It’s amazing how different November has been in 2011, compared to 2010… I know if it wasn’t for my 365 project and my increased love of photography I wouldn’t even notice the difference this year compared to last year. This year has been so much warmer, in particular this November. This time last year we [...]
Halloween Jump Edition – PLUS Behind the Scenes Video!
If you follow my 100 Jump Photographs Project you’ll very likely have seen my new Halloween Jump Edition! It was such fun to do, carving out those pumpkins and setting it all up, although it was quite a challenge! But that’s exactly what I love about this project. Challenge after challenge…! The Halloween Jumps [...]
Searching for Autumn — The Unassuming Location
For a photographer, I think autumn can be the most wonderful season. It’s warm enough to still go out and not need gloves, but it produces some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The trees change slowly and can be at their best in the 3 months we have of autumn. Whether you photograph [...]
Will Processing Products Improve Me, As a Photographer?
“Will processing products improve me, as a photographer?” It’s a good question to ask, but a little more complicated than a simple “yes” or “no”. In a word, the answer is no. Processing products will not make you a better photographer. However, if you develop your skill with a camera, processing products will enhance your skill. I try [...]
Why wait? Olympic Athletes don’t wait.
The other day somebody asked me a few questions about photography, I had actually blogged about them on my website, so if you want to read them as well, here are the 2 links: - Question: How long did it take you to get past the beginner phase? - How do you pick 1 Photograph of out [...]
How do you pick 1 Photograph out of 100′s of Photographs?
The other day someone asked: How do you pick 1 Photograph out of 100′s of Photographs? Which is something I had to do daily for my 365 Project. This was definitely one of the hardest things about my 365 project. When I had days where I came back with 100′s of photographs, how was I going [...]
Q&A: The Same Photographs
On a general basis I receive some lovely comments (which I appreciate enormously - thank you). However, mixed in with your lovely comments, I sometimes receive some comments about things being “the same”. This has been something I have been meaning to discuss, but have yet to. A close friend of mine promoted me today, so I [...]
Question: How long did it take you to get past the beginner phase?
The other day someone asked me “How long did it take you to get past the beginner phase?” They went onto ask how long I thought it might take them to get as good as me – or at least good enough to get decent photographs. So, I answered their question: 2-3yrs. It took me… 2-3yrs to [...]
Setting a Mood in Your Sun-Flare Photographs
One of the comments I receive regularly is “Your photographs feel so natural and realistic – they don’t look at all posed!” The other day I received this comment again, but combined with a question “do you have any tips for natural portraits?”, so I thought I would share some thoughts and tips. To make it easy to explain, I’ve [...]
My 20 Minute Jump Photoshoot
After completing my 365 Project, I set myself a new challenge… I started my rather daunting 100 Jumps Project, which I felt would push my creativity to its limits to really make each jump individual. In the back of my mind, I also have the challenge of doing a self-portrait jump, so this 100 Jumps [...]
