Following on from a post last week, here’s a full length (10 minute) video where I go through ‘hands’ on use of the NEW Sony A1 and how I lit and photographed a recent surfer portrait on the beach at Saunton Sands at around 12pm on a VERY bright, sunny day…
Sony A1
Sony 85mm f/1.4 G Master
Westcott FJ400 (LINK)
f/1.4 , ISO 50, 1/8000sec in High Speed Sync
Love this Behind the Scenes Capture Mark Baber from Sony grabbed of me yesterday when I was filming Jack (Surfer) running on Saunton Sands beach for part of yesterday’s content with the Sony A7SIII.
The Behind the Scenes looks like something from a Benny Hill comedy sketch but OH MY GOD am I happy with the result!
First time getting some proper use out of my DJI Ronin RS2 Gimbal and I’m blown away with how it smooths out the movement.
Happy Days!
Slow Down. Immerse. Repeat.
In this video I explain how by approaching landscape photography the same way I do my portrait photography, I’m getting WAY BETTER results and adapting to the current restrictions…
Since we all started living with restrictions due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic, I’ve been enjoying getting out and experimenting with other genres of photography as I’m unable to take portraits.
Before this time I guess you could say I was a strict portrait photographer in that, if I wasn’t taking a portrait, then my camera remained in my camera bag. I never felt the urge to try anything else.
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…
It might sound odd to say this but I honestly believe that Covid-19 Restrictions placed upon our daily lives, have actually made me a Better Photographer.
Before March 2019, the only time I would have my camera in my hands was for taking a portrait. As a Portrait Photographer I just wasn’t interested in other genres.
However, this all changed and I explain all in this video.
Hope you like it,
Glyn

Recently I got my hands on the new Sony A1 for a VERY quick photo shoot of a surfer on the beach at Saunton Sands in Devon on a VERY bright day.
Here’s a short video I recorded showing a quick, simple techniques for colour correcting images and removing colour casts.
Blink and you’ll miss it 🙂
