Photography Tips #14: Moving to Mirrorless
**Sorry for the no show I’ve had so much happen (all will be revealed) *** I haven’t really been posting photography related things recently, mainly due to the combination of working very long shifts and being in the awkward waiting transitional period of graduating and continuing my life as an adult… Camera equipment can be […]

Photography Tips #8: LAX to the MAX
After an action packed first week of lectures, matches, cheer and editing I can finally take a little extra time to reflect on my new experiences. The University has many many sports teams from sports I’ve never heard of like Korfball to the more common sports such as Football and also sports which I didn’t […]

Photography Tips #7: Netball
Heading back inside with the onset of rain, wind and cold, brings new and exciting challenges to me as a photographer. Last week I photographed my first BUCS Netball game.

Snapshots #1: Holding onto the Holidays

Photography Tips #6: Sheep and Showmanship
When I first got a bit more serious about equine and show photography, admittedly I brushed off the idea of photographing sheep and cattle showing. 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 other sheep that looks […]

Photography Tips #5: Running with more 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, being used to the smaller sides and faster pace.

Photography Tips #4: Rugby 7s
