DSLR Camera Course Wiltshire

Today I gave my second DLSR Camera Course! Mark, Dawn & Leena couldn’t have chosen a nicer day to walk around Roves Farm and learn about the workings of their respective cameras.

After having a quick chat over a coffee, we set off on a short walk along the fields and got stuck straight into the how a lens and aperture works. No complicated or scientific descriptions

Another glorious day for an Openspace Portrait just outside Swindon, Wiltshire. Roves Farm is such a great place to photograph in as there are so many different places to go.

The wild flower meadows are the perfect place to run through and capture some fun images.

No setup here, just a straight simple capture. This is what a natural portrait session is like at Openspace Photography.

The Simpkins were looking to update their walls with something other than white studio shots that everybody seems to have. An Openspace Portrait session is full of the colours of nature.

It was a baking hot June, so once we had some great pictures in the wild flower meadows at Roves Farm, we moved to the woods and I captured some magical images in the shade of the two sisters.

I used my famous Lens Baby to capture this natural portrait. No photoshop here!

Jamie & Sam come to Roves Farm lots. They are full of energy, laughter & are typical brothers! Photographing them was such fun and a pleasure. And I think from the images below you can see that too.

17th June is my Birthday and Nicole decided to book a family portrait session at Roves Farm - another of my favourite photography places! It was an emigrating present for both sets of parents and a reminder of England for Steve & Nicole. We had a such a fun time climbing the old trees, blowing bubbles and hitting them with a bat. Something you just cannot do in a studio, which is why my clients and I love the outdoors!

Who is having more fun here then!

We finished off the shoot with a simple family portrait under the shade of the old oak. What better way to encapsulate England. All the best downunder!

This was such a happy Openspace Portrait session. The Seward’s were in the process of moving abroad and Mum wanted a present for Dad. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The star of the show is the person you cannot see though, it’s the girl Aunt. She made them both giggle and laugh pretty much throughout the 1hr session. You always get out what you put in…

This was the first attempt at using my new Lens Baby. The stars are part of the lens and not added afterwards in any program. A fantastic capture of a natural smile. An image I still use now for promotion.

Three cousins taken at Roves Farm during the school summer holidays. They were brilliant and as you can see we all had so much fun. Lot’s of running around and jumping onto each other!

Every portrait session with Openspace Photography has a special moment, this is one of them. I was photographing the two sisters by themselves and their cousin decided he wanted some of the limelight, so jumped on them. The resulting picture is a natural image full of smiles.
