Use AI to better your Photography

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized photography, fundamentally changing how we approach image capture. While much attention has been given to AI’s ability to generate images, this post will focus on how AI can empower beginner photographers and boost their confidence to participate in photography competitions. Reflecting on my past experiences as a member of the Preston Photography Society (2008-2010) and the Romford Camera Club (2015-2016), I recall the excitement of photography competitions. Back then, I often wished for an AI companion to provide feedback on my photos—whether it was about improving framing, enhancing colors, or adjusting contrast. With […]

Bee collecting nectar

This delightful insect is a bee! It’s busy collecting nectar from the white daisy-like flower with its brown and black banded body. The slightly transparent wings allow it to hover gracefully as it goes about its important work. The vibrant yellow center of the flower provides a sweet reward for our hardworking bee friend. Remember, bees play a crucial role in pollination, helping plants reproduce and ensuring a healthy ecosystem. So let’s appreciate and protect these little pollinators! For those interested, I used a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-70mm L lens and a 31mm Extension Tube Set for […]

Teaching My 6-Year-Old Daughter The Art of Photography: A Cozy Home Studio Experience

As a parent, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as sharing a passion with your child. For me, that passion is photography, and I recently had the pleasure of teaching my 6-year-old daughter the basics of using a camera. We set up our cozy home studio at Ozgo Productions and got to work. I started by taking photos of her and my wife, trying out different outfits. Shortly after, she took over. I showed her how to zoom in and out, adjust the aperture, and frame a subject. It was amazing to see how quickly she picked up on everything and […]

Macro Photography

Macro Photography (photographing small objects to make them look larger in the photo) is a form of photography that I always liked but never had the tools to do… properly. To get the ball rolling I finally decided to get an entry-level macro lens and start experimenting. This lens is not even available anymore but you might find similar products. One of the first images captured with this lens was in my garden behind the shed where this garden spider with a white cross on its back was hanging out. (no pun intended). I have to admit that I am […]

Newborn photo session

Diana was born on Friday, 26 August 2016 at Queen’s Hospital in Romford at 7:05 am. When she was only two days old she has her first photo session. The next photo session at 3 weeks old when aunt Victoria and grandma came to visit. The third photo session was at 6 weeks old, and you can easily see how much she has changed.
