Life with a Camera

Ilkley RFC (and Ruggerpix) Team Training Day

2026-08-08T18:33:42.003+00:00

Ilkley RFC Pre Season Senior training/coaching day Saturday 25^th July in preparation for season 2026 – 2027.

The weather that day was generally overcast, we had prepped our camera equipment the day before to help avoid any last minute panic and had set off early to avoid delays due to traffic holdups. It all worked, we arrived comfortably in time to cover the training session, batteries charged and ready for the action.

It was good to be back and covering the action ready for season 2026-2027, had to stand well back and use the long lens to avoid any personal involvement, didn’t want to get trampled by any of these lads or the clubs robot grass cutter.

Have a look:

We were really getting into our training now, and getting into the flow, camera settings checked and re checked. Now for some more, could we keep up?

A good day, rewarding for all. Looking forward to Ilkley 1st vs Melrose pre season friendly on the 15th August. Camera, action !!!! yes please.

If you miss it we will be posting photographs of all the action on our website - 'RUGGERPIX'

Grassington, a Yorkshire Dales Market Town - Never Fails, Never Disappoints.

2026-08-01T14:58:14.654+00:00

Grassington, one of our favourite destinations is a picturesque market town in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It never fails to provide us with different viewpoints and moods for our photographic safaris in the Dales.

This visit did not disappoint as we strolled in and around the town searching out some more of its hidden corners. The sunshine and blue sky helped to make wonderful compositions with an outstanding display of vibrant colours.

Hope you enjoy this small selection of photographs from the day.

Flotilla Ilkley Summer 7's - 4th July 2026

2026-07-20T16:52:23.483+00:00

It was an action packed day full of exciting rugby at the 'Flotilla' Ilkley Summer 7s. The weather was was not on our side but this did not dampen the enthusiasm for a day of action photography.

Despite the dark, gloomy skies, on the ground we were not disappointed with what followed: so much action and all so well organised! Well done to all volunteers, referees, officials and sponsors. Oh and let's not forget the dedicated players without whom this event would have not been possible. Especially with a record number of teams involved this year.

Now to the photographs. In our excitement we had taken far too many, but managed to edit them down to only 544 which are contained in two albums and are available to view on our website 'Ruggerpix' see the link below.

https://ruggerpix.picfair.com/

Just to give you an idea of what to expect when you visit our website here are a few examples. We hope that they demonstrate what an enjoyable day it was with competitive and entertaining rugby, in the company of friends old and new.

What do you think? Certainly an exciting days rugby. Would you like to see some more? Go on then, have a look at these...

Don't forget there are many more photographs in the two online albums which we produced.

Ilkley vs Manchester - Pre-season Friendly - Home at Stacks Field.

Ilkley vs Manchester - Pre-season Friendly - Home at Stacks Field.
Plus a pre match Surprise.

Finally, we were ready, all prepped, action at last. Ilkley were playing Manchester in a pre season friendly and we were booked to photograph the event.

As usual we arrived at the ground early to secure a parking place, this done it was then a walk into Ilkley for a pre match coffee, cake and our game plan discussion, or so I thought, a very pleasant surprise was in store.

Cecile had arranged for a visit to 'Cafe 39' for Brunch, this was a treat indeed and after a short deliberation we both decided to choose a pulled pork dish from a very appetising and extensive menu. What a great decision, it was absolutely delicious and we managed to clear our plates in time to get back to Stacks Field ready for the game.

‘Hebden’, a small but picturesque Yorkshire Dales village.

2024-04-22T14:55:00.014+00:00

We re-discovered ‘Hebden’, a small but picturesque village in lower Wharfedale, full of character and history when we extended one of our favourite riverside walks: this being a stroll from Burnsall in the Yorkshire Dales. We diverted across the River Wharfe via Hebden Suspension Bridge built by local blacksmith William Bell and opened 1885. It is sometimes referred to locally as the Swing Bridge. I must say I preferred the bridge to the other adventurous option shown in the photograph below - 'the stepping stones'.

We then followed the footpath to Hebden, only half a mile to go and the thought of coffee and cake or perhaps a light lunch in the Old School Tearoom to keep us going and looking forward to a stroll around this historic and photogenic village.

In the opposite direction the Dalesway Footpath from Ilkley to Bowness-on-Windermere route can be entered. Total length of this route is eighty miles, not for the faint hearted or us, save it for another day or two, maybe a week or two!!!

What a delight as we continued upwards approaching the village via Mill Lane and then on to Main Street, admiring quaint cottages with colourful gardens.

