Working Through Photography Block

Struggling with photography block, unable to pick up my camera and feeling unmotivated to take pictures, I gave myself a challenge to spend one week with one lens: my canon 50mm f1.8. I had to explore different styles of photography, including street and documentary photography. Everyday I went out and took some pictures, let’s see how that went…

Amazing Sunrise and Night Shots in Como

I went straight to photograph the Temple Volta in the Park in Como, Italy today. I knew I wanted to get some landscape photography done with this temple as my subject both illuminated at night and with some natural light. The night images had to be created using exposure blending in Photoshop, but turned out brilliant. And I was treated to a very colourful sunrise!

Photographing Black and White Trees in Como

Heading through Como once again, I couldn’t see any architectural compositions but once I made it to the park on the shores of Lake Como, I found my subject: the trees illuminated by the street lamps. The perfect subject for some black and white landscape photography. A great morning of photography!

Wandering the Snowy Streets of Como

An early morning wandering through the streets of Como, Italy, I was looking for subjects to photograph. The dramatic lighting of the street lights on the old Renaissance architecture leant itself to some interesting street photography. I made it to a viewpoint on Lake Como where I got some great classic landscape photography images.
