Prints Now Available

My migration over to Photoshelter is now complete. Having said that, the archive will continue to grow!
All of my images on my Photoshelter site are available for purchase as prints. If you’re a lover of photography or in need of a unique gift, feel free to have a browse. I hope that you’ll find something to your taste!
If you know of anyone who may be interested in prints, please pass on the address:


Many thanks.

Photoshelter Slideshow

BJP Vision

Now in its 9th year, BJP’s (British Journal of Photography) Vision is on at November 7, from 10am to 5pm at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London.


There’s a host of exhibitors there, so it’ll be a good chance to see some of the kit from Photokina.


I’ll be there doing portfolio reviews in the afternoon from 2pm ’till 5pm, so if you think I may be of help, book your spot now. Do remember though to keep it a tight edit as the time slots are 15 minutes per photographer.

Sign Of The Times

Well, its a sad state of affairs. The credit crunch is all around and is going to get worst. Most freelancers are feeling the pinch as their news shifts get cut in numbers and commercial work slows down.

One early casualty has been Digital Railroad with whom I’ve had my archive for a while. They suspended operations on October 28 and it looks like members have until October 31 to access their archives.
Photoshelter has come to the rescue offering photographers a way of transferring their archives straight from DDR to their servers. I must admit to trying this four times and failing on all attempts. The best I could do was get little thumbnails saying image not present. You may have had a better result. In the end I ended up transferring everything from my Mac. Another good example of back everything up!
If you have a DRR account, you should have received an email from them and also from Photoshelter who are offering an extra three months membership for anyone migrating from DRR. If you haven’t, I strongly urge you too look into the situation and come up with an action plan.
My only worry is that if the DRR is liquidated, what happens to all the images on their servers? I can’t see the liquidation company taking time to securely erase all data before selling off the hardware. I urge everybody with a DRR account to contact Diablo Management Group and urge them to securely erase all customer data and image data: DRRinfo@diablomanagement.com

Nikon D90 & Shooting Video

Camcorder Info have done a very thorough review of the video shooting capabilities of the Nikon D90. The D90 is the first DSLR which has a video shooting mode, covering 1280 x 720 HD. Shortly after the Nikon D90 announcement, Canon launched the 5D MkII which also shoots video. However, there are major differences; the Canon shoots at full HD and has a microphone jack alongside its built in microphone.

One of the major issues with the D90 is the way it introduces wobble when the camera is panned.

I’m hoping that Camcorder Info will also follow up with a review of the 5D MkII. We’ve seen the stunning results it achieves when shooting video in the hands of Vincent Laforet, but it would be interesting to see what a video camera review site thing of the Canon.
