Inspired by Rembrandt, the painter, whose mastery of light and shadow gave us portraits that remain dramatic, moody, and eternal… I sought to echo his unique style, photographing sunflowers under the gentle glow of soft candlelight.

A wildlife photography checklist is important for ensuring readiness and ethical practices, allowing photographers to focus on capturing fleeting moments rather than worrying about forgotten details. The dynamic and unpredictable nature of wildlife means that every second counts, and a pre-shoot checklist helps.

An amazing battle unfolded as the Harrier Hawk checked every nook and cranny of the weathered wood-skeleton for it’s next meal. The starlings who calls it home was not happy and a scream-fest ensued.

This photo turned out to be a bit of a surprise! The way the birds feathers ‘flow’ with the water ripples make for an interesting result – or so I think. The second version is edited to distinguish more between bird and water. Let me know what you think.

Sunset Tree Climbing

This young lion decided to go on an adventure while the rest of the pride was relaxing on the warm ground. It was difficult to capture this photo as it was already 17:30 and the light was disappearing, however I’m happy with how the last bit of sun light illuminated the lion and tree to create depth in the image.

Creative Wildlife Photography;
There are many ways to create artistic wildlife images. Slowing your shutter speed down opens up a world of creative possibilities. By using Natural light can also be harnessed to produce stunning artistic effects. I’m thrilled to share a few images where I’ve dived into the realm of Photoshop’s brushes. Some of the…Read More

Slow Shutter Speed Creations – Blue Light
Blue light photography happens when the sun is just a few degrees below the horizon line. At this position, the sun doesn’t directly illuminate the foreground (or your subjects). Instead, this indirect sunlight produces predominantly blue hues caused by an effect called Rayleigh scattering.
