6 Miles Up Over The Alps

Filed under: Photography Tutorials — Tags: , , — admin @ 5:57 pm

I’m writing this post from the Aegean Coast In Turkey where we have a home.
I never fail to get inspired by flying and the unique perspective it gives along with spectacular cloud formations.
The light changes very quickly at 500 mph so just when you put your camera down there is another shot to be had.
This image along with many others was shot with my very basic and challenging iPhone 4…great fun !

Moored Between The Reeds

Have I mentioned before that I learn’t my photography by spending a many a misty dawn shooting landscapes on the Somerset levels?. I probably have and 20 odd years on I can still be found wandering the wetlands with my camera.

Although I have explored just about every corner of this area of Somerset it still inspires me to go out and look for new locations and shooting opportunities and I’m rarely dissapointed.

This image titled Moored Between The Reeds was shot on Shapwick Heath which is a RSPB (Royal Society For Protection Of Birds) area.

As often is the case with my work it’s been..ehh Tweaked shall we say to fit my interpretaion of the place as I see it rather than a straight record of the location as it existed.
