Autumn. warm jumpers, hot chocolate, log fires and great photography. Why do I love autumn so much and what are my tips for photography during this season? Well, keep reading and I will tell you.

For me personally, summer is the worst time of year for photography…

The histogram. A little graph that you will hear about all of the time. You will also see it appearing at the top right hand side of both Lightroom and Photoshop. But what is it? How can you read it? and how will it help improve your photography? Sit tight, grab a cup of tea and I’ll tell you.

Tripods. A pole with 3 legs, right? Nothing more than that. If it holds your camera, then that’s good enough….. WRONG. In my opinion, having a good tripod is imperative. I’m not exaggerating when I say that buying a high quality and sturdy tripod has completely changed my photography and ultimately the quality of my images. Before I delve into that, let me explain why I think, apart from your camera and lenses, why your tripod should be the next most import piece of equipment that you own.

This is going to be a longer blog than usual, as this blog is going to be about my favourite photographers. These photographers all have their own little traits and trends as to why I really like them and their work. Most importantly, I’m going to talk about why they inspire me.

A lot of people may see wild camping (or backpack camping) as something that they wouldn’t be able to do, that it’s scary or a little bit daunting. People generally have the same questions like; What do I pack? What if the weather turns bad? Where can I camp?

Hopefully, this blog will answer some of those questions for you.
