Switching to a Mac On Saturday I bought a MacBook Pro. I’d been threatening to switch from PC to Mac for a while now. Those D800 files are big enough, but pile them on top of each other, along with a few adjustment layers and luminosity masks, and they quickly become a burden to the […]
Things to come in the next 12 months and after Korea Rachel and I have been discussing the next phase in our lives, after we leave Korea in February 2016. We plan on heading straight to Australia and New Zealand for 3 months, for some incredible landscape photography. After that, we may finally buy a […]
The Easy Panel is Back Please note: if you downloaded the Easy Panel early last week, we recommend you download and install it again. It was updated on Friday as some photographers had complained that the luminosity masks were generating very slowly. It is now up-to-speed and with some extra installation instructions! I’m thrilled to […]

Leaving Dubai The bribe requested by security to access this roof was fairly typical in Dubai, we were told – 100 dirhams per person. We were limited to 45 minutes, which meant we’d be very pushed for time when blue hour arrived. Nevertheless, despite the time restriction, we all came away with images we were […]
First Few Days in Dubai We arrived in the concrete jungle of Dubai on Friday afternoon and haven’t stopped shooting since. From winding junctions and terrifying buildings, to one of the most beautiful religious buildings in the world, our cameras have rarely worked so hard. It has all been made possible by the guys at […]
5 Weeks of Travelling Sunday marks the beginning of around 5 weeks on the road. The first two weeks my wife and I will be relaxing on the Philippine beaches of Boracay island. After that, however, it’s 100% photography. With 11 days in Dubai, and 11 days in Singapore and Malaysia, it is set to […]
