Story behind the photo

Sunrise over the Selca valley (Selška dolina) Skofja Loka, Slovenia.

Best sunrise photo not quite what I had planned on the day

The best sunrise images are not always what you had planned. On this morning I had something different in mind, but got something far better.

Bled Lake always offers a unique moment

As I’m stuck in Ljubljana during the peak of the autumn colours and unable to get to Lake Bled, all I can do is reminisce on past autumn shots. Although Bled Lake is probably one of the most photographed locations in Slovenia, it never fails to provide a unique moment. Here I show you some from my Autumn in Slovenia Photography Workshop 2018.

Long Exposure at Saint Thomas Church

It’s important to be patient when doing landscape photography, but my patience was severely tested one morning. I almost missed this great long exposure shot at Saint Thomas Church.

Jamnik church of Saints Primus and Felician at dawn, perched on a hill on the Jelovica Plateau, Slovenia.

Jamnik Church in the mist

Jamnik church is a classic scene in Slovenia, and one I’ve photographed often; as you’ve likely seen. Typically it’s photographed with the great mountain Storzic behind it, but I wanted it in the mist…

Photography Tips

How a faulty lens helped me with Intentional Camera Movement

I started noticing a problem with my camera lens, but that problem, I was to discover, would actually be a huge help when it came to trying my hand at a technique known as Intentional Camera Movement (ICM).

View of the church of Sveti Josef (Saint Joseph) and the church of Saint Anna (Sveta Ana). Both churches are perched upon an exposed hill overlooking the Ljubljansko Barje (Ljubljana moors) near the village of Preserje.

Story behind the photo

Finding a new perspective

At first I was annoyed when the usual road to Sveta Ana church was closed and I was diverted through the village of Kamnik pod Krimom. But when I chanced upon this viewpoint showing both these churches in an adjacent setting, I forgave them. It just goes to show how driving around can reveal all sorts of different perspectives.
