  1. Creative Exposure | Light Vision

    2025-03-03 23:28:49 UTC

    Over the last few days and journal entries, I have experienced a breakthrough in my understanding of creative exposure. The different metering options confused me in the past. This is why I simply left it on Matrix and forgot about it. Matrix Metering does a great job so I did…

  2. Spotting The Light

    2025-03-01 21:59:08 UTC

    Creating images at night has become a lot more interesting. Spotting the Light is my game and play on words because I have better understanding of what is going on in my camera regarding the Metering process. During the day light hours, I can choose between Matrix Metering or Centre…

  3. Creative Exposure | Light Magic

    2025-02-27 20:59:02 UTC

    My photography has entered a new stage of learning. A creative exposure begins long before the camera comes to my eye. Ironically, the images begins in my minds eye. Seeing, feeling the quality and direction of the Light and then, this is the magic moment, capturing the "feeling" of the…

  4. Gratitude For What I Have

    2025-02-27 10:23:11 UTC

    The image above was created with my D7200 and the DX35mm 1.8G The Camera combination is quite frankly fantastic. The D7200 was hailed for its low light ability.I love the way it feels and functions not to mention the image quality. The technology has improved beyond all recognition now. When…

  5. A Frame Worthy Moment

    2023-02-12 20:06:08 UTC

    This is a worthwhile consideration. What is a “Frame Worthy Moment”? Imagine this; before digital, my roll of Film came with either 12, 24 or 36 possible Exposures or Frames waiting to be exposed to Light. Every Frame was valuable because every Frame cost money to develop. My Digital SD…

  6. 2014 | The Lady and The Dolphin

    2022-09-21 18:58:30 UTC

    I started my first experiments in Long Exposure Photography around 2014. My Camera at that time was Nikon’s D90. I really loved that Camera - I regret selling. It delivered some of my best images. At that time, I was studying with Bryan F Peterson through his Book “Understanding Exposure”.…

  7. 16 | The Golden Rule

    2022-06-27 18:49:17 UTC

    Inspired again by my friend and teacher, Bryan Peterson; his new Book on Street Photography is fantastic. I have learnt so much from studying his Books. My biggest learning has been understanding the full range of creative exposure. What was once a complex issue, has now become as effortless as…

  8. The Light At Night | Pt lll

    2021-10-30 17:34:22 UTC

    I checked what time the sun would set for today; 17:38pm. This was very important because once the Sun sets, my window for the Blue hour would be very short. There wasn’t much traffic to begin with. I had to be patient. Getting the timing right is easy enough, just…

  9. Spot The Difference

    2021-08-25 10:07:40 UTC

    Spot Metering. It has taken me this long to understand it. I can’t explain why it confused me. The technical language behind its functionality is probably the cause of my co fusion. Once I grasp a concept, I practice like there’s no tomorrow, just to lock it in my mind…

  10. X-Pro1 | Understanding Exposure

    2021-08-23 16:06:20 UTC

    I have been reading many reviews and watching a few videos on YouTube about the merits of the X-ProI in 2021. This Camera was released in 2012. The Technology in this Camera is now considered old compared to the X-Pro System that Fuji has update in the last ten years.…

  11. XPro-1 | 52 Assignments - Cont

    2021-08-21 11:50:28 UTC

    I am still on the first Assignment. I felt the need to practice and consolidate my learning. These images were created by paying attention to the Light and where the light was falling. Also, I have been using Spot Metering, to target a specific area to ensure good exposure. Spot…

  12. XPro-1 | Reflections

    2021-08-19 11:08:22 UTC

    I am now reflecting on my photographic journey since 2013. This year is significant for me because I was in China and had The Nikon D90 with the 18-105. I regret selling that camera. What was I thinking? Dam it… My reflection is now based on the complexity of modern…

    2018-12-19 22:06:10 UTC

    It’s Winter Wonderland in London right now. This was a perfect excuse to sign up for a workshop on Long Exposure image creation this evening. This workshop was organised by Andrew Mason of 36 Exposure. Andrew provides great training for Photographers covering virtually all disciplines. Tonight it was pitch black-…
