Things to look forward to in 2007 |
| A tour to the West Coast of Ireland and the Burren. Another trip to Menorca. Possible trip to Royal Deeside, Scotland, long weekends to the Lakes, the Lleyn Peninsula and last but not least the marriage of his son Paul, to Becky in August. |
October 2006 |
| A quick winter sun staying on the island of Menorca. Ken got some great images on his first ever trip to this biosphere island. |
End of May 2006 |
| Off again to the Outer Hebrides. This trip has been on the back burner for a long time. Ken achieved some great nature images and landscapes and has just written an article for the Practical motor home which he hopes will be published in 2007. |
Early May 2006 |
| Off in the motor home wild camping with his friend Robert. The highlight of the week was a trip to Fingals Cave and Lunga for the Puffins. Ken has just had his first article on Mull for the Practical Motorhome published in the December issue. |
January 2006 |
| In January Ken captured an image of the Liverpool waterfront that he has been after for many years. It inspired him so much that he went on to do a whole new collection of images of Liverpool, which took him 7 months to achieve. |
Things to Look Forward to in 2006 |
Ken hopes to go back to Wild shots early next
year. Always great people to work with, Peter and Mark. Possibly
a trip to Mull and the Outer Hebridean Islands in his new motor
home. Spring, he hopes to go back with landscape photographer Robert
Devenish, to the Vanoise National Nature Reserve in the French Alps
for Alpine snow pictures and fauna and flora. |
December 2005 |
| December saw Ken and Eileen purchasing a new motor
home. This will allow Ken to be more flexible when looking for new
photo opportunities and also help to keep costs to a minimum. |
November 2005 |
| November, off to Spain again for a short break
in the enigmatic city of Barcelona. Lots of illustrative shots for
magazine articles and stock photography. Penciled in again for next
year. |
October 2005 |
| October saw Ken off on his annual autumn color
trip to the Lakes again in his 4X4 and caravan. Lots of pictorial
images this time with the light changing all the time, well worth
the time spent there. |
June 2005 |
| June saw Ken's beautiful daughter, Allyson,
married in Pathos, Cyprus. Ken may have lost his daughter to Craig
Pryce, but he gained a fly fishing friend for life. We are so proud
of them both. |
May 2005 |
May saw Ken off to the Alpujarra, Andalusia, Spain.
Ken stayed in a traditional Moorish farmhouse, at 3500 feet, surrounded
by almond groves as far as the eye could see. He found this large
area full of illustrative images, which will be used to illustrate
an article for the Spanish Magazine, Alamy etc.
End of May saw him off again to the Lake District, some nice landscapes
achieved on this trip. |
2005 |
| Ken was given a commission to photograph his local
village, Port Sunlight, for The Lady Lever Art Gallery. He got some
great commercial images which have been used since for cards and calendars. |
November 2004 |

October 2004 |
| This year, for the first time, images are being
supplied to www.alamy.com
photographic library as well as www.images-of-france.com. |
September 2004 |
| New location in Cheshire photographing fallow deer
rutting - a fascinating thing to see, let alone photographing these
enigmatic mammals. |
July 2004 |
| Off in the caravan to Looe, Cornwall to do some
stock photography for Alamy.
The Eden Project was a great photographic opportunity and some of
the fishing villages such as Fowey and Mevagissey were great for stock
pictures. |
May 2004 |
| Off again - "its' tough" - to the Queyras
Regional Park in France. Lots of snow pictures and floral images,
with a helping of pictorial landscapes for good measure. |
December 2003 |
| Off to Paris to shoot Paris at Christmas for Images
Of France. It was cold but gorgeous lighting prevailed on this
trip - a great photographic opportunity. I will return. |
October 2003 |
| October found Kenneth off to the Highlands care
of Virgin Trains to Kingussie, Scotland, to work with Mark Hamblin
and Pete Cairns on British Owls, in controlled conditions. This turned
out to be an excellent photographic shoot. Kenneth has pencilled in
a return trip in the spring of 2004 to do British raptors. |
July 2003 |
The highlight of his photographic year was the
grand tour of the Mercantour National Park, in the South of France.
Days of wall to wall nature photography.
On Kenneth's wish list was to capture a shot of an ibex. This was
achieved in the valley of the Madonna de Fenestre. This year he was
also shooting for images-of-france.com, a photographic library in
London. All the photographic work was of a reportage style and all
images were taken with the D30 digital camera. If you want to see
the images go to the home page - click on Kenneth Edward Lewis at
images-of-france.com. |
March 2003 |
| March and April this year saw Kenneth working in
one of his favourite locations, Landican Cemetery, just 10 minutes
from his home. Lots of new hare pictures, but none boxing this year. |
January 2003 |
| The New Year and winter is a good time to photograph
at Formby, owned by the National Trust. The squirrels at this time
of year are in winter coats and with long ear tufts make a lovely
subject to photograph. This year was no exception. |
November 2002 |
| Kenneth was working on obtaining more fungi images
at Ainsdale, the English Nature Reserve, always a good place in the
autumn for fungi. |
October 2002 |
| September and October: the Tour to the West coast
of Scotland was a great success, using Sheild Bridge as a base with
a number sorties on to Skye. Red Stags, Common seals, Lots of Gray
Herons and shore birds, plus some stunning Landscapes. The British
weather let us down again but that's just normal. 'I could live there',
said Ken. |
July 2002 |
| Kenneth is preoccupied arranging a 4x4 and caravan
for a tour of the Scottish Highlands in September - British weather
is a pain. |
June 2002 |
| Off again (life is difficult!). This time on a
tour of the French National Parks, starting with the Ecrins and several
others with Landscape Photographer Robert Devenish (our guide for
the two weeks). Lots of flora and some fauna and with great landscape
as a bonus. Kenneth's lack of altitude fitness was put to the test
(and failed!). It was also very hot and sunny... a return journey
is pencilled in for 2003 |
May 2002 |
| Kenneth left for a two week tour of Lesvos, resulting
in some superb images of Bee-eaters displaying on territory, also
a great shot of a Great Reed Warbler singing also on territory. Lesvos
is a wonderful island and the native people are very welcoming. |
April 2002 |
| Spring saw Kenneth Edward Lewis working on the
River Conway at a nest site of Dippers and Gray Wagtails. The shoot
produced a nice picture of a Dipper with larva in it's beak. It was
a difficult shoot because of the low lighting, and use of flash was
unsuitable. |
