Studio Techniques

What a great day in the studio!  My first shoot for the brand-new Pet Portraits Awards, a lovely Mummy and Me Shoot, then a wee family.  Today I was shooting with the Nikon Df Camera tethered to an Apple MacBook Air, using my new Smart Shooter 3 app.  It’s much easier to use than Nikon’s own transfer programmes, and cuts out one step in the workflow, for the images are already on the computer for processing, so no download after the clients have left.

 

Here’s my image of the day, Katie and hannah on the swing/dreamcatcher…

Going Shopping?

Everything you do is a photo opportunity. That’s how history is recorded, and street photography has never been easier, given the powerful cameras that are now built into our mobile phones and smart devices and the apps available to process them.

So, following my own advice – a shopping trip with Janette becomes a snapshot of life in 2016 in Lisburn.

Commercial – ish

It’s been a couple of weeks of commercial photography, photographing buildings for a large corporate organisation. But that doesn’t prevent a few private shots while out and about. 

I was working in a large commercial area of Belfast when I noticed this modern building gleaming in the sun, with a flock of birds overhead. A quick black and white snap later…

  

Teddy Bear’s Picnic!

Summer’s Coming – so GET READY TO PICNIC!

At Dundonald, I’m getting ready for the Summer!  This year our studio Summer Kid’s Theme will be ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic!’  You can bring a couple of kids to have a lovely day out with their teddies – and some of our favourite soft toys will join in too! And especially TEMBO our very own little baby elephant. 

There’ll be proper little cups and saucers in the Teddy Area, and juice and biccies, – all after some fun photos first with the green screen!  Your Summer Teddy Bear’s Picnic will last around an hour.

At the car-wash…

Today I made a momentous decision.  – to take the car to the car-wash!  It appears that it is a deep red colour.  Waiting for the attention of the washers, I noticed this lovely sky, and couldn’t resist a shot.  Here it is, captured with the Hueless App on the iPhone:
