📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG – NOW LIVE!
I've been busy turning years of photography experience, tips, tricks and class notes into a growing collection of articles on my Photography Blog.
Whether you're using a mobile phone, compact camera, DSLR or mirrorless camera, there's something there for everyone — from beginners looking to understand their camera to photographers wanting to explore more creative techniques.
You'll find articles covering:
📷 Understanding Your Camera – aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure and getting the most from your equipment.
☀️ Light & Exposure – understanding the exposure triangle, the Sunny 16 rule, dynamic range and working with difficult lighting.
🎯 Composition & Creativity – how to see a photograph, improve your composition and, most importantly, shoot with intent.
🔄 Bracketing & Advanced Techniques – exposure bracketing, HDR, focus stacking and how multiple images can be combined to create something a single exposure can't.
⏱️ Time & Movement – time-lapse, hyperlapse and exploring what happens when we move beyond the conventional photograph.
🎨 Colour & Editing – understanding colour, the colour wheel, editing techniques and how post-production can become part of your creative process.
📱 Mobile Photography – why your phone photographs can sometimes look better than those from your DSLR or mirrorless camera — and the surprising reasons why!
🤖 The Future of Photography & AI – will AI choose our best photographs? Could smart cameras and AI glasses eventually decide when the perfect moment occurs? And will you still make the final creative decision?
I'm continuing to add new articles, so if you're interested in photography — whether you're just starting out or have been taking photographs for years — have a look, have a read and hopefully pick up something useful along the way.
