The Blog home of SPOTTY PHOTO. Hello all, welcome to my photo blog! I going to post everything I do here, the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY... Warts and all.
If you like what you see, get in touch; most of all.... ENJOY!!!!
I'm very much looking forward to shooting Stuart and Claire's wedding tomorrow at the Mount. I've got some nice new ideas to try out and have a lot of fun with the bride and groom! I can't wait, I want to start shooting now! The image above if from Mark and Laura's wedding I shot in August, it's going to form the basis of my new marketing campaign so keep an eye out...
Have you ever visited Black Rock Sands? It's a huge expanse of sand which you can drive your car onto (if your brave enough). It's also great for dramatic sky's especially when they role in off the sea. I loved the reflections in the wet sand with the tyre tracks running through it.
What do you think about colour? I love deeply saturated colours that explode out of the image what ever type of image that may be. Is there a better time of the year to make an image like this than right now? With all the gold's, reds, browns, greens and yellows it's just beautiful. This water fall is at the top of a really small country lane between Barmouth and Portmadog Wales. The place has a magical feel to it and I wanted to capture that essence. This is a small side stream off the main flow and the water is quite deep in the margins so you have balance the tripod and yourself quite carefully else you're going in!
Another image from my cold adventure in wales. I don't know why but I'm always drawn to water and love to include it in my images in whatever form it takes. A fellow photographer Trey Ratcliffe (a very deep and thoughtful man indeed!) said a few weeks ago, You are either a water, mountain, countryside or city person and you will naturally gravitate towards these type of images. I think he is absolutely right. I'm defiantly a water person, what type of person are you?
Such a beautiful morning with so many opportunities for photographs I filled all my memory cards within about 3 hours. The mist was rolling around in the valley constantly changing the scene. The sun was rising behind the large hill to the left and filled the trees with golden light. I shot everything for full scale pano's to my favourite square detail shots and everything in between so plenty more to follow.
