A photographic idea

I’m considering an idea. I occasionally get people asking how I take my images, what kit I use etc.

I’m considering a meet up in The Lakes, probably around Derwentwater with anyone who wants to improve their photography – it would suit those who are at the most basic level.

I’ll show you what kit I use. How I compose my images. I’ll discuss post processing etc.

I’ve not done this before, there will be no fee, quite informal.

Anyone interested?

If possible, bring a camera, (you won’t need a DSLR – any kind of camera will do), and a tripod…

 

 

Commercial Portrait Shoot

I seem to be doing less and less social photography these days and focusing more on the landscapes….

However, I was asked to do some headshots of an ex work collegue recently who is looking to update his profile on Linked-In.

I kept it simple…50mm lens – natural window light…

iPhone Photography

Been in the Lake District for a few days and using the iPhone 4 for taking snaps.

I take the images using ProHDR software…

Then process them a little further using Snapseed…

I then export the images to Instagram – I quite like the output however I fully appreciate they will not be to everyone’s taste – they may look a little ‘overcooked’ however I like the dramatic style !
