    Diary of a Press Photographer

    Tuesday 13th August 2013 Evening, folks. Today has been a bit different; After covering a photocall I went to see one of my favourite comedians, Stewart Lee, who was hilarious as usual, and now I'm sat in Wetherspoon's dining solo before photographing Milton Jones tonight. Oh, the glamour...

    I'm down at the Edinburgh Festivals (Fringe, Book Festival and EIF) covering events each day for Getty Images, and I figured I'd make a little diary to keep a note of what I've been doing! Here goes... Monday 12th August 2013 The day started with a few hours of waiting around for Prince...

    Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 lacking contrast

    Music/Concert/Festival Photography Q&A

    Having problems with picture sharpness?

    Just something I've been doing recently... If you can't get good, sharp focus then use both the back focus button on your camera and the 'area selection' focus option. I know this is a well-known tip, but if you haven't tried it it's really worth it! I thought it would be difficult to get...

    Colour calibration frustration

    Hello all! I'm designing my website at the moment and I've been putting together a couple of portfolios. When I look at them on my main iMac monitor, they look nice and contrasty with good, vivid colour. However, when I drag them over to my secondary monitor they suddenly become washed out and...
