Birthday blog...
Hey everyone! Been a little while, but a really good month for me. Had a couple of great shoots which I will blog over the next couple of weeks hopefully (depending on the client more than anything else now) and keep getting more traffic through the site and more enquires. Google Ads are up as well so if you are searching for photographers whilst in the Swindon area you should see an advert for us which is starting to pull in some traffic.
Today is my birthday, so whilst enjoying the beautiful weather this afternoon we had a wonder through Coate Water’s Tree Collection. You might remember us at the entrance to it with Sarah and with Ransom and Mandy however this is the first time we have actually gone that bit further in to see what is down that path...
The biggest reason is my wife has never really used the off-camera flash, so today I took her through the basics of how to do that from scratch.
Before moving too far with the lesson, she rolled off this one as her first shot (after some experimentation to get the right exposure):

And it got better from there:


She then got a little bored so I had a play as well:




We are going to carry on practising off-camera flash as a personal project of ours this year, so I will set up a folder in our portfolio to keep track of what we have done.
Anyway.... two confirmed shoots over the next month and a bit and living in hope of a lot more! Take care, until next time!
