Hi all and Happy New year.
Apologise for the tittle to this post, but i am climbing the walls to do a shoot and so headed out this afternoon. Not much going on but thought that was kind cool.
Sorry I'm no good at making flamboyant arty titles up like most, there seems to be more thought gone into the title then the image in a lot of cases.
I aim to head up to the lakes at the end of the week if i have not returned to Scotland for my day job.
Hope you are well.

Hi all,
Hope that you are all set and ready for the festive period about to kick in.
If not...... good luck.
Just a quick one today, thought id Share an image of a print i have recently had made for me by the guys over at
I decided on ordering a metal print, to really make this print shine. I am truly speechless, the quality is fantastic. The turn around from order to your front door is also really impressive.
I was never a fan of the metal prints, but maybe it is just i have never seen the right image displayed. A landscape or a high saturated image really shines and looks impressive, a blurred HDR picture from your iPhone of your dog or selective colour will not benefit being printed on metal, never.....
This is Loxley's largest metal print size, 60x40 inch. I sent them an image with a size of 30x20 and they managed to double the size perfectly.
This is not a cheap print though, but i feel it is worth every penny. You certainly pay for quality.
This photo of me stood with it does it no justice what so ever...
Something you really have to see in person!
I had made some framed prints for clients and am very impressed.
We will certainly be sticking with Loxley Colour now for all our professional prints.
Have a great festive holiday and hope to see you in the new year.

Hi,
Today is just a quick post, but wanted to try and show the importance of using a circular polarising filter. Here you can see from a shot of London from the View at the Shard, i had to shoot through a window.
This image you can see the reflections in the glass from inside of the building.
By using a polarising filter, it is not perfect, but seriously cuts out the reflections and so saves you much more time having to edit less.
Like always if you have any questions please feel free to post in the comments.
Hope that you enjoy the rest of your Sunday...
The above image would not have been able to been created so clean without a polarising filter.

Thanks
With recently purchasing some
i wanted to get out and have a play.
My mate Phil and i, headed out to London, i wanted try a show movement of people, and rush hour in London is ideal as its full of hustle and bustle.
These images were shot at f16 with a 5 second shutter delay. Using ND filters they help you to achieve the long shutter speeds required for a shot like this.
I used a .09 ND filter for these images but i do also own the Lee 10 stop Big stopper. Which is an amazing filter used to achieve really really slow shutter speeds.
Many thanks
Lee
I have recently purchased the ThinkTank Retrospective 30 shoulder camera bag and im very impressed.
So i thought that i would share my thoughts.
As any photographer will tell you once you have a camera bag the buying will never stop.
I have numerous bags now... obviously for different jobs and not for collectomaniac reasons
With the recent purchase of a couple of larger zoom lenses, i was after a larger shoulder bag.
Im a BIG fan of Think Tank, their products are bomb proof and look great.
I am a big fan of bags that do not shout out, that this is a camera bag full of expensive kit, and so the subtle styling of the Retrospective range is right up my street. There isn't even a large Think Tank label.
This is a nice feature, The large opening flap is velcro fastened. There is an option to cover the velcro to silence you opening the bag. This will be great at weddings and other events where you are trying to remain inconspicuous.
Large space, with moveable inserts allowing you to customise for your equipment.
Stylish, inconspicuous design.
Large enough even for your 70-200mm lens, The Retrospective 30 can fit some telephoto zoom lenses attached to a DSLR, facing sideways in the bag..
The Retrospective series is comprised of four shoulder bags and two lens changer bags. Created for the professional photographer that wants to blend in with the crowd and remain inconspicuous in any situation. Our product designers have blended the look and feel of "old-school" camera bags and infused it with "new-school" features and technology for the digital imaging age.
