Review: Giottos Rocket Blower
I first looked at the Giottos Rocket Blower (and took it seriously) because we use Giottos tripods and think the workmanship is great. So you would hope for this to be good too even though it looks weird. And then there is the price – at around £17 it seems very pricey for a blower. You can get it cheaper … Read More
How To Photograph Fireworks
Learning how to photograph fireworks can be a lot of fun. There is an amazing opportunity to use long, slow exposures to create beautiful light trails bursting with colour. Practice. If you have never photographed at night practice using your camera in the dark before the fireworks display. This will give you time to get used to using your camera … Read More

Cool Photography on London’s South Bank
While London basks in sunshine we keep our cool during the heatwave. The South Bank is full of amazing photographic opportunities.

Rooms appear when the water … Read More
