If you’ve been following how I’ve been getting on with my Portrait Photographer tackles Landscape Photography, you’ll likely have heard me mention how slowing down, relaxing and just enjoying the surroundings, very quickly started to produce results I was happy with.
Well, that was certainly the case a few weeks ago when I happened to drop into Lynmouth, North Devon for a pit stop when on the way to elsewhere.
Long story short, but I parked up and popped to what is without doubt one of the best
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…
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.
A few days ago I headed back to Hartland Quay in North Devon
Over the moon seeing the design for the front and rear cover yesterday of my latest (4th) book, The Photoshop Layers and Selections Workshop, published by Rocky Nook. (publish date of August 2021)
Designed by my mate Dave Clayton, there’s also some images to be added on the back cover and he’ll no doubt be adding his usual magic finishing touches, but even seeing it as it is now I’m so incredibly happy with it!
VERY happy too that the one and only Dave Cross has writtten the foreword. Without Dave being out there sharing his knowledge when I first started out, I very much doubt that I’d be doing what I’m doing today!
Getting so close to finishing the writing now (full steam ahead this week) and getting it all over to Rocky Nook publishers
Oh, and it’s available for pre-order on Amazon too 🙂
Cheers

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
