Cuteness Overload
The cygnets have come earlier than usual here in the New Forest. They are always lovely to see.
It’s always great when you deliver a smile.
I’ve just had a very happy customer pick up this canvas as a present for his dad. Lionel and Phil Handy are local classically trained musicians and I’ve done a number of shoots with them. This photo of Lionel is one which I edited especially for competitions but they liked it too, so Phil thought it would be a great present as a canvas. For me, this kind of photography is the most rewarding. Something that the family will appreciate for years to come.
The company I use do a great job with canvases and acrylics but I also print, mount and frame myself.
If you fancy a photo shoot and canvas for yourself or your family just get in touch. tel. 07920 887909

Every cloud has a silver lining
Just recently I hurt my shoulder and I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of the pain. There’s no point fighting it, so I grabbed my camera and went for an early morning walk and met up with some old friends. There was some lovely morning light in the mist but sadly these guys were stood in the wrong place.

Autumn in The New Forest
Autumn moves south at a speed of around 2 MPH so here in the New Forest it is much later than most people in the country imagine. Although the best colours on acers can be in September and October quite often we don’t see the best colours in beech trees till early November. Photographing the colours of autumn can be tricky too especially on a bright day. Our eyes can see a much greater range of exposures and colours than even the very best modern cameras cope with and if you use them on auto they can easily be fooled into giving you poor exposures. Even when you get the exposure right, shooting in RAW allows you to bring the very best details out in your final image. If you would like to learn more I can help. Click here to take a look.
