New Zealand must be one of the most beautiful countries in the world with a great variety of scenery. Two galleries of photographs taken in 2014 have been added. Sit back and enjoy the beauty. Watch out for galleries on Scandanavia

One of my images has been featured by Magnum Opus Fine Art in a blog on their website titled 'Top 10 Landscape Photographs'. There are some comments about the photo and my work. I am honoured to be listed alongside Ansel Adams and Joe Cornish.

I will be giving a talk entitled 'Clearing Vision' on 27 March 2013 at Hartford when I will explain how I took the photograph which won the award at the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. I will also compare it with others taken that same day and offer tips and advice on landscape photographry. It is intended to be an interactive session with plenty of opportunity to discuss and will be suitable for photographers and anyone who enjoys being outside and watching the way landscapes can appear in different lighting.
There will be refreshments of homemade cakes followed by a short Christian message given by George Crowder.

As a one off on the night all the exhibited images were also projected onto the outside of the building. An amazing feeling to see your image and name! in lights over London.




The exhibition runs until January 12 and is well worth seeing. It's even free.

I am delighted to have won an award in the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2012 competition with my photo of Loch Ard in Scotland, winner of the "Living the View" category. This was one of the most popular images in my exhibition "From the Sun's rising...", held earlier this year.

Nearly 1000 people have visited the exhibition and it has received very favourable comments. Visitors have written ....
'Inspirational',
'Seeing the familiar through the eyes of a creative artist lends a dramatic quality to the images'
'Beautiful inspirational photography'
'Stunning Exhibition- thoroughly enjoyed it- you are very talented! Thank you'

Guests particularly liked the compositions and felt they drew the viewer into the scenes. The slideshow of sunrise and sunset sequences was very well received.

UK based photographer Paul Bundle launches his solo exhibition “From the Sun’s Rising...” at Easter as part of the Arts4U events at St John’s, Hartford, Cheshire.

The glory and drama of light through the day and seasons is shown in over 40 images of international and local scenes. Sunrise and sunset sequences show how changing light and conditions create different moods and reveal subtle detail in the landscape.

Paul comments 'To see the sun appearing and lighting the landscape when you may be the only person around makes for very special moments. These give me a greater appreciation of God’s creation and love and it is fitting to share these images when we celebrate God’s Son rising.’

Entrance to the exhibition in the magnificent new church centre is free and all the photographs are for sale. Light refreshments will be available. Paul will be present on most days to talk about his work and approach.

The permanent fine art exhibition ‘Light of the world’ will also available for viewing.
