I am a landscape photographer from the UK. Every week I go out on-location and make videos to try to inspire you to do the same.

The only way to get better at photography is to just get out and shoot! So this year, I will be taking you out with me as I photograph different scenes on location every Thursday.

2022 is all about landscape photography!

From nearly drowning my camera at Henrhyd Falls, to getting electrocuted on the Malvern Hills, it should be an entertaining year ... I'll also be teaching you something about photography every week in my videos.

My name is Mike Smith and I am a professional photographer and videographer. I have been a photographer since the mid 90's back when film was all the rage and I have been making short films and videos since 2008.

Have you ever thought about what the most important thing in your photograph is?
This is the basis of Visual Hierarchy, and it is a great thing to be conscious about so you know what the person looking at your photograph will look at first.

This is the first in a 10 part series on Composition in Photography coming over the next few months... and it's the most important thing in photography that will help YOU take better photographs.

North Wales is an amazing place to visit let alone photograph, and with so many different places to shoot, it can get really overwhelming, so this week, I share my top 7 places for awesome landscapes, whether you are a photographer or a sightseer!

I tested out all the latest L-bracket solutions for the A7iv and pretty much any camera with a flippy screen ... and the one that I thought would be the winner, was in fact the worst one out there. Check the video out to see how I got on. 😁👍

I'm curious, do you use an L-bracket and if so which one? (There are only 5 options available so let me know in the comments below if yours is not listed here).
In this weeks video, I try out the latest brackets for the Sony A7iv, check it out if you haven't seen it already: https://youtu.be/riydTFmQ4ow 😁👍

If you have ever wondered how to get very different looking photographs, you should try Long Exposure Photography. It is a lot of fun, not as hard as you might think... and it is exactly what I cover in this weeks video. from start to finish!! 😁👍
