My photography has, in recent years, been very much inspired by the Wiltshire Photographer, Robert Harvey. I have travelled with him on several of his tours, including his Dartmoor Tors and Hidden Valleys tour. This helped me move forward immensely with my landscape photography and inspired me to take better landscape images. This is still very much work in progress.
I also had the pleasure of doing my first wildlife tour with Robert on his Cairngorms Birds & Mammals tour.
In October 2019 I also travelled to Jordan with him on his Photographing Jordan tour.
2020 saw the postponement, due to COVID 19, of his Deserts of Namibia Photography tour. I still await the reopening of travel facilities to take this tour in the near future. Many other tours are also available.
I have also done an astrophotography workshop with Robert which got me started on this aspect of my photography. This is still very much a work in progress. I would recommend a visit to Roberts website using the links above.
Other photographers who have helped me along the way are:
Wildlife photographer, Tom Way
Astrophotographer Ollie Taylor whose detailed Beginners and Intermediate Course (available on line to download) in astrophotography has been a great learning experience for me.
Landscape, wildlife and astrophotographer, Guy Edwards. A recent webinar of his totally blew my mind with his photography of fungi. It's worthwhile checking it out.
Jan van der Greef is a Dutch photographer. Many of his images are inspired by the spiritual connection he feels between himself and his subject - expressed very often in the use of slow shutter speeds and in-camera-movement (ICM). He is a photographer I have recently discovered, and I enjoy trying my hand at a similar type of photographic image from time to time. You can see some of my efforts here. I'm not as expert as Jan in this kind of photography, but this is another part of my photographic journey.
A recent development during COVID lockdown has the establishment of Photography Experts (PE). PE facilitates webinars by professional photographers who discourse about themselves and their work. I have gained much inspiration from joining the webinars of these photographers.
