Photography tips on winter garden photos – free images

img_7401-2

Picture 1 of 8

Here are some photos of frost which I took early in the morning to capture some winter images.   I was using a wide aperture to throw the background out of focus and for the grass images I was shooting into the sun to make the frost sparkle.

If you try this is you might find that frost like snow can fool your camera’s meter into thinking the scene is lighter than it is so your pictures may come out dark.  Using exposure compensation of one and a half stops usually works but the easy way is to just keep checking your histogram.

If you would rather use one of myimages than capture your own please contact me and I will send you a copy without the copyright logo. All I ask is that, where possible, you include a link back to this site please.

Was this helpful? Is there anything else you would like to know? Post a link in the comments box and I will get back to you with more details. Or feel free to leave your own tips on this subject as well.

Professional portrait for Mum’s 80th

SistersThese two lovely sisters Bridget and Sue came into the studio today.  They wanted a professional photo of themselves to go on canvas to give to their Mother on her 80th birthday next month.  We had a lot of fun taking the photos and thank you ladies for letting me share this photo on my blog.  It really makes me smile.

Baby bump shoot

IMG_9750Photographing someone when they are pregnant is such a pleasure and a privilege.  However, it isn’t often I get a chance to show these images as many Mums To Be  prefer to keep their photos for themselves and their partners.  I was delighted when my recent client said she was happy for me to add hers to the website.  I am sure you will agree she looked truly radiant.

Flowers as a thank you from Furze Platt Year 13s

IMG_0563

I have been off my feet for a while due to an operation so I couldn’t do my photo of the day either.  However, I am back in action and have been busy making up for lost time.  Last week my daughter and I photographed the Furze Platt prom at Legoland in Windsor.   It was a lovely surprise when these flowers arrived as a thank you.
