Landscape Photography Dunnottar Castle Scotland
Ok, its time for this weeks Youtube video, something to hopefully cheer you up on a very wet miserable day! This was my second video shot up in the North East of Scotland. Dunnottar Castle is a magnificent imposing structure on the rocky coastline and was an image taken in Infrared by Simon Marsden in his book "The Journal of a Ghost Hunter". I hope you enjoy my film and digital attempts and if you enjoy the channel and content please subscribe. See you for another one soon!
Photographing Scottish Dippers
Ok, for a photographer family holidays can be quite challenging! You know the sort of thing, you got to a beautiful place packed with wildlife and wonderful landscapes and if you had your way you’d disappear for eight hours at a time into the hills and mountains. It can be difficult to remember this is a family holiday right?
I am often faced with this situation and over the years I have learnt to compromise and still manage to get some photography done as well as keeping everyone else happy. In this video I quickly scout out the area and decide what’s attainable in the time available and head off to shoot dippers. This wonderful little bird only two hundred metres from the cottage. As always please like and subscribe!
Infrared Film Photography
My latest Youtube video is now live. I really had fun making this one. I shoot film, yes after only ever shooting film as a youngster for holiday snaps I take the leap back in time and try to recreate infrared images in the style of the late great Simon Marsden. I am really happy with one images that may show signs that I can actually get to grips with this new/old technique. Take a look at tell me what you think and as always subscribe if you haven't!
Tamron 150-600 G2 A Review NOT a Review!
My latest video is now live on Youtube. This week I make a pathetic attempt to review my Tamron 150-600 G2. Its probably the worst review you will ever see not because I can't talk about the lens but because I honestly find the technical stuff extremely tedious! If you are considering a new lens I think the last point I make in this video is by far the most important so pay attention for that. However, there is perhaps my favourite ever Roe Deer fawn image in here so stay tuned for that! As always like and subscribe!
Photographing Little Owls
My new video is now live on YouTube. This week I show you my setup for photographing little owls as I try to get a shot I have had in my mind for a while. Unfortunately this week it doesn't come off largely due to the fact that I was so late to this site this year due to the Corona virus. I think it's important to show you these failures as there are many of them and some photographers can give the impression they have some sort of special skill that enables them to turn out stunning images at will. As far as I am aware this doesn't exist and it comes down to loads of hard work and research with just a little bit of luck thrown in! Anyway I hope you enjoy the video and you should get something out of it. As always please subscribe if you haven't, it really does help! Until next week👍
