I’ve been using the Fuji X-S10 for about a week now. This isn’t an in-depth review of all the cameras details and features or a technical break down image quality or a comparison with other cameras. Instead, it’s an overview of how the X-S10 compares with the X-T4 and X-T30 for shooting landscapes and video.
Read MoreI love using a wide angle lens for landscape photography, and in this video I look at why they work so well, and some of the characteristics of these kinds of lenses that we need to be aware of.
Read MoreThis is the second video from my trip to Iceland this year. This part was filmed in the some lesser known ice caves in the Highlands, and a shipwreck on the south coast. Like my previous videos I go through the thought process behind some of the images and explain some of the locations.
Read MoreThis is the first video from my trip to Iceland this year. This was filmed in the Highlands, a part of Iceland that's difficult to access in winter. Like my previous videos I go through the thought process behind some of the images and explain some of the locations.
Read MoreWith the lockdown keeping me at home I thought I’d do this year’s video going over what I take with me on a photography trip…not just in my camera bag, but my luggage too. My philosophy is to travel light and try to refine my kit down to just taking what I’m going to need and use, and it’s constantly evolving around film making needs and finding new ways to take less stuff.
Read MoreThis is the second video from my February workshop in the Lofoten Islands. Like my previous videos I go through the thought process behind some of the images and explain some of the locations while we're behind the scenes on the workshop.
Read MoreThis is the first video from my recent Lofoten in Winter workshop. Like my previous videos from the Dolomites is used an iPhone and a DJI Osmo 3 gimbal to record behind the scenes of my recent workshop there, explaining some of the locations and outlining the thought process behind some of the images.
Read MoreThis is the second video from my recent Dolomites in Winter workshop. I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field, and as I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
Read MoreAt this time of year I spend a lot of time travelling and leading workshops, and in the past I've not filmed videos during the workshops, but this year I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field. I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible, so most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
Read MoreIn this video I go over the Lightroom editing techniques I use on my own landscape photography images. The philosophy behind image editing is to enhance the mood already present in the RAW capture by using contrast draw attention to different parts of the image.
Read MoreThe very first lens I bought when I switched to the Fuji system 4 years ago was the XF10-24mm f4 wide angle zoom. After taking it with me on more than 20 trips around the world it's still the lens that I recommend most often to people who ask me which lens they should get for landscapes.
Read MoreAbout a year ago I put out a film about the 7 most important things I've leaned in landscape photography, and in that year I've compiled a list of 6 more tips and pieces of advice that I've find myself giving while leading workshops and put them into a new video.
Read MoreI started using Capture One about 9 months ago and in that time it's slowly replaced Lightroom as my main image editor. Since I’ve used it in some of my workflow videos it’s something that I’ve received a lot go questions about so I’ve decide to put together this overview of Capture One looking at my own experience as a landscape photography and explaining a few tips that I’ve found made the learning curve a little easier, as well as a few tips that I use for post processing my images.
Read MoreEarlier this summer I spent a week or so in Iceland leading a summer workshop there with fellow photographer Andrea Livieri and we had some spectacular conditions. We had a fantastic group of six people, none of whom had visited Iceland before and spent our first evening in Reykjavik getting to know everyone over dinner.
Read MoreWhenever we go anywhere to take landscape images, it's pretty much impossible to avoid expectation. We have certain expectations of what a place will be like and what kind of image we'll shoot, but often these expectations affect our appreciation of a scene and hinder our ability to create images there.
Read MoreThis is a short video going over what I carry in my camera bag on a typical photography trip. My philosophy is to travel light and try to refine my kit down to just taking what I’m going to need and use. Since I made my “Packing for a photography Trip” last year I’ve changed what I carry with my and also changed my backpack, and that video also went into detail about clothing and all the stuff I would pack for a winter trip.
Read MoreWhen I first got interested in landscape photography I started to come across images from Tuscany taken by Charlie Waite and it was always a place I wanted to visit. I made my first photography trip there ten years ago in 2009, returning many times over the years to lead workshops, and it never fails to inspire. This year's workshop took place, as usual, in early May when the hills are lush green and the flowers are in bloom and the changeable spring weather brings dynamic light and a good chance of mist in the mornings.
Read MoreBack in April I spent ten days in the Faroe Islands with my good friend and workshop co-leader Andrea Livieri as we scouted out some locations for our workshop there next year. The Faroes are an incredible place situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean midway between the Shetland Isles and Iceland, they have a little of both culturally, but the landscape is completely unique.
Read MoreI love colourful sunrises and sunsets with beautiful warm golden light illuminating the landscape, but when you’ve dragged yourself out of bed in the dark and up a mountain and the weather doesn’t give you what you want, there’s still the possibility to capture stark moody landscapes.
Read MoreLess than two weeks after returning from Lofoten I was heading out there again for a second workshop. As soon as I landed at Oslo it was immediately apparent that a lot of the snow from earlier in the month had disappeared, and then when I arrived in Lofoten, after a pretty windy final stage of the flight, I was amazed at how different the landscape was