The Old Bridge over Hebden Beck (explored after lunch)

St Peter’s Church (formerly a chapel of ease now grade II listed)

St Peters church was built from local stone in 1841.

Photograph of the interior showing the Harrison and Harrison of Durham 'listed' organ.

As we walked a little further along Main Street another of Hebden blacksmiths William Bell's creations came into view. Not quite as imposing as his River Wharfe Suspension Bridge but an equally outstanding creation, a wrought iron 'Kissing Gate' which had been commissioned by the Parish Council in 1905. Details are on the commerative plaque which can be seen on the wall top next to the gate.

The Old School House, closed in 2007

now converted to 'The Old School Tea Room'.

When we reached the Old School House this was certainly a welcome sight in an idylic, beautiful location. We enjoyed a very tasty lunch in a relaxed atmosphere, our table inside next to the window overlooking Hebden Beck.

We will certainly return to Hebden for more exploration and photography. Another visit to 'The Old School Tea Room' for refreshments will definitely be included.

Very gratifying to note The Times Newspaper has selected

'The Old School Tea Room as one of the seven Best Afternoon Teas

in the UK for under £30.00

Well Deserved

Grassington, Coffee and Cake, almost!

2024-03-20T15:19:00.024+00:00

Friday was a free day for us and we had planned on a slow drive up the Yorkshire Dales to Grassington for a short walk, maybe a few photographs then follow with a visit to one of Grassington's many delightful coffee shops for refreshment.

On looking out of the window and seeing the ever darkening sky accompanied by light drizzle we considered our options if the weather was to deteriorate.

Maybe a slightly shorter drive to one of our favourites 'The Riverbank' at Burnsall then a stroll along the banks of the River Wharfe or if the weather really worsened perhaps stop at the Bolton Abbey riverside venue 'Cavendish Pavilion' and hope for a seat by the window to watch for an improvement and lighter skies as we enjoyed coffee and some generously buttered crumpets.

The Cavendish Pavilion, Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales. Delicious coffee and a tasty crumpet with butter and jam.

As we drove up to the top of our local hill 'Cringles' which seperates Airedale from Wharfedale and reached the top we could see bad weather further up the Dale we then considered another of our favourites 'The Ginger Plum' in Addingham but unfortunately as we travelled down the Main Street I could see a sign in the window reading closed.

Decision made, it was to be The Cavendish Pavilion in Bolton Abbey, luckily we had a season ticket for the access and parking.

We managed to secure a window seat and after relaxing for half an hour could see a slight improvement in the weather. It was now or never as we were getting very comfortable, so coats and hats on and out we went committed to our ~~hike, wal~~k, stroll. Looking out of the window again we could see it was still a bit wet out there but it still looked inviting. We were going to see the River Wharfe in all its glory, full flow.

Crossing the footbridge which is part of the 'Dales Way' walk.

Then a left turn following a well maintained and mud free footpath facing into the driving wind and rain.

In a short while we just had to stop to view the turbulent and fast flowing waters of the River Wharfe. Absolutely spectacular! This was a photo opportunity not to be missed but unfortunately the rainfall was now quite heavy and we decided to turn back

This pathway showed great promise of future photographic exploration by the side of the River Wharfe or a change of direction to the mysterious sounding "Valley of Desolation" or maybe further upwards to "Simons Seat" where you can sit, rest and enjoy the spectacular view. Well worth the effort.

Ilkley RFC 1st XV vs Driffield 1st XV, 24th February 2024

2024-02-27T17:15:00.007+00:00

Ilkley 1st XV vs Driffield 1st XV (eventually) - 24th February 2024

Having missed the previous Ilkley RFC home game I was certainly going to make the most of this one which had previously been postponed several times due to bad weather and I did.

The weather was good with a glint of sunshine and we arrived at the ground in plenty of time to get a parking place then stroll into Ilkley for coffee with a delicious slice of cake then a stroll back to the ground to prep the camera equipment ready for an action packed game.

'Dales Road Trip' Dent, Dentdale.

2022-02-17T14:51:00.008+00:00

Dent in Cumbria was our next destination, only a short journey south of Sedbergh.

We had no great hopes for photography to add to our image library as the weather was certainly not on our side: very overcast and cloudy. The windscreen wipers were working overtime on our way which was via a tortuous narrow winding road.

Despite our reservations we were to be very pleasantly surprised and found Dent to be an utterly charming and very photogenic village! regardless of the adverse weather conditions,

Cobbled Street in Dent, Dentdale.

