10 years ago today I was in Myanmar. Experiencing the famous sunrise over the temples in Bagan, everything seemed so calm and peaceful. Also 10 years ago today one of the deadliest cyclones hit the South of Myanmar. This is a story I’ve told many times although I still have troubles getting to grips with the sheer numbers involved. My first knowledge of the cyclone was after I heard that a storm had hit the capital, Yangon, and knocked out […]
Last week I gave my first every live webinar! I was slightly nervous as I knew there would be several hundred people watching!! Because it was live I needed to be careful, as there’s no option to edit the bad bits out :| That adds a fair amount of pressure too. I think in the end it turned out just fine, although the sound isn’t perfect. If you are interested in the future of post-processing this might be worth checking out. I’ll […]
I know, I know, Easter was nearly a month ago and it’s taken me this long to do my write up and post some photos. What can I say? I’m a photographer, my thing is capturing moments not writing about them, but I do my best! The truth is that I had an amazing Eastern stay in Bormio. Bormio is a beautiful little town in the Alps in northern Italy. Apart from its gorgeous scenery, it has a lot more to offer, slopes for […]

I’m sitting here, in a small town on the outskirts of Milan, wondering where the last 6 months have gone. Then I came to draw this map and it all came back to me. 5 countries (bonus points if you can name them), thousands of kilometres and countless cups of coffee. THE ROUTE The first stop in Italy was in the small coastal city of San Remo which has a charming old neighbourhood with twisty narrow streets, colourful houses and cosy cafes […]
OK, so lots of people ask me the same question “How do I get a Guru Pick?“. I say ask but there has also been a fair amount of begging, bribery and even a little blackmail (I’ll tell you about it over a beer one day). Soccer betting and slovenia roster fans love to take pictures of their favorite players in action on the field. They also enjoy taking pictures of themselves with their friends at the game. Soccer betting fans are […]
I’m back again with another Gurushots tip this time lets look at watermarks. First of all, what is a watermark? They are text or graphics that are placed on top of a photograph in an attempt to protect the image from copyright violations. The text or graphic generally contains the name of the photographer. The creator of the work is then clearly visible and known and can, therefore, be contacted if anyone wants to use the photo commercially. It is also thought […]
Before I share my final photos from last month in Romania let me update you on where we are right now. As you can see from the map below, we’ve just crossed the border and are currently in the South of France. A place most British people associate with really hot weather and long summer holidays. Let me tell you things seem to be pretty much the same in the winter too. Blue skies and bright sunshine have kept us warm so far. It’s a […]
