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
Christmas and the New Year are almost on us. But before I shut down for a break, I wanted to share a few snowy photos from the past. There are fewer snowy days than ever now, so I like to make the most of them whenever they happen. I think heading out into the snow … Continue reading Snowy Landscape Photography
Living in the UK, I’m never that far from the coast, and I love a bit of coastal photography. Now for the bad news. I live in the North West of England, which doesn’t have the rugged coastal beauty of somewhere like Cornwall. Despite this, I do have three locations that I return to repeatedly. … Continue reading My Top 3 Coastal Photography Locations
Towards the end of 2020, I headed out to The Roaches in the Peak District. It’s a popular area with climbers and gives excellent views over the Staffordshire countryside. You may recall that 2020 was when the world was in lockdown with COVID. Because of this, I hadn’t been out much with the camera and … Continue reading Mistakenly Shooting JPEGs
You may already know but I recently purchased an Olympus EM5 Mark III camera. So far, I’ve found the camera a joy to use, and I’ve been delighted by the images and colours produced. One disappointing area however has been the High-Resolution mode which I recently suggested was the camera’s weak spot. When used in … Continue reading Olympus EM5 Mark III High Resolution Mode
I’ll soon be making a trip which involves a fair amount of trekking, some of which will be in mountain areas. But as well as trekking, I’ll be shooting regular travel photography and need to be confident in the quality of the photos. Most of the images will be used on the internet, but some … Continue reading Obsessing Over Camera Equipment
