Belfast's Cathedral Quarter: A Cultural Hub
Although the area fell into a state of disrepair in the twentieth century, it has recently re-emerged as a 'cultural quarter' of Belfast because of the recent growth in arts- and culture-based organizations that are located there, including Northern Visions TV, The Safehouse Arts Gallery, Belfast Print Workshop and Belfast's small Zen Meditation community.
The area also boasts a rich literary heritage as The Northern Whig; a popular newspaper that was circulated from 1824 until 1963, was based there. Today, its building has been transformed into a popular pub and restaurant. The Irish News, another well-known newspaper, still has its head office on Donegall Street.

The Cathedral was designed by Sir Thomas Drew and the foundation stone was laid on 6 September 1899 by the Countess of Shaftesbury. It was initially constructed around the old parish church of St Anne until 31 December 1903 when the old church was demolished.
In 1925, the west front of the cathedral was built as a memorial to commemorate the Ulstermen and women who served and died in WWI.
Writer’s Square, which is located directly opposite the Cathedral, celebrates Belfast’s literary past with quotations from famous local writers carved into the stone underfoot.

Tollymore Autumn Ramble | Part 1
A trip down to Tollymore Forest Park at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland.
Other commitments had kept me away from the Forest the previous few weeks when peak Autumn Colour was around, but I thought it was still good to get out for a few days shooting.
You may notice that a few times I talk about a certain scene and then either show something different or move on. In these cases the image that I was hoping for just didn't work, mostly due to the lack of light.
Still, I thought it useful to talk through my thought process in each one, after all these videos are not just about showing the final image, rather my own journey.
Oh and don't mention that I forgot my polariser / didn't forget my polariser ...
Hope you enjoy ...

Is it SAFE to Have Camera Gear Out in The UK???
As a photographer, I never thought I'd ever have to question whether it was safe to have camera out in the UK.
The Photo Trip:
My Camera Gear:
I'm in Scarborough, UK on today's photography vlog. And, while it's super photogenic, I was thrown for a curve when a local man went out of his way to warn me that it probably wasn't safe to have my camera gear out in the part of town I was filming.
So, is it safe to have camera gear out in the UK? Honestly, I do. Of course, nearly every city you go in the world can have areas to avoid. And, you need to be smart. But, I've never had an issue out as a photography in the UK. I've never felt unsafe taking pictures in England, and while I have felt less safe in certain parts of Belfast, and Glasgow, I never actually worried.
But, today on the vlog, before heading out for some sunrise photography, I do explore the idea after being approached with a caution from a local in Scarborough.
