The tree

I am always taking photographs, either using my Nikon, Fuji X-A1, Sony a6000 or my mobile phone.
The photo below has been taken with my BlackBerry Passport.

The photo has been edited using the phone's editing software, which I think is just amazing for minor adjustments like colour enhancement, black & white conversion or even toned photos. The photo was taken in colour before editing. Every other week I will post quick tips on editing images on mobile phones.


This photo was taken at Micheldever Wood, near Basingstoke
The photo was converted into black & white, the contrast was increased slightly to darken the shadows and brighten the highlights.


Woods

Sometimes it's best to capture the moment rather than letting it slip by.

Tip of the week

Tip of the week - 12.02.2015

Low Light and Night Photography

Taking photographs in low light conditions can be very exciting and creative. Here are 2 important things to keep in mind: -

1) The time of the day: 
  • Before sunrise (pre-dawn)
  • Sunset
  •  After sunset (twilight & total darkness)

2) Camera settings: use Aperture mode on the camera

F-stop f5
Exposure time 1/90
ISO 100

Portarits on the bridge

I took this photograph on the bridge with flash with a soft box mounted on the stand. The flash was used as a fill and placed it on my left pointing over my shoulder.  I set my camera on manual mode and under exposed the image by 1/ 2 stop in order to enhance the colours in the clouds.

Camera settings:

F4
Exposure 1/500
ISO 100
Flash output: -1/2 stop

Use these settings as a guide, and adjust according to your specific cameras.

Burns Night 2016

The Pink Place is a charity that helps and supports people with cancer. The Pink Place is based in Basingstoke and is run by a team of volunteers in Basingstoke town centre at Taylor's Hair & Beauty. Please see their website for further details and the sessions run by The Pink Place.

I have been the Official Photographer for The Pink Place since 2013 and provide my services for free. The three year journey has just be really incredible, I truly have enjoyed being part of an amazing team of volunteers. Every event has always been different and enjoyable and I always look forward the next event.

My most recent event I photographed is the Burns Night held at Holiday Inn, Basingstoke. Below is a small selection of photos:
