Tron, Shanghai After getting directions off Simon Bond for the location you see above, we set off to scope it out. As soon as we arrived at the front door of the apartment block, a security guard emphatically said ‘you’re not getting up there’. I’d read that the locals were annoyed by the increasing number […]

On Top of the Zenith Five attempts over the last year and a half to get on the roof of one of these buildings, and I finally managed it. It was worth the perseverance. I was a little bit worried about the conditions beforehand, as the government had issued high wind warnings. As we exited […]

For the past couple of months I’ve been reasonably absent from the Internet. One of the main reasons for that is Raya Pro. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this digital blending workflow panel. Since creating it, I haven’t stopped using Raya Pro in my workflow. I’ve even gone over old images […]

Leaving Dubai The bribe requested by security to access this roof was fairly typical in Dubai, we were told – 100 dirhams per person.

Golden Rays of an Eastern Sunrise There comes a point when a photographer begins to doubt the intentions of the weather gods. After four 4:00am wake ups, and four failed sunrise shoots, my faith was beginning to wane. As we slowly meandered to our usual spot, way up high on Victoria peak, it was too […]

Streaming Light Trails The drizzle and cloud greeted us once more on Victoria Peak at 4.30am this morning. This time we didn’t even take our cameras out. We sat for a couple of hours and watched the city wake up. Beboy was attacked by a 5-inch stick insect. I’m not sure ‘attacked’ is the right […]

For anyone wishing to learn how to process an image like this, please feel free to check out my Cityscape Tutorials Making the move to South Korea has been an interesting challenge. It feels wonderful to be back. I’d almost forgotten how brightly lit and busy the streets are, even at night. I missed this […]
