Last night, I finally got around to writing an article on Aurora Photography, so I thought with another trip to Iceland coming up, it was about time I wrote another blog post about one of the most dramatic countries for landscapes. In the meantime, anyone who would like to know a bit more about photographing the Aurora, please feel free to read the article. [ 2,100 more words ]

Perhaps surprisingly, not everyone has heard of the Aurora Borealis (or indeed the southern hemisphere version, the Aurora Australis). Many of those who have however, have added it to their bucket …

I have finally got around to moving the blog. It has now migrated to my own hosting area. This allows a bit more control and a more seamless link with the portfolio part of my website, using matching themes. It is still based on teh familiar Wordpress layout however, just with a new theme. Please visit the new blog and sign up to continue getting notifications.

I was recently contacted by SleekLens about trialling their Lightroom Preset "Through the Woods". It has been designed following comments by a range of landscape photographers. Last weekend, I installed the presets and had a quick look around. At first glance, the presets are a bit excessive for my style of shooting and most images, but with some tweeks, I think they could be useful. [ 38 more words ]

A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend a Canon Experience Day, with the chance to try out Canon's two high resolution cameras, the EOS 5Ds and 5Dsr. Helping out, were two Canon Ambassadors, David Clapp and Tim Parkin, along with Canon Representative, Rob Cook. Normally when trying out gear, you get a quick few minutes at trade shows and don't have a chance to take images away with you. [ 446 more words. ]

The Faroe Islands and Viking Invasions http://wp.me/p19O1N-83

I'm not long back from my latest trip around Scandinavia. Last year, I was given the opportunity to chase the total solar eclipse, which was going to occur on March 20th 2015. Totality was only going to be viewable from land in two places though, Svalbard and Faroe Islands. The original plan was to head to Svalbard, but time of year meant that the weather could be hit and miss. [ 519 more words. ]

Guiding in Iceland http://wp.me/p19O1N-7Y

It's been a little late in coming, but it's past time to provide an update about my last trip to Iceland. Back in November, I helped out Aurorahunters, guiding for them during a tour to southern Iceland, in combination with Alexander Keen. As usual, the tour had an astronomical theme, but instead of just trying to search out the Northern Lights, we were also looking for the Leonid meteor showers. [ 387 more words. ]
