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.
In this digital photography video we show how to transform an image shot in flat bland lighting into a striking atmospheric and richly toned Black & White image.
A month or so ago I was asked by New York Photo megastore B&H Photo if I would like to do a guest post on their blog.
Of course I said I’d be happy to and produced this short 12 Minute ProPhotoInsights Snapshot Video titled “Moonrise At Greylake Sleuice”.
The image was shot on location for a Digital Photography Tutorial (which I never got around to producing until now) about 12 months ago on the Somerset Levels.
Exposed at dusk with just the last remnants of a fantastic autumn sunset and the rising moon for illumination it was one of the most memorable landscapes I have had the fortune to witness and capture.
The video is aimed at digital photography for beginners and we not only explain what various camera settings do but also illustrate them and show how they can be used creatively to produce images YOU want to create not the camera.
I have mentioned a few times to members on ProphotoInsights about the composition video series I was working on and part 1 is finally finished!
To be fair the first video footage was shot 12 months ago while on location but I was not happy with it (me being ultra fussy!) and it got I placed it on the shelf for several months while other work took over.
Later last year I found a great location for what I required while in Majorca Spain and I re shot the footage needed.
Part 2 promises to be available much sooner as I plan all going well to shoot some of it while in Turkey this May.
