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.

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.

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

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.

Richmond and Swaledale Through Time

This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Richmond and the villages Swaledale have changed and developed over the last century. Richmond is one of the most scenic towns in Britain; Swaledale is one of the country s most beautiful and inspirational rural areas.

This book paints a picture of Richmond and some of the nearby towns and villages through old images and modern photographs and shows particular parts of the town and dale at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century and how these same places look today in 2010. The magnificent castle, the bustling market place, the Georgian Theatre Royal, the military influence of The Green Howards and nearby Catterick; and Greyfriar’s and Culloden Towers all of these are captured here along with Marrick Priory, The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God at Scorton, and the awe-inspiring Buttertubs Pass. The result is a beautifully illustrated and informative book which shows Richmond & Swaledale Through Time.
