A beautiful light moment and a rare feel of summer this August!
 And some nature from a very recent hike up on Exmoor.
.A  little photo shoot at the local park-with some good light and some great models-I love heading out on these little photo shoots with kids, they grow up so quickly-Its lovely to freeze time.These could be photos of your kids-I am always happy to get out with you and take some lovely portrait- shots of your little cherubs,  I will make sure we will bag you some great shots just like these!
(PHOTO TIP) The shot top left and  right are the same image.The image right  is colour balanced, post processed & properly presented.
Professional photographer's use a format called RAW to shoot in-this captures the best tonal range and is the most flexible format of modern day DSLR photography.If you pay professional prices for your photography-your photographer will have the time to make the changes and properly process your images-an amateur or low quality pro.will bypass this process to save time & hence money.'The You get what you pay for' adage is more relevant to this medium than any

for the squeamish, don't look.Oh too late.It's just a harmless' little' spider.Well actually this ones nearer the nine inch mark! Its from India and is called Poecilotheria striata.This is a stock photo for image banks.I have been practising a bit recently with my small items photography-the idea is that these can be used for  advertising images.So expect to see a few more small items.no more spiders though.Promise.

I picked up these tomatoes in the week for a nice salad, I thought they just looked too good to eat, just yet, so had a little photo shoot with them.I used a wide open aperture of f.2.8 and my canon 24-70 f2.8 L  lens, L series canon glass for hair splitting sharpness.The wide open aperture has lent well to the 'creative'shallow depth of field I was after.

Devon Tour,Clovely.

And the final images from my Tour of Devon!You may notice I have a couple of images here that have colour and black and white all in one.This technique is called channel mixing and means some of the colour information is retained on converting a digital image file to mono (black  & white).It's not a technique I  tend not to use allot and I feel it has been over-used especially by wedding photographers.It can be a bit of a cheap trick and in my opinion has little place in modern wedding photography.But there we are, some like it-for me too crass. I thought these two images were deserving & subtle enough.The boat chain just made sense as a great lead in.

Had to include a little bit of Devon here on the blog & finished off these pebble shot's.we shouldn't take pebbles I know due to coastal erosion.I did walk an awful long way before picking these up one at time from various spots along the beach.
