I’ve accumulated an awful lot of photographs now from the Library of Congress, and while I’ve posted quite a lot over the past 18 months or so on here, I felt it time to do something a little different. To that end, and because wordpress blogs are free, I’ve set up another blog to run…

#360 – Important – thevoicefromthenorth is now blog.mechanicallandscapes.com!!!!
After 7 years online, I seem to have ended up with an inconsistent array of domains and styles, even though the content is largely similar. So with view to becoming more consistent, I’ve decided to rename the blog and change its address. In fact, if you read the blog posts actually on the blog and on…
#348 – new look to the blog!
After having used the ‘Redoable Lite’ wordpress theme since day 1 of the blog in 2008, I felt it was time for a new look, especially as there are a lot more free themes to choose from in 2014. I’ve settled on the ‘Visual’ theme for the moment, I reserve the right to change my…

Reduced Levels of Blog Posting :(
Due to an absurd chain of events that would be laughable if it wasn’t for the vast levels of incompetence exhibited by both Sky and BT Openreach, I have had either no broadband at all or a very limited service for the last month or so. There is unfortunately no end in sight for this epic comedy of…
#228 – Robert Fletchers Paper Mill – Part 2
Employees Handbook para (d) Long Service Benefits It is hoped that your association with the Company will be a long one, and that you will qualify for a Long Service Award. After 42 years’ service, men receive a gold watch, and after 37 years’ service, women receive a silver teapot. Big, bad Beloit from Bolton. The room…
#194 – The Myth Of Manual Mode
A recent discussion on Talk Photography got me thinking about camera technique, something I don’t tend to give much thought to. Someone had asked why they should use manual mode, and the consensus seemed to be, quite refreshingly, use it when you need to, but don’t use it slavishly. Great advice, although some people still…
#186 – Runner Up
Time to blow my own trumpet again – after 5 years of entering, I have finally managed to place in the Brownedge Arts Festival, coming second with my Duke Of Lancaster photo! I also took two commendeds for Tornado and Dinorwic, thus giving a 100% record for my print entries! I’ve not seen the other…
#118 – only post this week!
As my baby daughter has just arrived, my priorities are currently elsewhere, so this will probably be my only post for a week or two. Back soon!! Andy 🙂
#50 – 50th Post
OK, so it’s not that many, but it’s a milestone nonetheless! It’s about 6 months since I moved my blog to this one, and I’ve made more posts in that 6 months than in the previous 18 months, which isn’t bad going when you consider I spent 3 months on secondment with work at the…
