How to Create a Shot List for Stock

A shot list is exactly what it sounds like….a list of shots. Seems pretty basic? But how many of you actually make a list of the shots you would like to take, before you leave for your photo shoot or go on a photo vacation? Sure, you want to be spontaneous and react to special…

Monochrome Photography – A selection of images from our #ThursdayTheme

This week’s monochrome #ThursdayTheme is an epic one! Monochrome photography can be described as photography that shows different levels of black, white and grey etc within a photograph by exposing the differing levels of light in the image.

#FridayFoto this week is by Robert Taylor.

Here’s what Julie had to say about Robert’s’s image:
“Such a great example of what can be achieved with off-camera flash. That atmospheric sky would be totally lost without it.
The detail and contrast and the low, wide angle the image has been shot at make the bike look so impressive and imposing. It’s just how a bike lover would want his baby to be showcased.
I love the composition and the way the owner has been posed. He plays an important part but he doesn’t detract from the star of the show… the bike!
What a great image Robert! It would be great if you could talk us through your setup!”

Thank you so much for all your contributions.

Cold Weather Photography Essentials

While it might not officially be the winter season yet, it’s still a great time to start preparing for when the sub-zero degree temperatures hit. As photographers, it’s of the utmost importance to keep our gear safe and secure in the colder temperatures, not to mention ourselves. Having grown up in Northern Michigan, I know…

Mist Photography – A selection of images from our #ThursdayTheme

This time of year can often feel so dull and dreary but a misty morning can be a photographers dream! It’s not always an easy one to capture but our #TBT’s have, once again, shared some stunning moody, atmospheric misty images. Thank you to everyone who took part in this week’s #ThursdayTheme.

#FridayFoto this week was created by Chantal Macleod-Holdsworth and it’s a beaut!

Here’s what Julie had to say about Chantal’s’s image:
“Chantal never fails to take a new photograph for the theme each week. I’m not sure I’ve met many people more committed to their photography.
I’ve had the pleasure of watching her photography get better and better and better since she joined us two years ago and it’s all down to her constant practice with her beautiful dogs.
I love the low perspective here – it’s so much more interesting than if it was taken straight on or from above. Dedication is lying on the wet, mucky ground to get the shot, right Chantal?
But that reflection too! It’s awesome and I love that you have given both the subject and his reflection lots and lots of space to breathe.
There is a lot of atmosphere to this with the mist and the muted colours. And did I mention the composition? So much to love!
Thanks Chantal! Not just for sharing this but for always taking part with such imagination and enthusiasm.”

Thank you so much for all your contributions.
