I spent a week in France last week, on an Ocean Capture workshop, discovering some of the Languedoc region. I arrived a day early and had the opportunity to have a walk around Perpignan, an interesting town. Almost 30 degrees though, the camera didn’t manage to come out until the next day. The workshop was a group … Continue reading
I may have mentioned in a previous post, that I try to take a panorama, wide angle type shot at every new location shoot, as I am currently quite attached to the wide angle views of landscape….bit of an addiction. On my recent trip to North Devon, the opportunity arose to try out a very … Continue reading
Its been a bit of a break between posts, but I have been working hard on image editing and shooting over the last few weeks. I have spent a couple of weekends undertaking courses on printing, editing, colour and black and white and helping me to streamline my own workflow in the process. Last week … Continue reading
I am getting excited now! Since probably end of September last year, I have been working on all of the elements to enable me to put together a portfolio of my very very best current black and white work. I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about shot selection, editing, working out whether the shots … Continue reading
I remember when I did a workshop in Venice, back in 2009, being guided to a Josef Hoflehner photograph of the Eiffel Tower. A very iconic location and subject matter, the photograph was taken from a very unusual perspective, with the tower only featuring in a very small corner, and the rest of the photograph … Continue reading
I have been doing some image selection today, for a new portfolio that I am putting together on travel photography, featuring 2011 travel images from zanzibar, greenland and iceland. It is great looking back over images, as you often see them in a new light after a bit of a break from them. Also, fresh … Continue reading
After a somewhat difficult start, I am now starting to settle down a bit more to life in Dorset. I have taken the opportunity, with the start of the new year, to try and do some shooting in the local area, around weather and other things. After having such a great time with a challenging shoot … Continue reading
A fun post today, because after all, thats what it should be all about…right!. I spent a lovely morning this morning shooting at Poole Quay, well just near it. Mist was on the metcheck for the morning, so I thought it might be a good opportunity to find a lake or a misty water spot, … Continue reading
I spent quite a bit of mental energy last year, trying to decide whether to shoot in colour or black and white. Most of the advice that I got when I posed the question was along the lines of ‘you don’t have to choose’, but I tended to think that I needed to, in order to … Continue reading
I have been working slowly through my work from Zanzibar and Serengeti. It was most definitely a fruitful trip, the more I look the more I see, which doesn’t always happen, so it is very exciting. I am going to leave it for a few weeks now, and come back in the new year for … Continue reading
