Hugo Poon
Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.

John Leech
John Leech is an extremely talented graphic designer and photographer living and working in the beautiful and dramatic English Lake District. He has been so encouraging and influential in the development of my photography that it's difficult to know how to thank him enough.

Your wideangle pictures are really beautiful. How do you find all those shipwrecks? :-)

@Shun: Thanks Shun, the north west coast of the UK near where I live and where I grew up is absolutely littered with abandoned and wrecked ships, both modern and old....here's a Wiki link to just the larger wrecks in the Blackpool beach area which is only a small stretch of coast:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackpool_shipwrecks

Part of the reason for this is that the prevailing wind is from the west here and if a ship gets into trouble it's usually during a bad storm with strong onshore winds. That's what happened to this modern container ship recently at Blackpool: http://ianbramham.aminus3.com/image/2008-03-08.html

Very nice wide landscape, Ian as usual. You really mastered those. I think I like this one better the Saltmarsh from the other day. Even though the contrast and lighting in the other one is more effective, overall composition of this one is more pleasing in my opinion.
