A very happy Christmas & our best wishes for a brighter & better 2021 from the Going Digital team. Here's the last of our images for the year. Some toning work was done in post with a snowy layer added. f7.1, 1/1600, ISO 160, -1 step exp comp Louise Mills buff.ly/3a1hCHv

These are 3 shots of the same subject, taken on one of our photo walks. I always encourage students not to just snap one shot of something and then move on, but to work with the subject, see it from different angles & shoot different crops. Louise Mills buff.ly/3a1hCHv

When out and about I stress the importance to look all around you, if you look up what is above you; a mirrored ceiling on Oxford Street Settings: Fuji X-T2 and Fujinon lens 35mm f1.4 at f4, ss500 & ISO 1600. Sara Melhuish buff.ly/37fypEL

Settings for the shot were 1/500s, f4, ISO 2000, using a 500mm lens. These sessions are for just 2 students with expert tuition from experienced wildlife photographer and tutor Laura Galbraith. buff.ly/2IOZscG

Both images were taken moments apart with the one change being where I chose to focus. I like to use this image when I am teaching to demonstrate how the same elements in a scene can tell a different story depending upon where the eye is drawn buff.ly/37fypEL
