Cold Weather Photography

This week, we’re going back to basics with winter photography aperture 101. What is it? How does it work? And why is it important? Aperture is one of the three pillars of photography and if you can master it, you'll be well on your way to a manual shooting pro! 

Favouring the colder more dramatic climates, Pedro Kin chases the lights unfazed by the conditions. A Portuguese landscape photographer based in Slovakia, we had been talking with Pedro about some of his adventures. 

I have jumped ship (or at least have a foot on both ships) over to the mirrorless side. I have added the Sony A6300 to the setup for both filming and photography. I have to say, this isn’t a review of the camera but instead my thoughts of using the Sony out in the field.

If you have ever thought about making an income with your winter photography I’m happy to tell you that this is possible. Let's face it, Gear is expensive, traveling to great destinations to experience and photograph the landscape is expensive, heck traveling full-stop costs money. The ability to have your photography fund your adventures is a hell of an opportunity.

We know your priorities are to find a glove that is functional with compromising on warmth and durability. With so many options to choose from, how do you know which gloves are the best for photography? We break down each glove to help you find your perfect fit.

Volcanos, hot springs, crater lakes and the rugged coast are just some of the things to explore, but there is so much more and I am excited to return this winter. Last winter was my first in the northern island of Hokkaido, and amongst enjoying the deepest powder turns of my life, I enjoyed the challenges and opportunities to photograph this beautiful land in the deep winter season.

 

Iceland is one of the most popular countries for landscape photographers. Before you pack your backpack and race off, read through these 5 things you should know before your photography trip to Iceland, and make sure you are ready for an epic adventure.

When you can go anywhere on a photography trip, where do you go? Based in Europe and always balancing the budget we decided a Scotland photography trip was a good choice. Josh Mirravalles gives us his awesome trip journal of photographing the beautiful country of Scotland. 

We are heading to The Photography Show in the U.K, Come and join us! For the fourth year now, the photography show will be hosted at the NEC in Birmingham, U.K, between 18-21 March. It’s going to be an exciting four days. We’re excited to show off our collection and also check out the latest technology from leading photography brands.

Technically, 'good shots' have it all, composition and exposure are correct however they lack the "oh, damn" effect. Does this sound familiar in your photography? Perhaps I am just talking from a personal standpoint but I wonder why I can't take shots like these guys all the time? How do you execute and what is the recipe for coming home with the prize every time?

The meteor shower happens every August. This August the show was extra good with up to 200 meteors every hour instead of the usual 80-100. The short of it is; There is a comet circling through our solar system leaving behind a dust trail, and every year at the same time, earth’s orbit enters into this dust trail where low and behold, the night sky erupts. Read on to see how I photographed the Perseid meteor shower.

Whilst adrenaline junkies flooded into town by the van loads, we got the camera gear ready for some good old-fashioned extreme sports photography. We joined the excitement, we shot, we competed, we partied and now we want to share the value we found in such an event.
