Clear blue skies with no drama are some of the hardest conditions to make impactful images in. I was recently in the Dolomites where we had clear skies most days, and in this video I go through my workflow, from composition to image processing, trying to get the best out of the conditions.

Read MoreFor this video I look at some of the considerations in the field when composing and shooting telephoto landscapes in the mountains, and then go through the editing workflow of one of my most popular images from last year, taken on a misty sunrise in the Dolomites
Read MoreThis is the second video from my recent Dolomites in Winter workshop. I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field, and as I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
Read MoreAt this time of year I spend a lot of time travelling and leading workshops, and in the past I've not filmed videos during the workshops, but this year I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field. I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible, so most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
Read MoreIn this video I go over the Lightroom editing techniques I use on my own landscape photography images. The philosophy behind image editing is to enhance the mood already present in the RAW capture by using contrast draw attention to different parts of the image.
Read MoreThe very first lens I bought when I switched to the Fuji system 4 years ago was the XF10-24mm f4 wide angle zoom. After taking it with me on more than 20 trips around the world it's still the lens that I recommend most often to people who ask me which lens they should get for landscapes.
Read MoreI love colourful sunrises and sunsets with beautiful warm golden light illuminating the landscape, but when you’ve dragged yourself out of bed in the dark and up a mountain and the weather doesn’t give you what you want, there’s still the possibility to capture stark moody landscapes.
Read MoreI love the Dolomites. The jagged spires and peaks are my favourite landscape to photograph and every time I’m back there I find new inspiration. Photographing these same mountains blanketed in winter snow was something I’d wanted to do for a long time
Read MoreLast month I spent a week or so in the snowy Dolomites mountains and put together this video about shooting an image from capturing the scene to my complete image editing workflow. We weren’t that lucky with the conditions, either having too much wind and driving snow, or completely clear skies with no drama, but landscape photography is usually about taking the scene as you find it and working out how best to shoot and edit a scene to fit the mood of a place.
Read MoreI’ve been using the Mavic 2 Pro for a couple of months now and it’s a big improvement over the original Mavic Pro, so here’s a brief review and a look at the settings I’ve found which can really get the most out of the sensor.
Read MoreAfter leaving Val Gardena we headed east, first through Passo Sella which sits between the peaks of Sassalongo and the cliffs of the Sella towers, then following the hairpin roads twisting down the valley, then up again to the Passo Pordoi and down to the village of Arraba
Read MoreBack in the autumn I spent a couple of weeks travelling in the Italian Dolomites, some of the most beautiful mountains in Europe. I’d planned the trip at this time of year as late September/early October is when the trees are starting to turn golden and when the tourist season has passed leaving the trails and many of the more popular locations empty.
Read MoreAfter months of work we've finally launched the new Light Explorers Workshop website. Light Explorers is a landscape photography workshop company I run with my two fellow landscape photographers Konstantinos Vasilakis and Kostas Petrakis, and this year we've been putting together four workshops to some truly locations in Italy and Iceland which we'll be running in 2018.
Read MoreMy first Fuji camera back in 2015 was the X-T10 which I bought at the time with the intention of using as a back up camera to my Nikon D800E. I was immediately impressed with what a pleasure it was to use and how good the image quality was. It also struck me that it was laudable of Fuji to give exactly the same sensor and image quality from their flagship cameras to a lower end model.
