Making Mirrorless Work
Last week, I shared some recent images I’d taken during bad weather on a mountain in the Lake District. As I haven’t been able to get out to do any photography this week either, I thought I would try to process more of the images. This was a worthwhile exercise. I say this because I … Continue reading More Bad Weather Landscape Photography
A few months ago, I was talking with a friend. We both felt that our photography was missing something, and most images had the same feeling: BORING! Part of the problem, we thought, is that we always venture out when the weather is looking good, often shooting during the golden hour. In the past, this … Continue reading When Repetition Creates Poor Landscape Photography
I’ve been thinking for some time that the walls in my office look bare and need some photography. Then, last weekend, I found a couple of A3 and A2 frames down the side of a wardrobe. That’s when I decided to print two images to frame, and my life became hell. I couldn’t remember printing … Continue reading Photo Printing Frustrations
Last week, I didn’t manage to post any photos. That’s because I was away in Cornwall celebrating my 35th Wedding Anniversary. And whilst I was there, I couldn’t resist doing some photography to capture the dramatic Cornish coast. I based myself at the Lands End Hotel for the first part of my trip. Although Lands … Continue reading Photographing the Cornish Coastline
Problems are never quite as simple as we think they are. When we look at a problem, we tend to think in terms of cause and effect. Something has changed, which has caused the problem. Find what changed, and we fix the problem. Except things aren’t like that in the real world. Real world problems … Continue reading My Panasonic G9 Surprise
Last week, I shared a disappointing sunset photo that turned out to be one of the best of the evening. I haven’t had time to get out with the camera this week, so I thought I would look through some old photos instead. That’s where I found this shot. Misty sunrise on Higger Tor, The … Continue reading More Disappointing Photography Saved
Last week, I didn’t manage to post anything as I was away in Italy, where I was doing some snowshoeing. It’s something that I love to do as it can take you into the depths of the countryside in conditions that you otherwise couldn’t walk in. That’s when you find some of the most magical … Continue reading Snowshoe Photography in the Dolomites
This week, the weather has turned decidedly wintery, and I headed up onto the moors for some sunset photography. There was some truly spectacular colour, but I didn’t capture anything more than what I consider to be snapshots. Stand Edge Winter sunset, Saddleworth I’ve therefore continued to spend time editing some of the many images … Continue reading More Landscape Photography In the Peak District
Earlier in the week, I headed to the Peak District for some landscape photography. I love this time of year for photographing the landscape; at least I do when it isn’t raining. But if it’s cold and frosty, the conditions can be excellent. Sometimes, the cold weather will bring a freezing fog, but on other … Continue reading Spectacular Winter Light For Landscape Photography
Happy New Year. I’m not yet back in the swing of things following the Christmas and New Year Break, and I certainly haven’t been able to do any photography. It hasn’t stopped raining here since before Christmas, other than for short spells. I’ve therefore busied myself editing more images from my recent trip to Japan. … Continue reading Landscape Photography Processing
