Professional Photographer Of The Year 2014

For the second time I have been shortlisted for Professional Photographer Of The Year, the last time was in 2012 with a picture of my daughter at sunset sitting on a rock at Birling Gap, East Sussex. To be shortlisted not once but twice amongst an array of amazing photographers and pictures is such an honor and a great boost to my confidence and profile. With regards to timing I was told of my shortlisting just after I shut my website and domain down so I have no website to link people to at the moment, this blog which is a little neglected of late is all I have at present. The reason I shut my website down was my contract came to an end, I wanted to start a new site from scratch and reinvent myself with a new logo and brand ready for the new year of 2015. As soon as I hear the news of the winners I will do a follow up post with my shortlisted picture or possibly winning picture lol for all to see.

RIP Squarespace

My squarespace website has finally come to an end after only one year so I wanted to make a post of what I thought was good and bad and why I let it expire. As an amateur photographer I wanted to share my work with the world and what better way than having your own website with a personal domain name, doing it right with a high end glossy feel can make even a mere amateur look like a seasoned professional. I have tried a couple of methods, the first was a basic template site called clikpic which was a great entry level website creator, but unfortunately it didn't have the high end glossy feel and the variety of templates that I wanted, this was a few years ago and clikpic may have changed since then and upped their game. I then tried WordPress which was the next big thing when starting your own website, you had massive control over your design and options with an endless number of templates to choose from. To be honest WordPress caused me nothing but stress ...

Little Planets

Little planets have been around (ahem cough cough excuse the pun) for a few years now and it's something I've wanted to try since then but there was very little info at the time on how do these amazing and unbelievable pictures, until now. As a subscriber to Digital SLR Photography my September 2012 issue dropped through the letterbox and landed with an angel like grace sitting there waiting for me to make a coffee so I could relax and sift through the pages, it wasn't long before I stumbled upon the complete picture section and bang there it was everything I needed to know about panoramics and little planets. A little spark grew in me as the very thing I've been dying to try over the past couple of years was now in an easy to read and well explained guide and I couldn't believe how easy it was. So far I have only done two planets but already I can see an endless scope of opportunity and ideas for this little gem know as "Little Planets". A step...
