Speakers' Corner

The following is a page of my photographs that have appeared in a magazine this month.

Back in December I spent a weekend in London with Welshot.

During the weekend we were joined by Will Cheung, editor of Advanced Photographer magazine. On the Sunday afternoon he set us the challenge of describing in a series of photographs what you can expect if you visit Speakers' Corner in London.

It has taken a while, but this month the results appeared in the magazine.

 

Latest blog post - somewhere else!

You've probably already realised if you are reading this blog that I don't post here very often. But that doesn't mean that I've got my feet up, having a rest.

My latest blog post can actually be read over on the Welshot Imaging Blog, where I talk about a recent street/documentary workshop I attended (and why this was my favourite shot of the day).

During the last year I've become more and more interested in taking observational shots out in the street.

Some people feel uncomfortable taking shots of people when the subject is unaware there picture is being taken. But my belief is that while we can certainly get beautiful posed shots, these pictures are truely honest representations of real life. 

Whatever your skill level, I'm sure there is something you will find interesting by taking a Welshot Workshop.

The next workshop I will be attending is "The final picture - post processing with the experts". This should be a great workshop, with training from Gavin Hoey, John Arnold and Eric Renno. Perhaps I'll see you there, or at another future workshop.

Trying out the X100

I charged up the battery and brought the Fujifilm Finepix X100 away with me this weekend to try and work out he best way to use it.

There is a lot of talk on the net about this camera being ideal for street photography. So I've started testing the camera with this first.

After spending the day shopping in Liverpool I've now returned to my hotel to download the images onto my iPad and recharge the batteries ready for tomorrow.

I'm now going to go down to the restaurant and grab some dinner while I look through the shots. But here is the first "proper" shot out of my new camera.
