Road Trip Going nowhere - SOLOMANGO

Craig Howarth Fine Art Photogarpher - USA - UK - FRANCE

Great piece written about my american travel images:

"There’s a melancholy nostalgia about this series of photographs that harks back to more optimistic days; Photographer Craig Howarth’s focus on fading icons and logos reminds us of a sunnier time when the US’ love affair with the motor car was at its height, when the open road beckoned and when Elvis would be the soundtrack to our top down road trip. "

Thanks Solomango... CRAIG

Snow Hut Morzine, Fine Art Landscape Photographer Craig Howarth

This Snow Hut in Morzine was taken just after a very heavy snow storm in December 2012. Snow shoes on and a walk in temperatures of -14 was very bracing but when you get to see the sunrise it is always worth it...

Brecon Beacons Pictures

Raw Black and White files ready for editing, will shoot for another couple of days and get back to editing when the bad weather comes!!!

Taking Brecon Beacons Pictures...

So far on my Brecon Beacons National Park project I have been concentrating on the waterfalls. At this time of year the trees are just starting to shed the leaves making for very mystical scenes. We have come across some amazing sights already this season, very inspiring times.

I love being a Fine Art Landscape photographer when I have adventures like I have had so far over the last couple of days, clambering up the side of a 30 foot waterall for an awesome shot, nearly loosing my camera bag down a gorge as I only had a couple of feet to work with and the smile on my face standing behind Sgwd yr Eira was truly amazing!!! Really looking forward to photographing the national park right the way through this Autumn and Winter - Dartmoor National Park next week though...

Black and White Photographer of the year

One of the images above is titled Gloss, which was captured last Autumn at the Brecon Beacons National Park in heavy rain. I'm hoping that I will be presented with simular conditions this week while working in the park again, we have amber flood warnings at the moment so hoping to have very full rivers and powerful waterfalls this week. Which will make for more stunning images, to see the image Gloss larger please click here.

Alps in Autumn - Morzine - Pointe de Ressachaux

Alps in Autumn, Black and White Landscape Photographer Craig Howarth

Alps in Autumn - The Alps in Autumn are just stunning, the colours the textures the lighting are all truly inspiring for any Black and White Landscape Photographer. This image was taken on a day hike in Morzine where we climbed to the summit of Pointe de Ressachaux that looks back on Morzine, a hard climb but truly worth it.

When you are out this autumn, look not only for the great views but also the different textures this seasons brings, with the leaves falling to the ground and remember the harsh frosts can bring pieces of stunning bark off the trees, providing excellent opportunities for abstract photographs.
