Since my first Airshow back in June 2016 I have always wanted to shoot this event with a telephoto lens. A few years ago I purchased a Sigma 150mm to 600mm Contemporary lens. I can honestly say this lens did not disappoint! Although, I was quite happy at the time with my images from 2016 the upgrade in lens has been phenomenal. I have included an image slider to visually show the difference between a 200mm and a 600mm lens. Even though these aren’t shots of the same planes I think that the difference is easy to see.

As I explained in my original post from 2016, it is possible to produce a great set of images based on composition, creative photography and speed. The use of the telephoto lens doesn’t negate any of this. Indeed, using a telephoto lens has it’s own unique set of challenges especially when trying to frame up a fast moving object.

One of my favourite forms of photography is interior photography. This could range from high end interiors for magazines like ‘Beautiful Homes’ or classic shots for property including holiday lets. I have worked for Meero and Airbnb, so I was really excited when asked to photograph the Devonshire gem below. The owner had spent quite some time paying attention to detail and had turned the cottage into a beautiful characterful holiday let. What particularly struck me was the beautiful light that streamed in through the upper bedroom windows. This is the reason that I chose to shoot in a bright and breezy style. This was in contrast to my last interior shoot where my style was very different but worked equally as well with the kind of property being shot. Both owners were a joy to work with. Indeed, much of the pleasure I gain from this type of work, is ensuring I produce the right ‘look’. The rules around interior photography are quite interesting. It can often take some time crafting each image and balancing out exposures between underexposed interiors versus bright windows can be challenging. Some shots need bracketing to ensure all sensor data is present. I won’t […]
