In this 3rd and final part of his coastal masterclass series we set out at dawn to capture some more images in the South West of England.
Showing that not everything can be planned for in location photography we decide to move on from our intended & planned location to another one where we finds an interesting quayside scene.
With beautiful but challenging light we call upon the modern digital photography tools that are available to us all to help capture the scene.
Two realities that outdoor photographers often face are that the best light is often the most challenging light to work with, and that the most compelling subjects are not always lit by the best light. Having some control over the light can make all the difference.
Successful photographers know that the subtle use of flash can really transform a photo int a great image. However, some outdoor shooters don’t use lighting gear in their photography because they’re either intimidated by using flash or because they think the equipment is simply too heavy or too cumbersome.
Going Fast With Light will show you that good light doesn’t have to slow you down.
In this book, you’ll see specific flash gear and light modifiers that are both affordable and easy to pack, as well as techniques that will help you dramatically improve the quality of your imagery.
You’ll learn different lighting schemes using a single flash or multiple flashes, which methods work best for triggering off camera remote flashes and see a number of lightweight lighting rights that you can adapt and use in your own work, depending on your style. You’ll see how to effectively use colored light without having it look too obvious and learn how to take your photography to the next level of creativity, style and professionalism.
Whether you shoot action, adventure, sports, travel, portraits or kids playing in the backyard, this book will change your photography. With nearly 100 images and over 20,000 words of text, this practical manual contains a tremendous amount of information and ideas that is sure to inspire your creativity and advance your skills and confidence with off-camera flash. Horizontally formatted, it’s optimized for your computer and laptop monitor, and it looks simply awesome on the iPad.

In this first part of 3 videos we set out on location for a mini tour of the coast in the South West of England.
In this episode we visit the historic port of Charlestown and view an image that we visualize and capture of a boat in the bay with cliffs,beach and the old harbour steps in the foreground.

We explain our choice of lens and how we are going to capture everything in shot we want without ruining the look of the image by stiching two images together.
In post production we chat about some of our shooting philosophies like “shoot on location edit at home” while we go through the images.
This is followed by processing in camera raw and stitching two images together.
The next hurdle is a common one when stitching images of the sea as we show you how to fix a mis aligned horizon and cleans up a few waves that also need attention.
With the nuts and bolts of the image fixed we end the video with a dilemma regarding the format for this creation which we decide in the concluding part.
In Part 2 we “add the magic” to the image and experiment by using a techniques I admit to never using before on a landscape image.
Yes yet another title from super eBook publisher Craft & Vision has been published….
BEYOND THIRDS is a captivating and inspiring eBook is about taking composition past the so-called rules. It’s a thoughtful, practical book about the way we build our photographs within the constraint of the frame.

The ebook explores important subjects like the creative use of balance and focal points, insights into how to shape a subject, and using aspect ratio to establish an ideal foundation for making photographs, and so much more!
