Christmas with COVID.
We wish everyone a safe and festive season. For many this will be a wonderful family gathering or a celebration with friends. Vaccinations and boosters are great but the simple things, washing hands and wearing a properly fitted mask make a huge difference.
As a photographer, wearing a mask is quite a hindrance but with practice is now just part of the process. Do people after a photograph and keep their mask on? That is a very rare situation. So knowing that 'mask off' has some inherent dangers, why not think about having your photographs taken outdoors. This gives you and your photographer a new environment, great background and usually better lighting. Most importantly your health and safety are improved and hopefully some great photographs to remember.
Colours in the Morning
Getting up early has never been a thing I have enjoyed. I need a reason and it must be very good. I found that purpose when I understood that the colours of the early morning are enhanced by the early mist or moisture in the air. The water content enhances the light reflection and gives far better beauty and light than later in the day when the air has been heated by the sun and de-humidified.
So next time to think about sleeping in and enjoying your warm bed, do it knowing that you are missing the best part of the day from the point of view of a photographer.

Can my phone take a great photograph?
The standard of the images seen on a small screen of a smart phone are fantastic. Those pictures are never created to print to the size that each PHOTOART 360 print can be made for a wall. A smart phone lens is wide angle and limited in its range of focus options as compared to the often large, heavy and cumbersome cameras that are used by a professional photographer. Added to this is a tripod, filters, extensive patience and many hours of post production using high end software. The results are obvious when a comparison is made print for print rather than small screen to small screen comparison.
What is ICM?
Intentional Camera Movement
Photograph comes in many forms. Taking static tripod bound images is one approach . Another is the interntial moving of your camera with a longer shutter speed to create new and unusual compositions. Many are in the form of panning to capture a fast moving object like a racing car and others begin with an object and imagination creates the result. The example here is ICM used with graffiti wall art with the camera moved violently to create this result called Moroccan Nights.
