Tutorial: Long Exposures and Slow Shutter Speeds
Tutorial: Long Exposures and Slow Shutter Speeds When you’re first starting out with Photography, the concept of long exposures and slow shutter speeds seems like a strange myth that you are determined to uncover the answers to.

The Beginning of an Adventure
The Beginning of an Adventure On September 19th, 2017, I left home for the first time in my life, to travel the world. Not only was it the longest I would have ever spent away from my friends, family and the town where I was born, it was also the furthest away from home I have ever been. I specifically remember sitting back in my airplane seat just after take-off, staring out the window as the jet engines whistled through the tumbling clouds, wondering why the nerves hadn’t
My 2017
My 2017 It is safe to say that 2017 has been one of the happiest and most successful years of my life. I have met wonderful people and shared some unforgettable moments with them. I have begun a dream to travel across the world, while capturing some of those “once in a lifetime” photos that I will look back on in 20 years time and still be proud of taking. 2017 has also been a year of progression for me. My photography skills and experiences have come
