Transatlantic Talk at Knaresborough Camera Club

I’ll be doing my Transatlantic illustrated talk, covering landscapes from both sides of the Atlantic,  at Knaresborough Camera Club this Wednesday.

North Window and Turret Arch, Arches National Park, Utah, USA

The talk includes images from my many trips to the American south west and  a journey through Patagonia interspersed with European landscapes from Iceland to Finland and work from nearer home in England, particularly Yorkshire.  Taken over more than a decade from the mid 90s this is mainly a film-based set of images (from medium and large format cameras) but covers my move to digital capture for landscape in 2005.

Knaresborough Camera Club, Park Grove Methodist Church, Knaresborough, 15 February 2012 at 7:45pm.  The talk is open to non-members (attendance fee of £2).

An image of the Yorkshire Dales by Mark Sunderland has again been chosen to help promote this year’s Robert Brown Memorial Concert.

Summer in Wharefdale

Summer in Wharfedale taken near Kettlewell in Upper Wharfedale has been used in promotional literature and on the concert website.  The charity gala concert in aid of Pancreatic Cancer UK features Mozart’s Requiem and takes place at the Cadogan Hall in London on 24th May.  An auction in aid of the charity will be held during the evening.

Chocolate: The British Chocolate Industry

Chocolate: The British Chocolate Industry is a new book from Shire Publishing by Paul Chrystal and Joe Dickinson including photography by Mark Sunderland.

Chocolate

This book charts the history of chocolate manufacture, marketing and consumption in Britain from its origins in the eighteenth century. It then describes the golden age from 1900 to the 1970s and the subsequent US and Swiss invasions, spearheaded by brands such as Mars, Toblerone and Nestlé’s Milky Bar, including the takeovers by Nestle and Kraft.

Photographs by Mark include images of Joe Dickinson’s amazing collection of Rowntree’s memorabilia, and Mark did most of the still life and copy photography for the book.

Spring Workshops and Gift Vouchers

Two new spring workshops have just been added to the Natural Light Photography Workshops schedule and to make the most of the 2012 dates gift vouchers are now available from £20 up to a full workshop!

Wild Garlic in Strid Wood

The 2012 schedule so far includes Malham on 19th May, taking in spring foliage and wild garlic in the woods leading up to Janet’s Foss as well as the popular Gordale Scar and Malham Cove locations.  Fresh spring leaves and wild garlic flowers will also form the backdrop to the Bolton Abbey workshop on 26th May.

The new Gift Vouchers and Shop page on the Natural Light website includes £20, £60, £115 (day workshop) and £145 (day workshop and post-processing) vouchers along with books, calendars and cards from Mark Sunderland and Sam Oakes.

Finally, if you can’t wait till spring, there are still spaces available on the Natural Light autumn workshops at Bolton Abbey (midweek and weekend) and Aysgarth.

I have added two further designs to the new range of greetings cards with Artist Publishers including (by popular demand!) Fire Buckets and Cliff Tramway Kiosk which featured in my previous handmade card range.

Fire Buckets

The cards are priced at £2.50 each and are available now from the Artist Publishers website. The cards measure 172x125mm (approx 7x5in) also benefit from FSC accreditation and bar coding.

Artist Publishers Greetings Cards

I have launched a new range of landscape photography greetings cards via Artist Publishers, starting with four additional Yorkshire designs which I had been planning to add to my Yorkshire Seasons lithographic range for a while.

Artist Publishers Cards

The cards measure 172x125mm (approx 7x5in) also benefit from FSC accreditation and bar coding.  The retail price is £2.50.  This new format will allow me to add new designs more quickly and will eventually replace the Yorkshire Seasons range.

Knaresborough feva Mini-Workshop

I’m running a short taster landscape photography workshop for Natural Light Photography Workshops as part of the feva festival in Knaresborough this year, including an informal talk and practical tuition on a short walk to the castle and river.

Boat Number 62, River Nidd

We will start with a talk on subject selection, how to make the most out of lighting and composition, followed by a short walk to Knaresborough’s famous castle and riverside with detailed tuition on exposure along the way. The workshop is ideally suited to digital SLR users but any camera that offers full manual control over exposure will be fine. If you have a tripod then bring that along!

Maximum 5 participants, £35 per person

Tuesday 16th August 2011, 2-6pm

Call 01423 550138 for more details and to book, or get in touch via the website.

New Website Launched!

The new version of the Mark Sunderland Photography website has now launched at www.marksunderland.com!

Chalk Cliffs at Sunset

The new site has a completely re-designed portfolio section including a Recent Work folder so you can easily keep up to date with the latest images added to the site.  There are also some previously unseen images in the Wild Places and American West galleries.  In Wild Places,   San Valentin, Sunrise follows on from San Valentin showing the dramatic change in light as the sun comes over the horizon illuminating the peaks of the southern Andes alongside Lago General Carrera in Chile. In the American West gallery, an old 5×4 shot of The Mittens in Monument Valley before dawn has been added, and to close out this gallery The Mittens at Sunset shows this iconic formation at the other end of the day.

Also added to the site is a brand new Articles section which includes an interview and some travel and photography technique features – more articles will be added from time to time so keep checking back to the new marksunderland.com!
