Following on from my post in November, Walking the Coast, we have been slowly walking the South West Coast Path and trying to join the dots of the locations we visit. Before then covered a bit of ground in October Westward Ho!, then another time Widemouth to Millook Lovely inland views and dramatic Millook Haven …
Towards the end of last year, I did a lot of Re-enacting Portraits from time periods around the 1400-1500s but not nothing from late 1800s. That all changed in October with the arrival of a lady who loved Gothic Victorian dress-wear. When shooting these period costumes I try and shoot them in a style that …
1 week after my last disaster with the ND filter, I’d bitten the bullet and purchased a LEE filter adapter and ND9 filter, albeit secondhand but in good conditions and was heading back to the same location of lovely streams on Dartmoor.
So, following on from Part 1, I knew that to take advantage of all these lovely places I was visiting and to improve my long exposure photography, something had to change. I’d come to the conclusion that it was my filter, so on to eBay and purchase a new darker Cokin filter. I’d researched some …
Something I’ve always wanted to try long exposure photography. Visiting the beaches and moor has given me the opportunity to do this. So at the end of last year I decided to give it a go. I had mixed results. I found my old Cokin filters and adapter and collected my studio tripod and set …
One of the reasons we decided to move to Devon was to be closer to the coast, but also close to the moors. We both love the sea and walking the coastline, exploring places and seeing the lovely scenery. However getting to the coast on a regular basis is tricky, but recently we’ve managed it …
If you like my photography, you’ll be pleased to know that I am now selling my images on Picfair!
There is a range of images, from my Lunar photos, to Landscapes, Dartmoor and Coastlines!
I’d been discussing a Maternity shoot with a lady for a couple of months and we’d booked it for the end of October. She loved all my low key work as well as my material styles, and also had some great ideas for a creative style too. As with all my maternity shoot, we started …
Working through the ages with Re-enactment Portraits has been great fun. When I was told my next portrait session would have a drum, it was really exciting and challenging. So, we jumped from Tudor times to English Civil War. Luckily the drum wasn’t quite as big as I expected, but what a great prop for …
My next re-enactor portrait session we’d moved to the 1600’s. It was a couples shoot, with some middle class costumes. First up an Upper Middle class lady. Followed by an Upper Middle class man. These costumes really allow me to get creative with my Re-enactment Portraits Next, Lower Middle class. and then Army If you …
Recently I’ve been doing quite a few Re-enactor portraits. Sometime these require a brick or stone background. My Re-enactor portraits all have digital background from photos I have taken over the years. These gave me an idea. I decided I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone, so to speak. I hadn’t done a Dartmoor …
Not long after my initial re-enactment shoot I got an enquiry to do a portrait session for another Tudor re-enactor. With different clothing it provided some good variation on the first shoot. With different props and different weapons, we produced some nice portraits for him. Then a change of clothing and a different weapon. and …
As mentioned in my last post, I recently did a Re-enactment portrait to try out some new. A few days later I did another Tudor era portrait session for his wife. Although there were less costume variations and prop changes, we managed to create another differing images. Standing, Sitting and with different backgrounds. Once again …
