          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

          Photography Tutorial – Off Camera Flash

          Finished shot edited in a retro style Off Camera Flash Tutorial

          Hi folks, thought I would post a Photography tutorial about using off camera flash, I have got a wedding photography post to do but have been meaning to do this for a while so thought I would get to it. My models for this tutorial were the two Danbos (Big Dan and Little Dan), they are a photogenic couple, not overly talkative but Consummate professionals, they get the job done. This is the finished shot but I’ll post some setup shots and how I got to the finished article, after the jump.

          Yamaha XVS 1300 Midnight Star

          Motorbike Photography

          I had quite a few shoots over the weekend so I unwound a little by taking some photos, strange I know! I’ve noticed from some of my web traffic that the motorbike photography gets quite a lot of visitors, not surprisingly looking for the Yamaha XVS 1300 midnight star, it would be handy if they were getting married but I suspect they see the photo and are drawn in expecting a top notch review of the bike and are probably a little disappointed when all they get are a few camera techniques. If you are one of these visitors, no review needed, you should just go and get one of these, I love mine!

          Depth of Field

          Another no photo post today I’m afraid, I’ve now forgotten what the sun looks like! I was out doing a bit of remote shooting with the pocket wizards today, I use the PW’s for off camera flash but I’ve recently got a cord that connects the wizards to the shutter release so I can fire …

          Inspiration

          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 …

          Long Exposure Sunset

          I was out taking this at a local water sports lake and I had a couple of points I thought might be useful to remember for this blog but have forgotten them! I think I’ll have to get a ball head for my tripod at some stage, I have a three way …
