Sunset, an ocean wall, a pelican… I love Pelican, there’s something about their size, gracefulness in the air and on the water – but ungainly gait on land – which I find endearing. This one seemed to be enjoying the sunset as I finished the 2009 Worldwide Photo Walk and I shot him more outContinue reading “Pelican on a Post…”

Young cricketer…
This is another example of shooting sport, and why I love Canon’s 300mm f/2.8: it’s soooooo sharp, produces beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds and works well with a 1.4x converter, too. This image was relatively easy to capture, although many would argue it’s never easy to shooting full-frame with a big, heavy lens and a converter: butContinue reading “Young cricketer…”

Rule of thirds… sort of.
Dividing this image into three bands – the foreground reflections, the boys in the water and the boats on the horizon, make this a distintive summer feel. Strong saturated colours give it an intense feel. Underexposed 2/3-stop off the meter to hold highight detail in the white water and saturate the colours. Canon 5D Mk2,Continue reading “Rule of thirds… sort of.”
