In the final part of this trilogy of articles on Landscape photography, I want to showcase some the outstanding photographers whose work I follow and enjoy. Before I do, if you missed Part 1 – What is Landscape Photography or Part 2 – What Kit Equipment Do I Need For Landscape Photography you can click…
In this second part of the series on Landscape photography I’m going to go through some kit essentials that you might want to consider.

I want to start back talking about tips and techniques in photography, and I know a lot of you enjoy photographing nature and the world around you . . . so let’s start there . . . This is the first of a 3-part mini-series of blog posts. In this segment I will talk…
I had a plan A three step plan – to get into a pro-level drone like a DJI Phantom or Mavic. The plan was this; Buy a small cheap (£50) done for some fun flying – learn how to fly it, take some video, have a laugh. Convince Mrs C that this was a good…
A busy year for me – I completed my 365 Project XLV which was both a good and bad experience, I crashed out of my Flickr group challenges for the first time since starting them in 2011, I got into Drones and aerial photography in a big way and my 9-5 job got really…
So it’s that festive time of year again and I’m really looking forward to a week off as I’ve not had any time off this year at all – apart from a couple of extra days over the August Bank Holiday. While I’m off I’ll be spending some time writing some new content for this blog…
It’s been ages since I wrote anything on here and one of the reasons why is that I’ve started a new venture; It’s an Amazon Associate website based on drones, drone flying and drone buying. The website is in the final stages of development as I’m adding some content and adjusting the layout but it…
I was recently asked if I’d help out at a family fun day and take photos that could be greenscreened onto an appropriate background.
Another new app that I’ve started playing with is MirrorLab. This is more of an artistic/ creative tool than out-and-out photo processing, as it provides tools to generate a number of artistic effects on images. At a basic level you can add a mirror image of your shot – vertically or horizontally. But that’s just…
Can’t remember how I came across it, but I’ve recently discovered Hypocam – a great new app for creating beautiful black and white images. The free versions comes with a number of free filters and you can buy a couple more sets for a few dollars. Each filter is adjustable once applied; You can modify…
As promised in my last post, this update is about a Photobooth that I set up for my daughter’s 21st Party, which worked really well and everyone had fun with. So what do you need to run the Photobooth? The basic items that you need are obviously a camera plus a remote trigger (so people can operate…
Seems like ages since I last wrote a post on here – it’s been pretty hectic outside of photography and work recently and I’ve not taken much since finishing my 365 Project XLV back in mid-March. But I’m trying to rectify that by reorganising things a bit to help me find time for hobbies. One thing…
Sadly, today we are burying my lovely Nanna. A sweeter, kinder, gentler, lovelier person you could never meet. I took this photo at Nanna and Gramps’ 70th Wedding Anniversary in 2015. The poem below I’ll be reading at the service, amazingly written by someone called Greta which was Nanna’s name. I added the final verse Shine Shine…
Having completed my 365 Project XLV, I breathed a big sigh of relief. Gone is the stress (and some days it was stressful) of finding a half-decent shot every day to keep the project going. Now I’m wondering what to do next. I still have my 117 Pictures in 2017 and 52 Weeks of 2017…
