Thanks for your comments. It isn't often as a photographer that you get told a shot of yours is inspiring. The lighting was actually very simple. It was a single flashgun, shot through an umbrella, held high (probably around 7 feet). Probably with more complex lighting, it would have lost the...

Thanks. Until a couple of years or so ago, I hdn't really done any proper portrait shoots, concentrating on nature photography, but this year, I've done more portraits than anything else (it's been a difficult year for me). A few weeks ago, I joined a site designed to get various creatives...

Thanks Ken. I'm actually in the middle of arranging another shoot with her, but just to keep you going, here's another from the same shoot. Heather Louise by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on Flickr

Sorry, took me a while to get back. Yes I did use filters, a combination of a Lee CPL and soft grads on the first two (the mountains prevented me using the Singh-Ray Revers Grad), it was a challenge with the mountains though and a blend would proably have been easier, but the challenge was too...

I did a shoot on Saturday at one of my landscape photography haunts. I've wanted to do some portraits there for a while. The lighting wasn't the best and the wind prevented off-camera flash, so I opted for natural light (even though the woodland shots needed ISO 6400). Here is a selection from...

Just realised, I never followed up on my photos to follow comment. Fiery Sunset over Loch Leven by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on Flickr Fiery Skies over Loch Leven by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on Flickr And one from a few years ago. Fire and Water by Kernuak...

I really must get back down to the jurassic coast, I haven't visited since I left Bournemouth about 13 years ago. Shots like this always serve as a reminder.

Thanks.

Compositionally, they work quite well. However, as already mentioned, watch the colour balance and don't oversaturate to the point that the landscape no longer looks real. The first two in particular are shifted towards the green/yellow quite a bit. Also, to ensure you maintain detail, it is...

Thanks Click.

Thanks.

They've got a sort of film noire look to them.

Tusen takk Eldar. Here's another one with bokeh, not to everyone's taste with the strong backlighting and blown highlights, but it was experimental and the idea was to create a mood, not get the best DR. Thinking of You by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on Flickr

I use Alamy, although I haven't sold any news licences and it will probably take a while before they're confident enough of your quality to allow you to upload without the usual checks. There are probably other news specific agencies also, but they may be harder to get into.

The top one looks to have a little more contrast, unless lighting changed slightly.

I went through a similar thought process when the 70-200 MKII first came out. I'd recently purchased a 300 (MkI, the MkII wasn't out) and was using that with a 1.4x extender, so the 100-400 was getting limited use. It didn't quite go to plan though, as the funds form the 100-400 went on a 24...
