Brooke Shaden is a wonderfully creative photographer, whose images make me wish that I had the opportunity to spend more time on creating and editing more theatrical images. But I can’t complain; my time is, after all, spent on pursuing other passions and fascinating goals. One of the problems I came across when shooting for […]

A portrait I photographed a couple of years ago, with the intention of combining it with an evening view of the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen, was this one of Sara; a result I’m particularly pleased with. The shot of the waterfall and river was photographed around two weeks earlier than the shot of Sara in […]

There’s a lot of criticism in the world of photography. Not just the personal opinion of someone who likes or dislikes your photo, but also more general criticism on the subject of such things as originality and inspiration, equipment, or what makes a “photograph” as opposed to an creative image. The biggest argument used to […]

Sometimes, there’s more to a picture than meets the eye, and the natural surroundings need a little help. Whilst I do my best to eliminate fakery in my landscape and architectural photography, sometimes a little patience, lateral thinking and light use of Photoshop can work wonders.

I’ve been meaning to spend a little time to sit down and really get to grips with the High Dynamic Range editing process. For the unititiated, the HDR is a photo which contains detail within a much wider range of tones than is possible through an individual shot, from deep shadows to bright highlights.

Trial shots for the so-called "Brenizer Method": accentuating a shallow depth of field by stitching together several individual images. For more examples (and better ones, as I only had a f5.6 lens with me today), visit www.flickr.com/groups/brenizermethod/. This photo is best viewed at a larger size. (Larger images are only available to my contacts.)

I’ve been wandering the streets of Bern at lunchtime all week, taking photos of buildings, views and scenes: most of which have been series of individual pictures to bring home and stitch together on the computer. This is one of my more successful results, which is a stitch of 12 pictures to show the panoramic […]

View largerThis poster is from a campaign for Swiss interior design company Pfister, the tag line of which states that the inner city of Bern is being re-vamped. What the poster specifically refers to isn’t 100% clear (at least, there appears to be no reference to the campaign online), it might be a clever (or unwitting) […]

I know: I have a new camera, so I should be out using it. But sadly, I haven’t had time and my inspiration isn’t quite at 100% today. So instead, here’s a lovely black and white photograph which emulates an infra-red effect, converted from colour by following a Photoshop tutorial written by David "Chromasia" Nightingale. […]
