PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT

18/3/2020

0 Comments

 
I was asked by one of my Shaggy Dog Walker clients to photograph their son and dog Keela as they had liked my B&W of Keela so much. Here are a few images from the shoot that were printed for framing.
​If you are interested in getting family photographs taken give me a call or email.

I took this today with my P20 Pro smartphone in RAW format and have created 3 versions using Luminar.
Enchanced colour, B+W and Ethereal preset, giving a different look to image.

I took these with my Huawei P20 Pro on Sunday at North Berwick. They were shot in Pro mode as RAW files and edited in Luminar. The quality of smartphone cameras these days is just amazing.

Switching to new post-processing software - ON1 Photo Raw 2019

25/6/2019

0 Comments

 
As you know I have been mainly using Adobe Lightroom to create my B+W and Colour images from RAW files. Unfortunately Adobe's cloud-based subscription service is becoming unaffordable for someone who is not a full time professional photographer. 

​I have been looking around and trying out the alternatives like Luminar, Capture One and ON1 Photo Raw.

I have decided that ON1 is the best alternative to Lightroom and gives the best set of features and user interface that also has a easy learning curve.

Check out ON1 and download the free trial version, full version is currently selling for only 80 dollars (£62) and is subscription free.

Some sample images below using ON1 Photo Raw.

After a long time considering the jump to full frame professional cameras I have eventually got myself a 5D mk ii with Canon EF 50mm lens. Not had much chance to get out around East Lothian yet but initial results are pretty good and its a lovely camera to use.

Something different for Feb NB Artisan Fair

4/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Thought I would try some 'illustration' style prints for the upcoming NB Fair. 
​They are in 10x8 mounts and printing on 260gsm Lustre paper. There are various styles from watercolour to pencil sketch and have a subtle textured paper effect.
These are priced at £10 and come with the same quality 1400 micron mounts as the 16x12 prints.

Prague visit P20 Pro Shots

4/1/2019

We were in Prague for Christmas and was a great test for new smartphone camera.
It was grey and over cast unfortunately so best shots were at dusk and night using amazing Night Mode.
​These are all 'straight out of camera' with no retouching.
