A couple of years ago, when I was getting to grips with my Canon 6D, I read Alex Nail’s blog about using his custom modes to set up a camera with the commonly used parameters. On the first read I have to say I, like many perhaps, didn’t see the point. However I tried…
I’ve been giving presentations to some local photographic clubs recently. I’ve used Microsoft Powerpoint for some time now, and although there are plenty of other open source programs out there now, I still prefer Microsoft’s software and also I’m lucky to have access to Office 365.

I thought I’d write a quick blog on a recent trip, to try and capture an Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), from Dartmoor, as I have had a few questions about apps and camera settings.

This is a topic that keeps on surfacing on the inter-web, magazines, forums especially in the landscape photography community. I find it like many old arguments, like digital vs film. It takes many guises and also is often taken to inappropriate extremes: I always use graduated filters vs I always bracket my exposures I don’t…
