Blog ArchivesImage Of The Moment – Bournemouth
I purchased a new 50mm camera lens and to Christen it I drove 100 miles to Bournemouth on the South coast of England to take some photos.

A Guide To Nightclub Photography
I recently joined my friend (who is a DJ), at one of his gigs at a well known British Bar. He asked if I could take some photos of him, his DJ partner and the venue. He also asked if I could not use a flash as this may put them off of their mixing etc.
Guide To Taking Photos For Others
Taking photos as a hobby is one thing, but what about when someone asks you to take photos for them to display. I was recently asked to take some photos of a friends car. Here is the process I used to make sure that not only I was happy with the outcome, but more importantly, they were!