Dent village is full of character and for me the bad weather actually added to its attraction giving lots of opportunity and scope for exploring the versatility of the Apple 12 Pro Max camera under pretty grim conditions.

Parking was no problem and our first attraction was Dent Village Heritage Centre and Museum. Our primary thought being ‘lets find some shelter get out of this awful rain’ but once inside we found it to be extremely interesting with displays and exhibits demonstrating all aspects of the village daily life in times gone by.

Did you know Dentdale was an early 19th century powerhouse of hand knitting? learn all about The Terrible Knitters of Dent plus much more. Certainly well worth a visit and not to be missed, an absolute wealth of local history.

Dent Village Heritage Centre and Museum, Dentdale.

After that we settled for a delicious lunch in the cosy Meadowside Café. What a treat!

Meadowside Cafe Bar, Dent, Dentdale.

Suitably refreshed we continued our exploration of the village finding photo opportunities around every corner, cobbled streets, quaint cottages and in the centre of Dent the historical 12^th century church of St Andrew.

12th Century church of St Andrew, Dent, Dentdale.

All this and more, with the cobbles glistening in the rain and under a grey moody sky, a real test for the Iphone 12 Pro Max camera which it passed with flying colours. (Love the wide lens and the converging verticals it produces)

Since discovering the excellent results produced by the 12 Pro Max I now prefer its lightweight convenience when on a walk and tend to leave what I call the 'Heavy Pro Gear' back at base.

Laning, Dent, Dentdale.

What had started out to be a wet miserable day, actually turned out to be one of the highlights of our ‘Dales Road Trip’ providing a variety of opportunities to show through our lens the charm and character of Dent in Cumbria.

Ilkley RFC vs Moortown RUFC - Patience is rewarded

2022-01-23T19:02:00.007+00:00

It's been some time now since Ilkley RFC last had a home game at Stacks Field (before Christmas)
but my patience was rewarded last Saturday afternoon when Moortown RUFC visited for their 1st team league fixture vs Ilkley.

During the previous week, in eager anticipation of the weekends rugby I had extracted my Canon 7d SLR and an appropriate sport lens, in this case a Sigma 70-200 2.8 and prepped them ready, cards formatted and batteries charged.

We arrived at the venue early, assembled the kit and started to prowl round the touchlines waiting for the teams appearance.

Well worth the wait although a slow start for me as I was initially some distance from the action.

I soon got back into the flow of the game which over the two halves built up into a crescendo, loved it!!

Ilkley had the edge, it appeared a hard fight but they won in the end,

Result: Ilkley RFC 29 pts, Moortown RUFC 22 pts.

Then it was a race back home, downloading, editing and uploading to my website Ruggerpix.

Phew !!!!

'Dales Road Trip' Sedbergh in The Yorkshire Dales National Park.

2022-01-17T18:58:00.005+00:00

After leaving the Ribblehead Viaduct our next destination was Sedbergh which although in Cumbria is part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Driving along the B6255 Blea Moor Road to the hamlet of Appersett then turning left and admiring the stunning scenery along the way, eventually arriving at the market town of Sedbergh in the late afternoon .

We soon located 'The Red Lion' a very cosy traditional style pub which was to be our accommodation for the next two nights.

By the time we had unpacked the weather had worsened and it was coats and hats on then outside to combat the drizzle for a quick stroll and explore around the nearby streets before sitting down to a tasty dinner in one of Sedberghs finest old coaching inns ‘The Dalesman’

Next morning we continued to explore Sedbergh taking my iphone 12 Pro Max camera but now with the addition of a 'small rig stabilizer kit' which gives greater stabilility and grip to the whole unit. Last thing you want when leaning over the bridge trying to get that almost impossible waterfall shot is for the phone to slip out of your grasp and disappear into the murky torrent below!!!

Another extremely useful tool when looking for interesting camera subjects and preliminary investigation prior to your visit is to explore the area with 'Google Street View' which can be found on Google maps.

👉👉👉

The Main Street was quite interesting and several of the specialist craft shops/workshops drew our attention.

On our route we called in at St Andrews Church which is located on Main Street. The church is designated by English Heritage as a Grade 1 listed building and has many interesting features.

Well worth a visit, interesting viewpoints external and internal plus maybe say a prayer or two.

'Dales Road Trip’ Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire, England.

2022-01-01T15:17:00.003+00:00

Several months ago we mapped out our plans for the first of our Yorkshire Dales Road Trips. Stage one was to head up above Settle to the Ribblehead Viaduct.

The Ribblehead Viaduct carries the Settle–Carlisle railway over Batty Moss at Ribblehead, North Yorkshire.

