It is a beautiful day so today I took the dogs off into a walk into town along with my wide angle lens to get a shot of the harbour – no other reason, other than to take the kids of photo I enjoy looking at – scenery / landscape style images…. Lens: Sigma 10-20mm […]
Today a quick shot with the nifty 50 and a bonfire. It is a moving object so I played around with shutter speed this time. You can see the effect shutter speed this has on the depth of field, as the aperture changes – if you compare between the earlier and later images, the shorter […]
Yesterday I said that I had not really used this lens to take portraits … I admit I am uncomfortable taking photos of people where I have to get the camera in close… anyway this morning I had an unwilling model – my eldest teen was running on the treadmill and could not escape so […]
Every so often I enter various fun competitions online for photography … I never expect to win, but enter on the hope that it will improve my images and help me think more creativity.

Today I was invited to visit and photograph a brand new B&B that is […]

One again this morning I am in Aperture priority mode on my Canon camera and I am going to look at F-stops to help enhance my own understanding. For this morning’s exercise I have manually focused the camera on the satsuma which was balanced on a mirror, and set the ISO to 100 – I […]
Not sure I was going to get a photo today – but took the camera and the nifty 50 with me on the dog walk and with that in mind I thought I would try and photograph something then I can fill the frame with and yet enhance some small detail by using the depth […]
