This weekend we had an interesting day out at Mote Park in Maidstone shooting at a 10km run that raises money for the RNLI. Town parks aren’t the places I usually think of as venues for cross country running, but it did make a nice change from some of the more inaccessible and remote places we end up shooting events [...]

Well, this weekend’s event was something we haven’t shot before – a duathlon. Now, triathlon events I’ve covered, but not something that is only the running and cycling part. This particular event was organised by Go Beyond Ultra, who run all kinds of off-road running and cycling events. We covered this particular event with two photographers, and shot at several [...]

This weekend we were guests of the Isle of Sheppey Sailing Club for the 53rd annual Round the Isle of Sheppey Race. We’ve never been to this friendly little club in Kent before, and they made us very welcome oat one of the UK most interesting long distance dinghy sailing races. This “Round the Island” race is made fairly unique [...]

This weekend we were at Datchet Water Sailing Club for the first ever Purple Marine Pursuit Race weekend. For those of you who aren’t sailor a pursuit race is one where boats are started at intervals, according to their handicap, with the slowest boats starting quite a while before the quickest. The race has a time limit, not a finish line, and the boat [...]

I’ve been waiting for agreement from the client we worked for on this shoot to publish some images on our blog, and now everything is agreed I can let you all see the photos from the slightly unusual job we had last weekend! We were covering the last day of “Torpids”, the rowing racing that takes place between Oxford college [...]
Without too much introduction, here is my first video blog post. It’s a little, but very useful, tip for Adobe Lightroom users that lets you delete photos from the collection view. Best viewed in HD and full screen, so follow the links to vimeo to get those options.
There are certain topics that seem capable of producing the most horrendous, and sometimes hilarious, arguments or debates between photographers. Equipment, particularly where brand loyalty is a factor, is one of them, as is data backup and workflow. The big one that I seem to be coming across a lot recently is image pricing and licensing. I read a post on [...]
What’s in the file name?
Today I’m just putting a short post up that’s probably mostly of interest to other photographers, either professional or amateur, shooting using DSLR cameras… Ewen Rankin put a post up recently on his PC Pro blog talking about one topic that seems, as he says, to get an awful lot of column inches devoted to it, and that’s whether we (photographers) should be [...]
