Mike Chesworth Photography

Over the last few weeks, life has got in the way of shooting. I, like many of my fellow photographers, do this as a hobby, and have a day job to support the photography.

We are at that funny time of year where it gets lighter later and darker earlier, and the perfect time to go out shooting is probably the time when you’re at your desk, grafting away to fund that next photography trip(Unless you are lucky enough to do this full time, then good on ya!) . Here are a few pointers to squeeze in a bit of photography during the day.

I’ll be the first to confess that there are days, when I don’t feel like going out shooting, days where I go out and that feeling doesn’t get me and I go home with shots that are a bit meh!

One of the techniques I use to get me out taking pictures is to plan a project or at least go out with some sort of plan of what I want to shoot. I find by doing this, I don’t waste hours trying to find a composition or place to shoot. Let’s discuss how a project helps me find inspiration in my photography.

As I browse the web, the biggest frustration that I see with Instagram is that you can only post on a mobile phone. Yes, Instagram has made it very hard for a photograph to be uploaded using a desktop browser, but it isn’t impossible. Let me show you how to post to Instagram using a Desktop.

I don’t confess to being an expert when it comes to photography, but I’m not quite a beginner. I would call myself an enthusiastic amateur. In this post, I’m going to share 4 things that I wish I knew before I started photography.

I’ll be honest that I have been struggling with motivation to take pictures or create vlogs lately. I am not sure if its the early morning sunrises or late sunsets, but I have just not been feeling it lately. So I thought I would write about my process in getting back into shooting.

At the beginning of the year I came across this vlog from Nigel Danson in which he discusses some of his photography ideas to start the new year. I’ll be honest that I had a bit of photographers block over christmas after producing some great images and vlogs. I was looking for some inspiration to get me started in 2019. Lets get to discussing how I scrapbook and print my images more.
