How to EASILY photograph the NIGHT SKY and edit in Lightroom
I've just uploaded a tutorial video to YouTube. It's a quick run-through of how to take an astrolandscape image on location and use some simple techniques in Adobe Lightroom to get the most out of the RAW file. It's pretty self-explanatory, so if you're looking for some tips or advice on shooting a nightscape image, hit the video below! The image I work with in the video is a simple composition taken at Cave Dale, Castleton, in the English Peak District. I'd not shot there be
One year on YouTube - 5 things I've learned
I've been recording videos for my photography vlog for a year now and have learned a lot along the way! Here are my top five things that I've learned vlogging for the last 12 months. YouTube is hard work! I've certainly learned that! 1. Firstly there's a lot more to making a video than just taking a GoPro along on a shoot - which is how I imagined it would be in the beginning. You need to consider the sound, the b-roll and context of what you're filming, and then there's the
YouTube channel trailer
I finally managed to put together a trailer for my YouTube Channel. I'd been struggling with the pacing and actually putting the appropriate content together and just couldn't produce anything that I was happy with. After about a year I've finally produced one I'm happy with though! Have a look and let me know what you think! #astrophotographytips #nightscapephotography #sheffieldphotographer #youtube #photographyvlog
Astrophotography seascapes & wildlife photography at night...
I travelled to Saltburn-by-the-Sea on the North Yorkshire coast for some astrophotography and seascape photography in this episode of the vlog. The beach and particularly Saltburn pier are great locations for photographing the stars and I was really pleased with what I came away with. Check out the vlog here: One of my favourite images from the shoot, and actually one of my favourite photographs from 2017 is this one looking down the pier: But also looking back down the pier
Landscape photography on your doorstep
A thought hit me whilst out running: I don't make the most of what's on my doorstep for landscape photography. Hands up which landscape photographer truly does? In my latest photography vlog I have a wander down to Sheffield station to photograph some urban landscapes and use trains, trams and cars to get some light trails! #urbanlandscapephotography #landscapephotography #sheffield #sheffieldlandscape #urbanlandscape #nightscapephotography #vlog #youtube #yorkshirelandscapep
Not a wedding photography vlog...
To cut a long story short, half way through making this episode I had a slight identity crisis and decided that as far as my vlogging / YouTube channel goes, I'm only going to focus on the landscape/nightscape/urban photography that I do. And also see if I can work out what it is that I actually do... There is some urban nightscape photography in this vlog eventually! I'd filmed a few different things whilst shooting events and weddings, meeting wedding clients etc, and was e
RODE Videomicro unboxing and real world review
For my latest YouTube video I unbox and roadtest the Rode Videomicro, one of Rode's great, and powerful, microphones for cameras, vlogging and generally recording sound. Right out of the box I was impressed with the build quality - I was expecting this thing to be plastic but it actually feels like aluminium maybe, it's got a nice weight to it and feels really solid. The Videomicro comes with a windscreen (or deadcat) and their Rycote® Lyre® shock mount. It's basically a grea
New vlog on Youtube - urban landscape photography at night
This episode I spend a couple of nights photographing some urban landscapes and nightscapes in Sheffield, with varying results. Me and my mate James fail at some urban exploration, but I do manage to get some good shots. Check out the video below, and if you're interested in seeing more then subscribe and you'll be updated when I upload new videos! We started off at the canal basin in Sheffield, shooting The Straddle: After failing to get up high at St. Vincent's church I too
Launching my new YouTube photography channel
Something I've been playing with the idea of for a good while now is starting a YouTube channel about all things photography. It seems to me to be the natural extension of keeping a photography blog really. You'll be able to follow me as I go out shooting and see what I get up to as well as get tips and photography advice. I'm aiming to do reviews and opinion pieces as well. All whilst not trying to take myself too seriously... I've got two videos up already and I think with
