If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!How I’m getting more out of Flickr I have a free account with Flickr at the moment. And I am finding more and more ways that Flickr can help my photography skills and my communication and networking with others. I have found that Flickr groups are great for this, and makes Flickr a truly interactive photo sharing site.

How I’m getting more out of Flickr I have a free account with Flickr at the moment.

I have found that Flickr groups are great for this, and makes Flickr a truly interactive photo sharing site. It was just a case of choosing a group or groups that I wanted to join and then I could join in with the discussions and submit photos or do the challenges. Finding other photographers and commenting... [Read the full story]

Image Sensors are the nitty gritty end of the digital camera. Basically the digital version of film. But just as there are lots of different types of film that you can buy, there are also lots of different types (or sizes) of image sensors, and this can be important when choosing a digital camera. What is an Image Sensor: An Image Sensor is a device that converts an optical image to an electric signal. It is used mostly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is a set of charge-coupled devices (CCD) or CMOS sensors... [Read the full story]

This week in image of the week The Tall Ships race started today from Liverpool as part of Liverpool’s celebrations for being the Capital of Culture 2008. This photograph was taken on Saturday when we went over to Liverpool to visit the Tall Ships in Albert Dock. The Tall Ships last visited Liverpool in 1984 and 1992, so it’s been 16 years since they were last here. Wow that makes me feel old! So I was really pleased when I saw that they were coming this year, and made sure that I went to see the Parade of Sail... [Read the full story]

Camera Colour Features v’s Photoshop
February 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment
My camera has an option to change the colour settings of the camera to full colour, black & white or sepia. So I went out to give them a try as I have’nt used them before. These three photographs are the result. It was a dull day and it was raining so I picked a subject that was full of colour to give greater contrast. I used to sometimes shoot in black and white film on my old camera so it’s nice to be able to just flick between the two (colour and black and white) whenever I feel like it. Although the detail...

Finding a Good Photography Project
July 11, 2008 · 1 Comment
There are loads of good photography projects around. There are a couple of regular ones on blogs that I follow that I like to take part in, like at Neil Creek’s blog. But he hasn’t got one on this month so I’m looking for something new to try. I also take part in some Flickr group projects that I’ve joined recently which are normally weekly, and then there’s always my Project 365, so doing something else as well could be too much. But I’ve just come across a new site called Photo Challenge... [Read the full story]

Welcome To The New Look TPB
July 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment
Welcome to the new look for The Photographer Blog, it’s a completely new design for the blog making it more of a ’site’ than just a blog on it’s own. Which will give me the opportunity to display more content easier, and allow me to add some new features as well. It’s taken a while to choose the design and decide on how things were going to look, but I am very pleased with the result. There are still some tweaks to be made but I wanted to get it back online as soon as possible. Some of the new... [Read the full story]
