One of my favourite personal things to photograph is church and temple panoramas. While I don’t have a religion myself I love the history and architecture of these buildings. While completing the final project of the HND I studied in Birmingham I did a series of 360 degree panoramics which included 360 degree interior photos [...]

On this day Liv and I had a wander around the centre of Madrid to check out the sights and sounds. We saw two different harp players which was a really pleasant surprise but I particularly liked the style and sound of the first player. A real surprise was seeing a military tattoo taking place [...]

Granada as mentioned in the previous post is an absolutely stunning city. It has a lot of Moorish architecture but still has a Spanish look and feel to it. I enjoy taking single photo landscapes but my favourite kind of non-wedding or portrait photography is panoramic photography. We were only in Granada for 3 days [...]

Ever since we moved to Edinburgh I’ve had a fascination with Dean Village. It’s literally a 5 minute walk from the West End side of Princes Street but it’s a whole world apart. It has a beautiful mixture of old and new architecture but my favourite part is when you take a walk down Leith [...]

In January 2009 Liv and I travelled to Taiwan for Chinese New Year. Taiwan is her home country but it was the first I had been there and I fell in love with the country. Taiwan has a really diverse culture which while being well Westernized it still has a Chinese/Taiwanese feel to it. Kenting [...]

Padley Gorge is somewhere we had never been to before and for us was an absolute nightmare to get to. While being relatively easy to get to on a map we had to take massive diversions which made us utterly lost. Padley Gorge is a beautiful example of oak and birch woodland. The gorge is [...]

Today Liv and I had an eventful day when we rented a car for a week and drove down to Herefordshire. I lived in Herefordshire, first in Whitchurch, then Ross on Wye and finally Hereford for 11 years and wanted to show Liv where I had lived and effectively grown up. We drove down in [...]

Something I’ve always wanted to try is shooting vertical panoramics and Edinburgh’s Old Town is surrounded by really fascinating Closes steeped in history. Today is just an experiment with vertical panoramics using a very standard tripod head but completely level tripod. As a [...]
