Title: ‘Happy Hour’
5DMk4, Tamron 150-600mm, 1/1000 sec at F5.6, ISO 100
This was taken in the early morning into a rising sun. I needed to retain enough data in the shadows to give a bit of detail hence the high shutter speed. I had taken a number of fairly boring shots when the bull decided he would come to the party and complete the c…Read More

Ask any good bagel baker and the will tell you that the key to that chewy crust and slightly dense interior is boiling the bagels before baking them! Yes! The longer the boil, the thicker and chewier the crust.

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.
Shot with my Fujifilm X-T3 and 100-400mm

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.
It got me thinking about what the future of photo post-processing will look like, with an ultra-high definition screen attached to your face.
What…Read More

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.

This image I shot of Nelson Mandela in Soweto either 2002/3. Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital.
Event for the opening of the Peri-natal HIV unit. I have done I think 4 shoots over the years with Nelson Mandela but this image is the most iconic I ever managed to get…even though I was closer on some occasions. Its one of my favourite portrait…Read More

Fixed focal length lenses require planning… as the subject placement is more difficult than when using a zoom lens. Late afternoon sun showing texture and depth in the background, so I selected a spot where the rider would fill the frame (remember it’s a fixed 300mm so your legs are the zoom) and I waited for a rider with high contrasting…Read More

This image was taken on a pretty wet day in Thabazimbi. Light setup included.

Quick and easy light setup photographing a group. Key light is a 600w Godox light using a bounce umbrella to give direction to the light. The background is lit with a 200w Godox flash with an orange gel, to light up the background and create a more interesting photo.

This image is lit using two light sources. The couple is lit with a continuous light, boomed just above them. The window is lit using a flash from outside the window shooting back into the couple.
