Great time of year for capturing some photos of colourful dragonflies. Quite aptly making the shape of a heart while mating!!

I was actually trying to get some nice landscape shots tonight when I saw a couple of bees ‘hooning’ about collecting nectar. Thought I would try a few ‘in flight’ action shots!>….

I love taking portrait shots that tell a story or portray emotion, here are some of my favourite shots…..

Outdoor portrait photography offers a whole new array of challenges for you to overcome. The changing light, the elements and general conditions all play a part in how your photos will come out after the session. Getting the basics right and being confident during the photo shoot will allow you to relax and conentrate on the little things that set your photos apart from the rest.

Taking a photo of a car is easy, point and shoot, the problem is that this will result in just a photo of a car. If you want to create some atmosphere which really creates a ‘mood’ and add that bit more to the photo then there are some things to consider and a few tricks you can use….

One of the great things about heathland is the array of colours on the ground….mix this with great colours in the sky and some water/ice to reflect them and you have a great scene for a photo shoot…

There are loads of images all over FLickr and alike featuring coloured drops of water close up. The random nature of water makes for a different photo each time and it is not as hard to set up a small ‘set’ to capture ‘the Chaos Theory’ in action!
