…we travelled around the wilderness of Nevada and California. My iQ280 system would be put up against the latest release – an iQ250 full kit, with two Canon-shooting “students”, Mark and Martyn, learning how to get the most out of this incredible piece of medium format equipment. Now, first thing’s…
So this is the latest publication to feature the shot I took of Horseshoe Bend, AZ, last year – What Digital Camera Magazine. 🙂 This follows press coverage in the Times, the Daily Mail, The Guardian, Metro and many others who over the past month have picked up on the…
…what is broadcast and whether it accurately defines them. I, for one, would say that’s progress…! With all that going on, I also have the latest set of images for Lick’s campaign and we’re shooting again next weekend – all good stuff, but once again, keeping me far too busy for…
OK, so you MAY have noticed the minor make-over of the site… “Minor?!” I hear you say? Well, maybe it’s a little more than a minor change… Don’t worry – all of my portfolio pictures are still there (only now, they’re in a better gallery) plus there’s a few more…
…mean do your best to compose the shot through the viewfinder, take one, and then try to re-compose if needed. Your camera at ISO1600 for 25 seconds is far more sensitive than your eyes, so pointing in the right direction to capture the core over your chosen foreground will give…
…the doors off if you’re comfortable with it; you might just be surprised. Cities are wonderful places to capture – the energy that comes with constant change, always-on neighbourhoods and endless photographic opportunities make them a playground for creativity. As many often quote, “the best camera in the world is…
…pack lighter next time. 😉 But that was it: Time to say goodbye to our home in JingAn. No apartment in Shanghai is ever perfect – in a city where construction happens 24 hours a day and communication is “challenging” at the best of times, even if you do speak…
…finally had time to start playing with some Apps I downloaded a long while ago. While there are much better (and higher resolution) ways of achieving the same thing in Photoshop, the “click-button” ease of these iPhone tools is quite staggering – and it all started with this shot, a…

…loops with on and off ramps in each direction. This wasn’t the first time I’ve been to the top of the building I took this from – the first time was actually when I wrote a piece for “MoneySupermarket.com” on low-priced compact cameras. During June, I took my old Canon…
…camera’s lens, with no colour-cast or distortion of reality. In this case, however, that’s not quite how things need to work… The challenge with light pollution is that it comes from different wavelengths of light. Typically, most of it comes from the yellow-orange sodium lamps what most of our cities…
Head down to the UK newsagents this week – and you’ll find the latest edition of Digital Camera magazine, with a special feature on why I shoot in Medium Format, Frame Averaging (and what it means for consumer level cameras in future), using the Phase One XT in the field,…
…this latest trip to Iceland in the winter… It was actually possible to see the Northern Lights from the plane window, once the sun had disappeared (although impossible to capture them on an iPhone). Extremely strong winds have a habit of transforming soft snow on a car into thick sheets of…
…over 9 years now: San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in the fog. Finally, one random winter’s afternoon, I managed to break that spell – and shoot “Fog City”, my latest limited edition print: “Fog City” – Buy the limited edition print What could possibly be so difficult to capture in…
…from sunrise to sunset and all through the night… This time, I wanted to focus on the skyline – starting the very night we landed, off to Brooklyn we went to capture the latest feature of the Financial District – The Freedom Tower at its famous address: One World Trade Center…
…for 3 months. I was extremely privileged to be asked to shoot the setup and launch of Per Aquum’s latest “Dream Calendar” event, focused on the new concept of an underwater art exhibition – and where better to put such an exhibition than two of the most unique underwater locations…
Within a week of landing in Shanghai, I’d already heard from two people about “The Restaurant”. Owned by acclaimed French chef Paul Pairet and as a sister property to Mr & Mrs Bund, his latest project is known as “Ultraviolet“. The killer? It hosts 10 guests, on 1 table, for only 1…
…image to some, this was one of our early testing images for certain Capture One features, along with the launch of Apple’s latest MacBook Pro systems that we reviewed. The globally recognised competition operates via a two-tier judging system that starts with digital photograph submissions that filter the highest-scoring images…
…overall exposure, getting the best possible capture from the scene before our eyes. Filters come in a huge array of shapes, sizes, materials and brands, but in this guide I’m going to focus on the key filter used by photographers when trying to even out a scene with strong differences in light…
…locations without such obstructions) – but given this was my “last chance saloon”, it was time to make the best of what was on offer. The new Rollei Lion Rock tripod I’d been testing (more on that coming soon…!) rose perfectly to the challenge, and despite the wind coming from…
…the night before (explained below!), while disappointed by the thick layer of cloud to the East on arrival, we were all determined to get the best shot possible given the circumstances. At 5:00am, it genuinely is freezing up there, despite it being the end of May, and the lure of…
…landscape images from London! So there I was, in the cold (compared to Shanghai!) morning air, thankful for jetlag but waiting for a sunrise over Tower Bridge that I felt I deserved through effort alone… Sadly, it didn’t quite happen – that image to the right was the best it…
…also an awesome setting for a truly spectacular Maldivian sunset. And where else can you step out from your villa onto your own sun deck overlooking your private infinity pool, built on a white sandy beaches looking out to some of the best coral reefs in the world? There’s something…
…components to a story, it’s a prominent attribute of a huge percentage of the 100 prints. On that basis, to get a landscape photograph of a road in the show is quite some going…! And secondly, the RPS have been kind enough to actually feature my image twice – once…
