Stalking a Tortoise

Animals are fascinating creatures. Having the opportunity to study and photograph one on close quarters is definitely an interesting undertaking.

Creating HDR images

The next step after creating an HDR from a single RAW file, is to go out and do it correctly with a minimum of 3 different exposures. My mission was to find a place that would offer me a large dynamic range of colour and light to experiment with.

Choosing a tripod

The tricky question which tripod to buy and which brand/type/make will meet my needs best, has occupied my mind these last few days; resulting in a list I made to help me make my decision.

Photo-Walk in the Heath

My excursions into nature tend to be haphazard, occasional and often mundane. But sometimes I come across something beautiful. Today there were butterflies, ladybugs and soft forest walks. And overhead, the clouds sailed by.

Panorama Magic

Panoramas with their sweeping vistas are possible to create, even for the amateur photographer. I learned that recently when I discovered a handy program that manages to stitch panoramas almost seamlessly and perfectly together.

Attempting HDR from single RAW

Ever tried making an HDR image from a single RAW? This is my first attempt and although I can see that there’s room for improvement, I feel a certain satisfaction with my result.
