Slow Shutter Speed at Hartland Quay, Devon

Slow Shutter Speed at Hartland Quay, Devon

It’s been a few months now since I started out on my (long overdue) Landscape Photography Project with a view to trying something new whilst we’re living with restrictions because of the pandemic, and also just, well, wanting to see how I could improve.

I’ve mentioned in some of my more recent videos about how much I’m enjoying it and that when restrictions do eventually get lifted, I will 100% be continuing.. It’s totally different to my usual portrait photography but also similar in so many ways, but I love the escapism it brings and how it’s making me see more of the outdoors and immerse myself in my surroundings.

Landscapes, Seascapes and Woodland is not only proving to be a heck of a lot of fun and a great way to keep the tools in my hand and keep…

COVID Restrictions made me a Better Photographer

It might sound odd to say this, but I honestly believe the Covid-19 restrictions placed on our daily lives have made me a better photographer. Before then, the only time I'd have a camera in my hands was to take a portrait; as a portrait photographer, I just wasn't interested in other genres. The restrictions forced me to try other types of photography, and that has 100% made me a better photographer. Here I explain how that all changed and why I believe it so strongly.

Sony A1 Best! 5 Minute Test and I'm SOLD!

I got my hands on the Sony A1 for a very quick photo shoot of a surfer on the beach at Saunton Sands in Devon, on a very bright day. I had just five minutes with the camera, and in that short time it won me over. This video shows that five-minute test on the beach and why I came away completely sold on it.
