A Tilt Shift lifestyle
Some of you may have noticed that recently I have been going a little tilt shift crazy. Alas, I have not been using an actual tilt shift lens. That would require a small fortune and a diet of bread and water for the next couple of years! Now I have never been into the [...]
Thank you
WOW! Thats all I can say. The last 24 hours have been absolutely unreal. I started blogging early last year to record what some have seen as a rather crazy idea in this current climate. A climate that is having life changing effects to many. To try and go it alone and live a dream [...]
Big stopper project
Project one for the year has reached its end, and I must say, what a challenge that was. I recently acquired a 10 stop ND filter more commonly known as a big stopper. Being able to pull off 5 minute exposures in the midday sun is a weird experience. I have always been impressed with [...]
Lets not talk shop today

Keep it Simples
The ball is rolling. Since completing stage 1 of the business plan I feel I have a little more clarity over my course. The next step for me, and it may seem a little premature is around printing and the service I am going to provide. I say it may be a little premature as [...]
From the pocket
Feeling rather worse for wear following a friends birthday party, I forced myself out of bed and strolled down to the beach as punishment for over indulging in the demon drink! Its surprising what a face tingling breeze coming of the channel at 6am can do for the soul. I even managed to keep my [...]
Charge a fee or do it for free?
Something that is being debated to death in photographic circles, and probably has been for a long time now is the whole work for free or work for a fee saga, more to the point for a discount, predominantly in the wedding arena. Many pro photographers out there are losing business to people who are [...]