This structure has been photographed by many notable photographers and I was determined to try a few standout shots which I hope you enjoy.

There are many words to describe Ribblehead viaduct, a few that come to mind are – imposing, dramatic, stunning, amazing, impressive, but when seen close up it really comes down to a short intake of breath and WOW!!!

What a feat of planning and engineering! You cannot imagine the blood, sweat and tears that must have gone into its construction. There were many fatalities amongst the railway builders (navvies) through accidents and illness, so many in fact that the local graveyard had to be enlarged.

We set out that morning in cloudy and overcast weather conditions but when we arrived at this monumental construction the clouds had cleared leaving me with ideal conditions for the aspects of photography I had in mind. On this Dales Road Trip I had left my Canon 7D SLR and an assortment of lenses (the heavy gear) at home and intended to use the camera in my Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max which I had been trialling for the last few months and had been particularly impressed with the performance of the wide angle lens, this generally produces converging verticals but I happen to like this effect and it does pack a lot of landscape in.

What a photogenic structure, taking into account the weather, time of day and the many viewpoints available it is inevitable that we will make many return trips to photograph it in its full glory.

Gordon Burton, An Ex Player, Captain and ‘Legend’ of Ilkley Rugby.

2021-12-16T10:34:00.010+00:00

Gordon Burton, Ilkley RUFC (Captain)

After an earlier post regarding the Ilkley RFC Ex Players Lunch I sent a link to contacts I thought may be interested to see the post.

As an afterthought I remembered a good friend from several years ago when we worked at the same Ilkley estate agents and sent him a link as I vaguely remembered he had some connection with rugby (what an understatement!!).

It was a very pleasant surprise when a few days later Nigel replied sending me several photographs and mementos of his dad, Gordon Burton who had been Captain at Ilkley RUFC 1950-51.

I had not expected such a treasure trove of information relating to an ex player, Captain and ‘legend’ of Ilkley rugby.

Cigarette lighter presented to G.Burton (CAPT.) for leading point score. IRUFC 1950-51

134 POINTS

It would seem that Gordon had started quite a sporting legacy from his time at Ilkley RUFC.

Son Nigel played rugby for Ilkley Grammar School and at the Schools Sevens held at IRFC. Later at Ilkley he had trials and played for Yorkshire Colts

Following an injury Nigel stopped playing for a couple of years then moved to Lancashire and played for Fylde Rugby, where Bill Beaumont (England Captain) was his captain with Tony Swift (England) on the right-wing and Nigel on the left-wing.

Following a spell with Preston Grasshoppers then moving to Bristol and subsequently playing for a local combination Club.

By this time with a growing family of 4 children Nigel had qualified as a junior coach and coached at Clifton Rugby Club for 16 Years.

Nigel's sons, daughters and grandchildren all followed in Gordons sporting footsteps and are prominent participants of their chosen sports.

I hope you will take the time to view more photographs and information supplied by Nigel.

Of particular note are the details of Ilkley RUFC Golden Jubilee 1899-1949.

Paris, Pavement Cafe's

2021-12-08T11:09:00.031+00:00

There are many aspects to our photography, one which is to bring out the character of the locations we visit.

Several years ago we visited Paris with one or two photographic projects in mind.

One of the projects for our Image Library was to portray the character and chic of the pavement cafe's of Paris.

I hope you will enjoy our selection and re visit as more photographs are added

It was no easy task as the majority of cafe's we photographed in Paris looked extremely inviting, unfortunately we did not have the time or capacity to sample them all.

A rarity, empty tables. So Inviting.

Busy, busy, busy, people watching.

Staying cool, Front of House or should I say 'un garçon de café'

Parisian Chic

Our camera's were a Canon 7d and 30d with Canon lens EFS 18-200 plus a Sigma 10-20 DC HSM.

All this was carried in our Kata 3N1 30 backpack.

Captions invited, please post in the comments box

Grassington, A Charming Market Town in The Yorkshire Dales

2021-11-30T12:12:00.006+00:00

A Market Town in the Yorkshire Dales Revisited

While having a coffee meeting in our usual location, the Riverbank Café next to the River Wharfe at Burnsall in the Yorkshire Dales we had a last minute change of plan and decided to drive up the Dale to the market town of Grassington for a browse around the independent shops surrounding the market square.

This suited me fine as it would allow me to take additional photographs for our image library.

Grassington Market Place

As I had not anticipated a photoshoot I used my iPhone 12PM camera which I have used on several previous occasions and have been more than impressed with the results especially with the addition of a SmallRig stabilizer kit.

