Last week I was in the Lake District followed by France. That seems so long ago now that I thought I would share one of the images. This one was captured on the Olympus EM5 and is three shots merged in Lightroom. The light on the day was quite blue and the hills were a … Continue reading Friday Image No. 102

Appealing Nuclear Power
Firstly, my apologies for the blog and video silence over the past week. I decided to take a break with my wife to do some walking in the Lake District and then to visit our Grandson over in France. In fact, I haven’t been back in the UK for more than a few hours and … Continue reading Appealing Nuclear Power

Aperture & Sharpness
At one time I didn’t understand the relationship between aperture & image sharpness. I read many magazine articles and books where Landscape Photographers would commonly say they stopped the lens down to the smallest aperture to ensure the image was sharp from front to back. What I hadn’t realised is that they weren’t discussing image … Continue reading Aperture & Sharpness

This was the first affordable consumer DSLR and cost me around ÂŁ900 with a kit lens. At the time I was shooting 35mm … Continue reading Friday Image No. 100
I Have to Show You This
I find this image very exciting. Now before you think I have lost the plot I need to explain a little about why I’m excited. It’s not the content or the composition, although I do quite like the scene, it’s actually the quality that’s exciting me. Let’s take a closer look at some of the … Continue reading I Have to Show You This
Realistic HDR
If you read my newsletter on Lenscraft you will know that I’m working on a new book about HDR. You might find this odd if you know me well; following a brief fling with HDR back in 2007 I decided I didn’t like the technique and have been quite vocal about it. As a Landscape … Continue reading Realistic HDR
The Future of the Blog and Website
Last week I posted a blog entry with a suggested mission statement and questions. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, I want to be sure that I am meeting the needs and expectations of you my readers. Secondly, it can be a struggle at times finding interesting material to write about. Following publication, the … Continue reading The Future of the Blog and Website
Friday Image No.98 & Thank You
I love being by the sea, especially when its sunset. This image was taken at Cannon Beach in Oregon. The sun had set around 30 minutes earlier and most people had cleared off the beach. There were just a handful of photographers left and the light was well balanced. A sea mist had also started … Continue reading Friday Image No.98 & Thank You
