This week’s vlog on Landscape Photography Exploring France shows some of the Loir et Cher department along with the other Loir Valley. Yes, there is another Loir Valley but note the spelling. France has two rivers with the name but a different spelling. The Loire Valley with an e is the main river as well as encompassing the UNESC World Heritage Site. But there is a smaller river Loir which flows into the Loire. Confused? The Loir Valley is more […]

Sunday 7 February 2021 I make my way down to Chinon. The stunning castle that stands guard over the town below was the main reason for my dawn shoot. During a time lapse the castle was lit up briefly by the rising sun. Against the dark, brooding sky behind to the north east it was a nice moody backdrop. The rest of the day I was hoping for some nice changeable weather but it eventually closed in. But you know […]
How To Photograph Bad Weather 7 Tips for Landscape Photography is my latest video and gives you some ideas to think about. The weather has been pretty bad of late and so I thought that it may as well be embraced and provide some content for my channel.
Landscape Photography in the Loire. OK, so it’s not the most original title but I wasn’t sure what to call this. As the pandemic continues I need to concentrate on my commission. Working out all of the locations; when they can be photographed and what issues are likely to arise from them. This week’s vlog sees me back at the beginning of the Loire Valley. Photographing one of the beautiful castles at dawn. But not quite getting the light I […]
Bad weather. We’ve all heard the expression there is no bad light but I personally beg to differ. My first vlog back in the Loire Valley of France was blighted by bad weather. The weather forecasters on various sites were showing broken cloud and sunny spells but it was anything but what they showed.

The city of Salisbury is my home city. A city which I grew up in and know like the back of my hand. And this is especially so when it comes to photographing the beautiful cathedral. There are 4 locations in total. One of them you’ll have to research where I was but it shouldn’t be too difficult. But this is a vlog I shouldn’t have been making. Right now I should be back in France but circumstances state that […]
The Châteaux of the Loire are famous worldwide and rightly so. From old medieval fortresses such as those at Chinon to more stately castles dotted around the area they make great subjects for both landscape and travel photography. In this episode I show you three more castles in the Indre-et-Loire department of central France. All of them easily photographed from the roadside or can be visited. Now I know that one of the castles is no longer there apart from […]
