When I posted the my article about creating Eye Catching Composites I got some comments and a lot of emails asking for more details on my post processing technique.

Creating images is a process and, for me, pressing the shutter is only a small part of the journey to an image of sufficient quality to publish. In this article, part 2 to Architecture Photographers on Holiday, I will go through my image workflow. All photography faces the challenge of scenes with

Well, it’s here! Version 7 of onOne’s Perfect Photo Suite has got to be the most anticipated release from onOne in this review we’ll see if it lives up to the hype. One rule I have for reviews is that I won’t review stuff that I don’t use on a regular basis. Well, I&rsq

A photographer that I’ve been admiring the work of for some time now is Russian Born Underwater Photographer Elena Kalis. I first came across her playful (yet mesmerising) Alice in Wonderland series after someone featured it on Google+. Since then I’ve followed Elena on Google+ and

De lumière et de vent means Of light and wind. I discovered the work of fellow photographer Bruno Mercier quite recently and I was quite taken by his high contrast black and white images of a region that I know quite well. Bruno lives in Normandy, France, which is where I grew up and visit o

It’s easy to see Sony is on a winner with its NEX series. Likewise, the fan mail for the SLT DSLR range is growing. Forgive me, but whilst I appreciate the benefits of the SLTs — through the lens optical image, small form factor, entrée to a nice range of lenses, etc — I ha

Visit any of the retailers who offer user-operated printing of digital images and you’ll think that everyone does it that way. Nup! Despite the radically cheaper print cost at these sites (10c and lower!) there’s plenty of digital photographers out there who prefer to do it at home on th
