During my trip to Namibia earlier this summer we spent a few nights camping out on the Skeleton Coast where the towering dunes meet the ocean.

I've been to the waterfall at Haifoss many times, but on my last trip there late in the summer I used some hiking apps to explore the area a lot more and find a different perspective on this incredible waterfall. In this video I look at my thoughts and considerations in the field, and in the second part of the video go over my Lightroom editing process for one of the images I captured there

This is the first video from my recent Lofoten in Winter workshop. Like my previous videos from the Dolomites is used an iPhone and a DJI Osmo 3 gimbal to record behind the scenes of my recent workshop there, explaining some of the locations and outlining the thought process behind some of the images.

Since I first started landscape photography I’ve always enjoyed making long exposure images of water. I love the surreal feel it gives the landscape, and in this video I discuss the gear and technique required to shoot them at one of my favourite locations in Carrasquiera, Portugal

About ten years ago now, not long after I'd first got seriously interested in photography, I made the hour and a half journey down to the small fishing village of Carrasquiera on the edge of the Sado estuary. I'd seen pictures of the fishermen's piers there, the cais palafita, and wanted to see if I could make a good image there. Piers are the kind of subjects that work really well with long exposures, so I took a thick neutral density filter and my tripod and arrived just before sunset.
That evening I was fortunate enough to get some of the best light and colour I've ever seen and took a couple of images that changed my perspective on photography. In some ways it was the beginning of my photography journey, when I realised how powerful photography could be and how much I enjoyed waiting for the light.

It's been about a month now since I picked up a Fuji X-T10, but due to a combination of being busy preparing for a month in Indonesia next week, and how cloudless and uninteresting the skies are in Portugal right now, I haven't had much chance to go out and shoot landscapes with the camera. It was important to me to try and get the chance though, as I really wanted to be familiar with what the camera can do before I go away.
If you read my last blog you'll know that I'd made my mind up to switch completely over from shooting Nikon to Fuji gear for a whole host of reasons that I wrote about there. Even so, my plan in getting the X-T10 (rather than the X-T1) was for it to replace my backup camera and to shoot with it alongside my Nikon while in Indonesia, before switching completely when I returned.
