Sometimes the power of nature just stops you in your tracks. This is another image from my recent trip to Bolivia. We were crossing a huge dried up salt lake surrounded by mountains when we noticed a storm cell forming. As we drove on the sky became more and more ominous but the storm was … Continue reading Friday Image No. 43

I always promise myself that when I go out on a day's shoot that I will wait for a while before I publish any images. I find that it's this distance from the days shooting that allows you to appreciate which images are the best. That way you avoid being caught up in the emotion … Continue reading Friday image No.042

I did wonder whether to post this shot or not. If you look hard at the image you find it feels cluttered. It isn't a great composition (because there wasn't much to compose). It's also a grab shot. You see I shot this whilst spending ages fighting with the Nikon D800 on a tripod. I … Continue reading Friday image No.041

This is a very quick one. It's a view over the city of La Pas in Bolivia. Click the image to zoom in and it's truly an amazing sight. Have a great weekend everyone.

This week's Friday image was shot on my trip to Wales last week. It was 10:00 in the morning on Saturday and the rain was coming down hard from the dark sky. My friend checked the weather forecast and announced the weather would clear at 11:00 and that we should leave now to be ready … Continue reading Friday image No.039

This week's image was just for a bit of fun and experimentation. Whilst I was in Bolivia I was camped half way up a volcano at around 4,300m. The sky was as clear as anything and the star show amazing. I decided to pop the camera on a tripod, whack on the old fisheye lens … Continue reading Friday image No.038

Here's a recent one from the Nikon D800. After a few trips I finally seem to be working better with the D800 and more of my images are in focus and sharp. I'm shooting with the camera set to 14bit mode rather than the usual 12bit and the colours seem to be responding well during … Continue reading Friday image No.037

Isn't it strange how your taste in photography seems to change. I shot this image just over three years ago. I recall considering this a poor trip at the time as I didn't really come back with any "high octane" dramatic shots. What I did get was quite a lot of nice, tranquil scenes which … Continue reading Friday image No.036

The moors near where I live can be a rather bleak and unforgiving place. It's not really a landscape that attracts photographers and you don't often if ever see images of it in magazines. Despite this I often walk in the area with my camera so on the odd occasion that an image looks even … Continue reading Friday image No.035

Yet another trip from my recent visit to Nantes in France. This time I was walking along the river and spotted these three bird(two cormorants and a heron). They appeared quite tame as this was shot with my 45mm prime - it was the longest lens I had with me at the time. Fortunately it … Continue reading Friday image No.034
