    I had the pleasure of attending a 'street photography at night class' recently, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The tutor's friendly and patient approach made learning a breeze. Claudiu's guidance helped me grasp essential techniques and concepts, enhancing my photography skills significantly. I left the class feeling not only more confident but also inspired to explore and experiment further. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in honing their photography skills.

    Back in 1982, when the wreck of the Mary Rose was lifted off the seabed in the Solent, I was watching the TV like millions of others in the UK. Several years later, when the museum was been constructed, my wife and I went to see the historic wreck been spraying with chemicals to preserve the timbers. In August this year we returned to the museum. The wreck is now displayed in its correct orientation, and the deck timbers have been replaced. The viewing platforms have artefacts that were dis

    I've been wanting to get out and about again with my fisheye lens. Finding a day to do so doesn't come around that often. So being unbusy I decided to take a walk around Nantwich in the rain hoping to get some rainy street photos in. Nothing much was happening and I decided to go into the church where I was met by the curator. I find its always best to ask before photographing in such places.I knew what I wanted to photograph so I wasn't there that long, even after the history lesson given

    I sat and saw the most clearest sky I had ever seen. I've never seen satalites moving before and I was completely in awe. So decided to set up my Panasonic Lumix GX8 camera on the time lapse setting and set it to f8 @30secs. With 30 second intervals and just left it running through the night while I went to bed. I used a 3rd party program to stack the images and to my complete amazement I had Star Trails.

    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
