The Wales and West Photography Show 2023

Looking forward to speaking at the "WALES and WEST PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW" at the International Convention Centre Wales on Friday 16th June …

Sponsored by Permajet I’ll be covering everything Printing; well, when I say everything I mean …

β€œAchieving a print that matches what we see on our displays can seem an almost impossible task, so in this presentation Glyn will take you step by step through the entire process from showing how to correctly calibrate your display, the most important settings you need to know in your printing software, paper profiles and paper choice and ultimately leaving you with all you need to know. No more wasted money just Perfect Prints EVERY time!”

This wil be my first time at the show wit this being its 2nd year, and I can’t wait!

Hope to see you there πŸ˜ƒ

My NEW Favourite Phone Holder for my Tripod

Found my new favourite phone holder for mounting on my tripod … the ULANZI ST-27

Not exactly cheap but well worth it. VERY well made ( metal construction ). Slots straight into the ARCA mount on my tripod. Locks phone in place and separate turn knob to lock in vertical or horizontal.

Lately we’ve had few spells of high winds on the coast and I found that although the SmallRig I have been using is pretty stable on the tripod, the support for the phone itself I’ve never trusted 100%

This new holder though is rock steady on the tripod and the hold it has on the phone is VERY secure with a turn of the red metal dial The inner black metal dial you turn to lock the orientation of the phone ( vertical / horizontal )

. The fact that it is so small too is definitely a bonus!

My camera is ALWAYS with me ... thankfully

Now when I say camera, I mean the camera that, because of apps, I can do other things on like email, check the weather, browse websites and all that kind of stuff … you know the one I mean right?

Anyway, thankfully it’s always with me, and thankfully I always keep a tripod in the car, which meant when I popped down to Lyme Regis for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon I didn’t miss the opportunity to take some photographs of a superb incoming tide of crashing waves …

For this image I took. a series of 0.5 second and 1 second exposures using both the Lightroom Camera and ReeXpose, and then blended parts together in Lightroom and Photoshop to end up with a scene that for me best represents what it was like being there, as wave after wave crashed into the rocks.

R.I.P. Sam J Walker

R.I.P. Sam J WAlker

Shocked and Saddened to just this minute learn that Sam made the ultimate decision to escape the extreme sadness in his personal life.

We met a couple of times, both when I was photographing him and had the occasional conversation on messenger; a gentle, warm, kind, friendly guy with a wicked sense of humour.

He will be missed by many!

Damn ... this is so incredibly sad for his family and friends.

I PRINTED a 72" iPhone Photo and you WON'T BELIEVE THE RESULT !!!

Yes you read thar right … a 72” 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 πŸ“±πŸ˜ƒ