Absolutely love it, great practical combination. Especially like the wide lens and the resulting converging verticals. What do you think?

Grassington Shops

The resulting photographs I have uploaded to ‘Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales’ album which can be found in our image library.

Grassington Folk Museum

You may recognise a few of the locations photographed as Grassington was used as the backdrop for the filming of the recent series of ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ and is known as the fictional village of Darrowby.

Ruggerpix – ‘A Challenging Afternoon’ for both teams and the photographer.

2021-11-22T11:23:00.001+00:00

Ilkley vs Pocklington (North One East) k/o 2.15, 20^th November 2021

The venue: Stacks Field, Ilkley, Yorkshire.

I had made all my preliminary preparations for this assignment on the day before.

My camera – Canon 7D SLR with twin battery pack, all batteries fully charged, a formatted 16gb memory card plus one spare and my Sigma 70-200, F2.8 lens which I find to be most useful for this type of work, finally a Slik monopod to help keep the camera steady.

Checked all camera settings functioning and then laid all out ready to pack into my equipment backpack on the Saturday morning.

On the following morning the weather was dry but a little overcast and felt chilly so made sure I was well wrapped up then finally packed everything away.

We managed to arrive at Stacks Field comfortably well in advance of the 2.15pm k/o which gave me chance to have a walk around the pitch and go through various camera checks.

I usually set the camera shutter speed to 1/1000sec. and the ISO to 400 these generally give good results but it soon became apparent that the overcast cloud rolling down from the Dales and the cool breeze were going to be a challenge to both camera and photographer.

Most of the afternoon was spent constantly adjusting camera settings knowing full well that decreasing the shutter speed could produce image blur and increasing the ISO would produce image noise (grain) but it had to be done to let adequate light into the camera to produce at best an acceptable result to capture the fast action.

More importantly I had to constantly adjust my scarf to produce a warm happy photographer.

The decreasing light levels made action photography quite a challenge and a lot of work was required in my image editing software Adobe Lightroom.

Linton in Craven, a Picturesque Village in The Yorkshire Dales.

2021-11-20T10:24:00.010+00:00

Spent several days in and around the beautiful and very photogenic Yorkshire Dales village of Linton in Craven taking photographs for our image library and researching all the points of interest of which there are many.

I must admit the Fountaine Inn ‘Fish and Chip Friday’ did help determine what days would be best for our photography.

The weather also helped a little as did the very dramatic scenery on the River Wharfe at Linton Falls and the Tin Bridge.

Followed by the calming tranquillity of Linton Parish Church.

Only minutes away from our home in Ilkley we have the beautiful moors on our doorstep and just a short drive away are the coastal towns and villages of Yorkshire.

Northwards takes us to the market town of Skipton and then through the Yorkshire Dales and picturesque villages to Hawes a lively market town also famous for its cheesemaking.

From Hawes, not far away on the banks of the fast flowing River Swale is the North Yorkshire historic town of Richmond with its Norman castle, large cobbled market place and museums.

Yorkshire has many other place of great character and beauty to offer, I hope our photographs which can be viewed from the following link will encourage you to visit.

The photographs may also help find your next

film/video location.

Bradford and Bingley (Bees) vs Ilkley. Rugby Union

2015-03-03T18:43:00.001+00:00

My Photographs from a game of Rugby Union played in West Yorkshire on 28th February 2015

Both these teams are based in West Yorkshire and were playing a local derby league game which created a little more tension than usual.

"Bradford and Bingley vs Ilkley"

The afternoon was wet and dismal but this did not deter the spectators enthusiasm.

For sporting events my camera is a Canon 7d coupled with a Sigma 70-200 2.8 lens all mounted on a Slik monopod.
On the winter cloudy afternoons the camera ISO I usually start at 800 and increase as the afternoon progresses and light is lost. I find the 7d handles high ISO very well.
The images are edited in Adobe Lightroom.

Next Saturday will be Ilkley vs Dinnington which promises to be an action filled game.

Hope you enjoy my photographs from the game by following the link.

Rugby Photography, Ilkley RFC

2013-02-10T12:33:00.002+00:00

During the rugby season I can be found most Saturday afternoons photographing rugby union, usually Ilkley RFC vs their opponents of the day.

Quite a lot of the time I seem to spend these Saturday afternoons in adverse weather conditions and need to be well insulated, boots, big coat, hat, scarf and most essential gloves to keep my fingers warm while operating the camera.

I post these photographs to one of my websites Ruggerpix giving supporters who could not attend the game a chance to view from the comfort of home.
