Travels with my Mavic - Episode 4 - Colts Hill to Odiham - No Fly Zone!!

NO FLY ZONE!!! Frustrating!! After a long time without flying I drove to one of my favourite spots on the Basingstoke Canal. I had seen many people that have flown their drone around Odiham Castle and I thought if I started at Colt Hill and worked my way down to the Castle I would have a good idea as to whether there was much military air traffic out of RAF Odiham to contend with

Photographic Bronze Order of Merit - started as a reject!

I don’t often get recognition for my pictures. I keep trying. I keep trying Instagram, Facebook and other Social media Sites. In fact this image above is an image that I shot a couple of weeks ago and very nearly didn’t retouch or edit. I knew I had taken a couple of pictures and maybe it was because I forgot the sunshade for my iPad and couldn’t see it properly or maybe I just didn’t think much of it, I don’t know. It felt like one of those images that just wouldn’t work. So it has stayed in the “stills” folder in the video project which can be found here.

A very breezy day had me fighting the controls after my Mavic Pro found it too windy to use some of the intelligent flight modes that I wanted to try out. Once again I was amazed at the stability of the drone at winds gusting up to 23 MPH. St Martha's Church stands on the Pilgrims way which is also the North Downs way in Guildford and it stretches as Far East as Canterbury.

Mizuno Wave Mirage 3 Gladiator Netball Shoes - Shoot and Retouch

Mizuno like to do things a little differently, if we aren’t photographing netball shoes on blocks of ice then we have them on the moon or floating in mid-air over a grungy concrete urban background, so it was no real surprise when they commissioned us to make a Gladiator themed shoot for their latest shoe creation the Wave Mirage 3 Gladiator Netball shoe.

Virgina Water - Long Exposure Photography

Very often its knowing what you can do with the equipment you have that dictates how you take a photograph and what recipes you use for retouching. In some ways you pre-visualise what you expect to achieve before you click the shutter. Ansel Adams was a fantastic exponent of pre-visualisation, but often its about how you 'feel' on the day and what you want from the final effect that
