A Mad Bad Great year in our Aylesbury Studio
Photography may not be the easiest profession to be in at the moment. Alas too many people think all it takes is a ‘proper’ digital camera and a few You Tube videos to earn a living at it. The briefest look back over the past years work is enough to realise I have the best job I could wish for though. During that time we have photographed a Mermaid practicing at a local dive centre, Model portfolios for aspiring new talents. There has been surprise birthday presents and family gatherings from around the world for 50th wedding aniversaries. Women taking their first tentative dip into online dating sites, others in their wedding finery.

Winter Photography on Snow or Beach
Chinnor in January 2011
One of the great things about photographs is being able to rekindle past memories. This morning I was reminded of how different the weather was last year. Already this morning the sun is climbing over Bledlow Ridge and melting the morning frost from the first real run of chilly weather this year.
Go back twelve months though and it was a very different scene outside. We were still clearing the last of the heavy snow. Sorting through my photos I came across these, taken in my village in the first week of January! No wonder the British talk so much about our weather when it is so changeable.
I love snow and frost scenes but they can present problems to the casual snapper. Camera phones in particular struggle to cope. They may be convenient but they lack the sophistication to cope with such scenes. Even a professional camera will get it wrong without a little help. The same problem happens on the beach with all that bright sand
The problem is cameras are really not all that clever. They assume what is in front of them is an ‘average’ scene. In most cases that means the bulk of the colours would come out around mid grey if you were to shoot in black and white. That actually works quite well with human skin and the typical landscape. Unfortunately grey snow looks less than exciting and that alas is what your camera will try to do as it thinks the image is too bright and underexposes to ‘compensate’. The same happens with sand. where you will often find the beach looks great but your friends are dark blobs
So what can you do about it? Well all is not lost. Many cameras have additional settings their owners tend to forget about and images can also sometimes be rescued later.
- Look for a snow/sand setting. Many modern compacts have extra settings designed to tell the camera things are not quite what it thinks. Some have a snow or beach setting . Use this and you images will allow the extra exposure needed to produce nice crisp snow and if you are furtunate enough to be somewhere lapping up the sun ensure your beach shots are exposed correctly too
- Use exposure compensation. You will have to dig into the manual for this as all cameras differ but essentially you need to set around +2 stops extra exposure. Remember to set it back after though, otherwise all you normal images will seem rather dark!
- Correct it later in a program like Picasa. There is always an option to increase the brightness Really I do not recommend this though. You will lose some detail doing it this way, particularly in the shadows.
Most of all though get out there and take the photos, they are always great to look back on .

Congratulations to our ‘Apprentice’ of getting his licentiate
With all the shoots going on up to Xmas an unexpected piece of surprise good news passed by without the congratulations deserved. Just before Xmas our apprentice photographer Nils submitted a selection of images to the SIFGP (Society of Internation Fashion and Glamour Photographers) for a mentoring program. The normal process is for them to assess the images then write back with a critique of the photos, along with advice on where improvement is needed before submitting for one of the professional awards.
Nils was braced for a shock when the letter arrived but not the one he received. It turned out that the reviewers were so impressed by the initial images they decide to skip the normal process and submit them directly for the Licentiate qualification. Which they passed with glowing comments.
So a belated congratulations to Nils Bratby LSIFGP.

Digital Memories CD
Quality CD Case (Gold Cd's not printed)
We would much rather sell you one of our high quality prints. We know what to look for to ensure a lasting product and can check the final quality before passing the print on to the customer. That way we ensure your portrait of loved ones or family pet is of the highest quality and displayed at its very best.We can also help you with your selection through sample products and even showing you how your choice of product could look on your own wall or in a fabulous album or coffee book.
We appreciate however that some customers may prefer to make that choice later, perhaps using a supplier they were happy with before. Others prefer to share the images online or add them to a digital frame. Indeed we get quite a few customers wanting images specifically for dating sites or social media. Continue reading
