Hereβs the recording of a LIVE Stream I did on both YouTube and Facebook recently.
If youβve ever struggled with printing your images, in this LIVE Broadcast I show the simple settings no matter what software you use BUT how different software can produce VERY different results β¦
BIG thanks goes to my friend Stewart Wood for sending over the image used in the LIVE Broadcast.
Changing the Depth of Field (DOF) Before AND After taking a photograph PLUS Masking in Lightroom using Depth Information ... Now THAT is Brilliant!
00:00 - Introduction
00:23 - DOF Before Taking Photograph
01:28 - DOF After Taking Photograph
02:37 - Depth Range Masks in Lightroom
Well quite simply in this video I show WHY and HOW I DO use it in conjunction with Lightroom Classic but for one VERY specific reason β¦
Yes you read thar right β¦ a 72β print of an iPhone photograph!
In this video I not only show ther print but also give you a look at the kit I used along with my favourite iPhone App for creating Long Exposure Photographs.
I also show what I used to upscale the original image more than 4 times, taking up to the final 72 inches!
The future of mobile photography is VERY exciting π±π
Here's a great way to use the Masking Section in Lightroom and / or Camera Raw for adding Realistic Light into your pictures AND how to create an Intelligent Preset to do it on ANY PICTURE with just 1-click
It's all GO!!! ... π
For the first time ever I'm one of the instructors presenting a class for the upcoming iPhone Photography Conference on the 28th and 29th March 2023.
For my class I'm heading somewhere special that I've never been before and will be going through everything I do to capture photographs on location, editing using the mobile workflow and then printing.

On Friday 24th February 2023 Iβm excited to be hosting a Printing Workshop in partnership with Carmarthen Cameras, BenQ and Permajet.
A 2 hour evening at the Carmarthen Cameras, Zion Chapel Store running from 7pm - 9pm, Iβll be taking folks through such topics as β¦
Display Calibration
Colour Space
Printing Software Options
Paper Profiles
Paper / Media Options
β¦ and of course producing some final prints.
An often over-complicated process, Iβll make it not so, and show how an understanding of each part of the process can produce not just great prints, but prints that match what you see on your display again and again.
No more wasted paper, no more wasted ink β¦ just complete confidence that when you press print, you know you will get exactly what you would want / expect.
Tickets are priced at just Β£20 but spaces are limited due to space.
For more information and to grab a ticket, check out the link below.
Hope to see you there,

Lightroom continues to get more and more powerful and yet despite what's possible, the controls and functions are incredibly easy to use once you know how to get the very best out of them.

See you in class π
The misty conditions last Wednesday were nothing short of perfect for some minimalist photography, so I popped out early morning and took the short drive to meet up with my friend Steve Healy down at my favourite of all places, Lyme Regis.
True to the weather apps, the conditions were as predicted; a wonderful misty morning, an incoming tide with the surface of the sea as flat as a sheet of glass, hardly a breeze in the air and looking out across the sea, at times it was almost impossible to see the distant horizon line.
Absolutely Perfect!
I should have sent a memo about dress code π€£
Taking along minimal kit as I did when photographing the Prince of Wales Bridge a couple of weeks back, I stuck with using my iPhone 14 Pro Max, but this time made use of my new JOBY MagSafe Mount ( LINK )
This worked an absolute treat holding my iPhone rock steady and was so incredibly quick and easy to adjust and rotate from portrait orientation to landscape orientation β¦
Long Exposure Photography was definitely order of the day to enhance the calm, relaxing feeling of the light and the mist, and of course smooth out the water surface even more.
Iβve a few long exposure apps installed on my iPhone at the moment that Iβm testing out to see which I prefer, but on this morning I opted again to use EvenLonger β¦
For the image above, I used a 60 second long exposure.
We then moved along to The Cobb, which looked incredible amongst the mist and surrounded by a glass flat high tide β¦
The tide was particularly high this morning, meaning the groin at the far end of The Cobb was much less visible.
In this image and the one above, you can really see how the mist made the horizon barely visible, which when combined with a long exposure worked, I feel, so incredibly well β¦
In each of these images you will have spotted that there were Gulls flying. To include these, once I had taken the long exposure, I then jumped back to the regular camera on my iPhone and waited for the moment when Gulls flew through the frame.
When they did I pressed the shutter a number of times using a Bluetooth Shutter Release which works a treat and only cost Β£3.99 off Amazon ( LINK )
99% of these images I edited in Lightroom Mobile and Photoshop on my iPad, but to add the Gulls I used Photoshop CC on my desktop as I needed to use a filter and (at the moment) that filter isnβt available in the mobile version of Photoshop.
That said though, the process was so incredibly easy editing on my iPad, and then because everything I do syncs automatically with every device I have Lightroom installed, I could then finish off on my desktop without having to export anything or import from memory cards.
Everything I do on any device be it my iPhone, iPad or Desktop, syncs across each other making it instantly available everywhere.
Oh and the text and graphics were added using Adobe Express β¦
So another incredibly relaxing morning out taking photographs with my iPhone.
Minimal kit. No swapping out lenses. No attaching filters. No cables.
All of this for me makes for such a wonderful experience, enabling me to relax and just enjoy being where I am and absorb the sights and sounds.
The experience of taking photographs just doesnβt get better!
