To be a creative photographer you need to set yourself projects that will stretch your capabilities and take you out of your comfort zone.

My passion is landscape photography and I love to travel to different areas of the United Kingdom in order to hone my craft.

Landscape photography is a subject that presents many challenges as you are subject to so many variables such as the weather, what the camera can actually capture and to find something unique to shoot.

There are many decisions to be made such as time of day, composition, colour or black and white and whether to use filters.

For me the main choice is which lens is appropriate for the image that you wish to make. It is not always what you might expect.

Most people assume for landscape that you would go straight for a wide angle lens. This is often not the best choice as the natural world is complex and a telephoto can be used to great effect to simplify things giving a much better composition.

The important factor with lenses is their angle of view and how they effect space in the frame.

One comment that I often receive when I am out and about is that I have a nice camera and I must get good images with that. The truth is that you can get great images most nearly all cameras including your phone if you spend a little time to get to know it and its capabilities.

Once you know this then you can take steps to be in charge and create the results that you want from your photography.

If you feel that you would need some tuition then I would love to meet you. You just need to contact me for the availability of dates and locations.
