There’s a lot of tosh written about decent studio portraits always requiring five lights. Yes, sure most of us use them from time to time, but it is altogether more satisfying to see how few we really do require to nail all the required elements.
We have been experimenting with one light for quite a while. Perhaps an obvious choice for low-key lighting. We will often use a single side facing main light with a black panel between it and the white backgorund to achieve some quite pleasing results. Add a reflector on the other side of the subject to brighten up those really dark shadows, and it starts to look good. Continue reading »

Sports photography isn’t for everyone and you need to have an interest in sports if you want to look at being a photographer for sports or action shots. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t learn the ins and outs of sports photography and apply it to your normal daily photography techniques.
Sports photography most of the time is best applied with fast shutter speeds and a tripod to accompany it if possible. The tripod is merely to give your arms a rest while whole chunks of time pass by without anything happening. The tripod also helps if you want to use a technique called panning. In this technique you keep the camera firmly rooted on the vertical axis and pan, or move the camera from one end to the other on the horizontal axis. Continue reading »

Wildlife photography requires a combination of camera skills, timing and patience. One essential aspect is often forgotten: knowing how to use the light to get the best results from your wildlife photos.
To take a top-class wildlife photograph, you need to know your animal; where to find it, how to approach it without scaring it away, and how to know the precise moment to press the button to capture the character of the subject. Often a wildlife photographer will spend hours trying to get a good shot. What a shame, then, if all that effort is wasted by taking your photo in bad light.
As a nature photographer, I have learned that the ideal light for a photo can vary depending on the subject. Landscape photos are usually best photographed in sunny weather, early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the contrast is low and the light is soft and colouful. On the hand, rainforest photography is usually best in the middle of the day, in cloudy weather to eliminate extremes of light and shade. To understand the best lighting for wildlife photography, you can take a lesson from both landscape and rainforest photography. Continue reading »
