Happy New Year! How are the resolutions going? This year I decided to come up with a weekly photo challenge, a New Year Photo Challenge, to keep myself on my toes photo-wise.

A Guide to Bokeh
The days are getting shorter, the nights colder and darker, to top it off, it is somehow still 2020. It’s getting to the festive season meaning that all the pretty lights are coming out both in the house and on the streets. It is always a treat to see, and more fun to capture! This post is to inform and help with getting that all aesthetic Bokeh effect and add a little more magical sparkle to your holiday pictures!
Night Time Sports Photography
What is more exciting than taking pictures of men’s rugby? Taking them at night, under floodlights. And if that is not good enough? Add some heavy rain. Time for some Night Time Sports Photography! If you missed my last rugby posts, find there here: Following Welshpool’s rugby team to Shrewsbury initially, I assumed I wouldContinue reading “Night Time Sports Photography”
My Holiday in Normandy
Over the last few weeks, nothing really has happened on this blog as I’ve been living it up in the beautiful French countryside. Due to the nature of my holiday, I didn’t really take many horse or sport-related photos but plenty of landscapes. So I give to you my first landscape and holiday post! IContinue reading “My Holiday in Normandy”
Sheep In Hand Photography
When I first got a bit more serious about equine and show photography, admittedly I brushed off the idea of photographing sheep and cattle shows. I put this mainly down to my ignorance of not exactly understanding the showing of these animals, and definitely not understanding how one sheep is better than another sheep that looksContinue reading “Sheep In Hand Photography”
How to Take Photos of Rugby
With the rugby season creeping ever closer with pre-season friendlies in full swing, I got the pleasure to tag along to a Welshpool game. My experience with rugby photography has been strictly restricted to rugby 7s. Rugby 7s is a game that is shorter, has fewer players, and generally has a faster pace. Being used toContinue reading “How to Take Photos of Rugby”
Rugby Sports Photography
As I mentioned in my first post, I’ve had some experience with sports photography, especially with rugby.

In this post, I’m going to talk about equipment I recommend and settings,Continue reading “Rugby Sports Photography”

I was working with their equipment, in this instance, a NikonContinue reading “How to Take Great Show Jumping Photographs”
Student Life and Sport
Balancing Student Life and Sport is a fine art. University requires long hours of study and lectures. But you can’t be sititng around all day. It’s been a while since now since I was riding every week and seeing all these horse shows and posts from my friends with horses have me craving to getContinue reading “Student Life and Sport”
Becoming an Equine Photographer
The path to becoming an equine photographer is much like any other niche. To be successful in any area you need to have the three basics: Without these three essentials any plans to work in that sector you might as well throw away. This is especially with my understanding so far of Equine sports photography.Continue reading “Becoming an Equine Photographer”

Update from 2022: Coming back to revise my older posts is such a fun journey. From amateur sports photographer to full-time media professional! To see how I have come in this small amount of time is crazy! “You seem good with a camera, you should photo some matches” The first time I realized that sportsContinue reading ““Amateur Sports Photographer””
