Cool – the latest shots from the Kids In Glass Houses gig on 12th November are finally in the Gigs section of my portfolio! What an amazing night of music, and a photo pass meant I could get up really close to grab some fantastic shots. Not all of the…
…well… Speaking of generations – on my latest visit out to the ranch it was incredible to see how much Tristan, Hadley & Richard’s son, has grown – and how comfortable he is around all the guests, workers and (of course) horses at such a young age. He’s got his…
…use your Apple or Android mobile device to view and walk around our large format images in real time – in any setting you choose. From home, to office, to commercial locations – we’ve been scrupulously testing this against “the real thing” for months, and it’s now live across our…
…what all the fuss is about?” While the hike is open to all, access to the landing area for helicopters is restricted – in part, I guess, due to the land owner also being somewhat fed up of the stream of companies now offering “magical experiences” up there in factory-line format. That said,…
With lots of exciting news coming up, I’m delighted to finally be able to announce a new (amazing!) option to my workshop line-up for next year. Working directly with the team at Phase One, not only will I be running a direct workshop on New Zealand’s south island, but in…
…I glad I went? Sure – this time, we were a lot more prepared 😉 As always with a new city, the first time is always an exploration. The cheating and corrupt tour guides, combined with the fact that the Chinese government still seem intent on blocking access to any…
…knew nothing about it at the time! (So, thanks Joey! 🙂 ) Now there are a couple of small issues with the article (as you’ll see from the comments associated with the article): The image they’ve captioned as the Golden Gate Bridge is in fact the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge…
…of landscape, cityscape and commercial images to the assessors. Along with a book of supporting material (and with an exception made for my lack of physical attendance as I’m writing this in Shanghai!) they seemed to like what they saw and confirmed my fellowship in a new category of visual…
…well as a somewhat more finished sound than back in Bournemouth, this was an amazing 2 hours of music to be lucky enough to enjoy. For anyone not familiar with Ed’s style of music – let me just say one thing, a LOT of sound comes from just one guy,…
…that followed. Phew! There’s still 3 days to go – so while I may be quiet on my other social media channels during this week, do keep an eye out – there’s a lot more to come! Just a shame I have to “give the keys back” on Saturday…! 🙂…
…communications and health. Along with over 100 scientific bodies spanning countries all around the world, SPIE organised a photo contest some time ago, and to my surprise during December I was informed that my image – “Over the Rainbow” won. 🙂 “Over The Rainbow” – print available to buy now…
…in touch with a great guy – Wayne Boardman, of 10-Stop Photography, who I’d been in contact with on-and-off on twitter for many months before. The photography community really is made up of genuinely helpful people (yes, there are obviously a few bad eggs, but in general it’s a great…
…amazing really is an understatement, and the difference between what my Phase One camera and iQ280 DB can do compared to any DSLR out there on the market is beyond compare. With this in mind, I started working with the guys at Phase One a few months back to help…
…Middle East) has seen the Golden Gate covering a large building, please be sure to get in touch and show us how it looks! Still to come? Apart from all the commissioned and commercial work I’m already doing, I know there’s at least two other airlines about to publish my…
Well that was a nice surprise – I went to check the forecast and my images popped up in Yahoo!’s new Weather App for the iPhone (and yes, it’s also available for Android…) 🙂 Granted, it wasn’t a complete surprise as I knew they had been “tagged” by the Yahoo!…
…Luckily, the enrolment of a good friend of mine did the trick. I set off in the car, and the messages started coming in as his “negotiating” began at the location I’d found… A HAT?!? Granted, I was keen to get the shot, but there comes a point where it’s…
…that’s right; the judges voted a judge to win. While I’m sure there was a huge amount of professionalism involved in the judging process to make it as fair as possible, I’ve never before known a competition where the judges are entrants themselves… Thanks to everyone for your kind comments…
…competition in association (rather randomly) with Dizzee Rascal – called “Your Britain”. What’s unique about bing is that it displays a different image every day as a background to the search box. So, spurred on by the attraction of a £10,000 prize (along with, of course, the idea of getting…
…(and in my view) more substantial competition: The International Photography Awards 2011. While the UK Landscape competition is strong, when I look at the panel for the IPA it seems that it has somewhat more “clout”: Saatchi & Saatchi, National Geographic, Merrell Publishers, Tate Britain, they’re all in there – ironically,…
Back at the end of March, I decided to shoot some personal projects that I’d been considering for some time. The only problem is, when you shoot a lot in the same studio or same surroundings, you end up with images that can look very similar. To make sure my…
Yeah, I know – it’s been a bit quiet in here of late, so I’m taking the opportunity to give everyone a bit of an update now (yes, on Valentine’s day!). So a quick run-down on what’s been going on perhaps? Well, why not…? 😉 To begin with, I’ve got…
Lensballs, glass ball photography, rabbit-holes – regardless of the name given to this style of photography, it’s seemingly becoming more and more popular with each passing day. As someone who’s more inclined to shoot literal scenes of landscapes and cityscapes, it’s often good to try something completely different, just to…
…walking a mere 250m down ancient steps, the final excitement at being put in the (stairs only) rooftop room of the riad was completely lost on me. Great view; broken Reiffer. For a week, Vic carried all the kit we needed. In between walking-stick rests, we shot – we captured…
…for a few nights before travelling to Mono Lake, Bodie, Yosemite National Park, Lake Tahoe, Napa and San Francisco. Throughout the trip, I’ll be there guiding and assisting you in getting the very best from your camera equipment and the locations we’re visiting. This is a full 12 days of…
