Corridors may not sound like a particularly interesting photographic subject, but with the use of depth of field, a good composition and clever use of colour, they can make a great photograph!

There is one subject that is in abundance all around us (unless you live on a desert island), architecture. Look around you, offices, bridges, houses, museums, the list is endless. Next time you are wondering what you can capture next, go out and have a go at architecture…..

I had the great fortune of being invited to take photos of a friend wakeboarding. I did a bit of research beforehand and also learned a few tricks and tips on the day……

Getting a photo right can prove challenging enough, taking a good photo at night or in low light is a whole different ball game. The key is preparation, patience, knowing what settings to use and how to make the most of any available light that may be present. Get this right and the rewards are well worth it!

What Is Aperture?

The main purpose of a lens is to collect the available light. The aperture of the lens is the size of the lens opening. The larger the aperture, the more light allowed to reach the image sensor.
Aperture is expressed as F-stop, F2.8 is the smaller the F-stop number, the larger the aperture.
