I hope you all tuned in last night for my long exposure masterclass.
For those who did, I hope you enjoyed it!
Here’s a long exposure of Kalk Bay beacon.

A full moon rising over Kalk Bay harbour.
I shot this image with a telephoto lens to get the compression on the moon, which helped it to look so big.
In order to get this shot I had to focus stack, meaning I had to take one image for the lighthouse and one image for the moon.

I’ve been following all the hype recently around the Apple Vision Pro headset.
While the technology is still in its infancy it’s amazing to see how advanced a first generation product really is.

How to Photograph the Northern Lights

The Northern Lights season has now drawn to a close. However, the next couple of seasons could be very special indeed for auroras chasers. Join me as I discuss the beauty of the Northern Lights, some of the science behind them, and how I capture this magical experience. Back in October last year, I visited Iceland for 10 magical days, travelling around the country in a camper van, chasing the auroras. Out of the 10 days, I saw the auroras seven nights, which for Iceland, is quite special. The weather in Iceland can be pretty unpredictable, but I had amazing fortune on my journey.

Landscape photographers typically show everything in focus, from foreground through to background. But sometimes using intentional bokeh can help direct the viewers eye toward what is important in the scene, and away from distracting textures.
