New Year Photo Challenge
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. Additionally to stay creative. 2020 just drained all creative energy from me… And I don’t want that to happen again so it isContinue reading “New Year Photo Challenge”
Canon EOS 7dii Review
What an amazing outcome. After the untimely (but fixable) death of my Canon EOS 6d, I managed to acquire, one of the arguably best sports cameras Canon produce the Canon EOS 7dii. This update from the 7d has all the features the 7d had but is augmented to a modern platform. My review of theContinue reading “Canon EOS 7dii Review”

Being an unconventionally British sport, American Football is steadily growing in popularity in the U.K. Mainly based at universities and community teams, the sport combines the best bits of speed, hard hits, and strategy.

It’s hard for socialContinue reading “Bar 46 New Bar in Aberystwyth”
AUE Equestrian Photogtaphy
A little post about the trials and the start of the season with AUE Equestrian Photogtaphy. It is so good to be back in the arena with horses dancing around you.

Lacrosse Sports Photography
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. This week with some Lacrosse Sports Photography.

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. Being at a Welsh university it’s hard to not be involved in the sport one way or another albeit playing, spectating, refereeing, or taking photos. In this post, I’m going to talk about equipment I recommend and settings,Continue reading “Rugby Sports Photography”

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!
