Lavender field photography workshop kent

Took Derek, from good old South Africa (my wife's homeland) on a one day workshop and started off with these lovely lavender fields in Kent. The weather was very mixed with torrential rain and sunshine-perfect to get some dramatic shots with a little patience! Photography really is about waiting for that magical moment along with plenty of patience. It doesn't always have to be sunrise or sunset either, this was shot about 10.30 - 11.00 AM.

Poppies in Kent

These poppies were shot last week near to where I live. Apparently they only appear now and again so I was lucky and fortunate enough to visit them on several occasions. Enjoy these special events and remember to book early June in your diary to go poppy hunting!

Virgin 747 25th anniversary flyby with Red Arrows, Biggin Hill airshow, 2009

What a memorable and amazing experience! The Virgin 747 flew by really slowly and at low altitude giving a fantastic photo opportunity-oh yes, and the Red Arrows were in formation behind it!! Great airshow, one of the best I have been to.

photography workshop, london

These were some shots taken on a workshop I did a while ago in London. It is one of the most exciting places to do night photography. I am doing one to one workshop tutorials and also small groups. The Canary Wharf shots really show why it is so worthwhile sticking around after the sun has gone down. Wait at least 20 minutes after sunset for the sky to darken and then keep shooting until the sky has gone black to guarantee success.

In this beautiful, quiet shot you can see the weather was not so hot, yet we still managed to create a beautiful picture. The photographer's art is about seeing the potential in all weathers and seasons.
