VLOG

The Link to the latest vlog in the Menu has been updated, this will be done every time I upload a new vlog to YouTube (normally a Saturday at 8AM)! I will add a date to the right of the of the drop down also (See below) to verify the date it went live! Both of those tabs will take you to the YouTube video.

^ Both tabs are linked to the video ^

Here is a link to the latest video:

It is looking doubtful that a vlog will be released next week due to things happening at home? If I can get out I will let you know in a future post.

Finally, to help my channel grow, please subscribe it would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you

Further updates / additions

Today, due to the heat, I have spent the day uploading more of the images to the website. On each of the pages, at the bottom, I have added a link to the vlogs just incase you missed them. I apologies for the time it is taking, there are so many I have not uploaded it will take a while to catch up.

It is nice sitting next to a fan however.

Website updated

I have pretty much spent the day uploading images to the website as I normally do not have the time to do that. Please browse through the site and let me know what you do and do not like.

I have also removed certain parts of the website that I felt served no purpose; they were not getting updated, and according to the site data, they were hardly visited either.

I have, however, added my YouTube channel as well as a link to my latest vlog, which will be updated every time a vlog is released – this coming Saturday, for instance.

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support.

Suffolk

I returned to the Norfolk Broads in Suffolk last week to photograph yet another Mill, Herringfleet Mill, I adore it there, so beautiful and all of the time.

The Vlog is out on the youtube channel this Saturday so please pop along and watch it. Here is a taster.

Here is the cover which is linked to the vlog.

Thank you

Thurne Mill

I do not really like to share too many images of places I have been until the Vlog is up, however on this occasion I am after your thoughts.

This is the exact look I was after when I took this. It was at ISO 64, F14 and 90 seconds. I really wanted everything to be bright and smooth.

I think my friend Steve said it wasn’t for him at the time, he wasn’t really wanting long exposures at the time as the water was already clam and he liked the ripples in the water.

There is one thing I do not like on this, I’ll see what you guys see and think.

Thank you for looking.

Did I say reduce

I may of said it but that doesn’t mean that I mean it.

So today a new member of the family arrived. I bought her for use in portrait photography because I do that often (sarcasm)

I have been asked to photograph a wedding and I think that I will need the F1.8 aperture for the event.

The addition of the beast

I was going to give the new addition to the collection a name but I think the beast will have to be sufficient.

I have not used it in anger yet though I am about to venture out into the cold photographing any bird that presents itself, I will share any I take and add them below on this post, mind you it is only 3C and I wouldn’t blame any of our feathered friends for hiding and taking cover in a warm spot.

Some of the images with the beast

As stated before, it was cold, very cold and the wildlife we saw was few and far between. There was a buzzard or bird of prey but he was very high and although I did capture a few images they were very small so once cropped they became a little spoiled and not really worth sharing.

The experience was however worth it, remembering I do not normally take images of birds in general but it is something I would now like to do more often so watch this space.
