As some of you may know I actually have another blog, my work related one, on my work website – Richer Sea Photography. Now, that blog is aimed primarily at my clients, so I don’t generally envisage there being too many things there that professional photographers would want to read, nor too many things here that my clients might be [...]
So, in my last article I said I would post a walk through of a day out in the Snowdonia mountains shooting landscapes. I’ve got five images that were taken on one day, January 2nd 2011, on a trip up Y Gribin, across Glyder Fawr, and back down to the Ogwen valley. There was still a lot of [...]
A few weeks ago I posted on the Richer Sea Photography blog a set of landscape images I’d shot in North Wales over the New Year. Since then a few people who’ve seen the shots have asked me how I go about shooting in locations like that in winter, and what sort of preparation goes into getting the pictures. What [...]
Some of you who shoot video, particularly wedding video, may be aware of WedFilm Academy, a website of video tutorials aimed at wedding videographers which is run by FXFilms and Engage Cinematic. One of the freely available (it’s a a subscription service) tutorial videos there at the moment focusses on how to quickly get video shots with a bride, [...]
The other day I had the thought that here are some very simple and easy techniques I use in my photography and workflow that have an effect out of proportion to the effort involved in them. These are often the things that people only learn by experience or watching someone with experience, so I then had the thought I [...]
As I mentioned I was planning in my last post, I did get to North Wales while there was still some snow around to get some interesting mountain landscapes. The normal process images are up to look at on Richer Sea Photography’s blog, and I’ll be putting some more artwork style versions here later, as well as writing a [...]
Well, after a long holiday from this blog, filled mostly with moving our website onto a new host, including a new work related blog and a whole lot of new work, I’ve finally found time to get back and write! Actually, this brief little post is being motivated by something that popped up on a twitter stream the other day. [...]
This is going to be a quick post, in contrast to my rather mammoth review of our workflow gear. My main motivation for writing this is that I’ve just spent a rather frustrating few days trying to get my head round licensing for copyright music to be used on-line. Now, as I’m sure most people who read this will know, [...]
A look at the equipment we use for on-site workflow when shooting, including a mini review of two ThinkTank products we have just started using, the Urban Disguise 35 and the Pixel Sunscreen V2.0.
Anyone who’s looked at my Flickr might have noticed there aren’t very many pictures there, and that’s because I took all the content down and started again a few weeks ago. I’m trying to post a few pictures every week, and gradually build up the content, rather than just upload a few hundred images all at once. Three of the [...]
Well, as my first proper post I thought it appropriate to start with a topic close to my heart, and intimately related to the whole concept behind this blog’s existence To print or not to print… Reading this Washington Post article really brought it home how a large number of people today appear to consider photographs to be pretty transient [...]
Why we love not printing at events
January is generally a relatively quiet time of year for event photographers, and photographers in general, so a lot of us spend a significant portion of this month marketing, and sorting out bookings for the rest of the year. One of the things that always crops up for us while we’re at this is possibly the most asked question in [...]
