          Black and White Landscape Photography

          I’m going to do a landscape photography post today as I’ve had a few wedding photography posts recently and feel like a change. I was recently asked to supply some large Black and White landscape photos to a client in London. I do have a landscape photography gallery on my site but not all of my work ends up there so I thought I would have a look through some of the archives at some of my favourite landscapes and see if I could do some black and white conversions, and while I was at it I thought I’d do a blog post about it as well!
          The three shots I’m putting up aren’t new unfortunately but the Derwent Pier one is a black and white take on the colour version in the landscape gallery, so I’ll start with that one.

          Landscape Photography on Full Manual Mode

          Hi folks, thought I would do a bit of a more in depth tutorial on my basic setup for landscape photography.  This isn’t really aimed at experienced pros but more enthusiasts interested to know how I get my shots.  All photographers have varying methods and this is by no means the only way to achieve good landscape photographs.  I am a canon shooter and although I don’t plan on getting overly technical please be aware that other camera brands may have different knobs and dials! More stuff after the jump

          No photos to post today so I feel a bit stingy but the weather has been pretty shocking of late, we were a bit spoilt with all the snow and clear blue skies last week! So I thought I’d write a little bit about some of the sources I use for inspiration when I can’t …

          Marketing Material

          Hey folks, not posted for a while, it’s pretty quiet at the moment although I have been accepted to an exhibition in Skipton called art in the pen. It’s an art exhibition in a livestock pen, I think it’s pretty trendy, it was started in 2006 and has been growing pretty steadily, …

          More Beach Photography

          Two more beaches from Harris, these probably count as the same beach but one is a little bit hidden. They aren’t short of white beaches and blue seas up there, unless you go to the east side and then it’s rocks and more rocks, the …

          1 Strobe, Choose your background

          Hi folks, I’ve been playing with my pocket wizards again just experimenting with exposures with one flash off camera and some light coming in from the window. This was quite a quick setup in the living room with no clear backgrounds, I have done a shot to demonstrate what was in …
