 by...

It's been a while since I last posted - I spent the Autumn in the Pyrenees and have now got back and pretty much finished the processing. It was an incredible time and I'd like to share some pictures from one of the best evenings there from one of my favourite spots in the area. The afternoon...

Here are some shots from last year I haven't posted. Some are rescued from the cards - reprocessed etc with the benefit of 10 months of having them on my files. Not a reflection in sight which is quite rare for me but this really is a very special location. Anyone interested in landscapes, how...

A few months ago over the darker months I processed some of pictures from the Pyrenees as B&Ws. I was bored and despondent with the foul cold weather and at the time seemed a good idea. I shared them on Flickr then promptly forgot about them. A few months on and I am not so sure...but here...

Good start to the evening _DSC3406 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC3411 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC3415 - Version 2 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr The Final Light was epic _DSC3429 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr

Little more abstract and tighter than the big view shots I normally take but these were the best going at the time. _DSC3775 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr _DSC3256 by Stephen Taylor, on Flickr
