On our holiday we visited (nay, stayed overnight in) the extremely creepy Chillingham castle in Nortumberland. Even for sceptics like myself, it’s a very scary place.

It’s loomed large on TV’s Most Haunted – have a look for it on You Tube. My pictures show the scratches on the inside of the dungeon door, and a few creepy things around the place. The owner, Sir Humphry Wakefield, has a bat as part of his coat of arms, so naturally has a huge bat weathervane above the place.

Oh and the picture is Chillingham’s Spanish Witch. Eeek

Photography Made Simple has teamed up with veteran motorsports photographer Peter Hall to offer the chance to learn to photograph at some of the UK’s most important motorsports events at Silverstone, Goodwood and Brands Hatch. We are very excited about this – a genuine opportunity to learn from one of the best. More details to follow – if you are keen to attend please email us – places will be limited.

By popular demand we’ve added a two day photography course at Portmeirion on Monday July 27th and Tuesday July 28th. We’ve done this to accommodate some overseas visitors, and we’ve timetabled a DSLR course on the Monday, and a Creative Photography course on the Tuesday. Why not join us for either or both days? Accommodation can be arranged In the village, which as you may know is an amazing place to visit and to stay. The course will include a private tour by Portmeirion’s own Meurig Jones, who knows every photogenic nook and cranny of the village. Be seeing you!
