However good your images are it’s very unlikely anyone is going to come to you and ask to license them. If you can make a photo editor/journalist/designer’s job easier by delivering images to them on a platter, however,  your chances improve greatly. What started as a day out at the World Aerobatic Championships at Silverstone has resulted in my getting published in another magazine. This time it’s a double page spread...

Here are a few images from this years World Aerobatics Championships, hosted by Flying Aces at Silverstone. This was my first time photographing an event like this but it’s not unlike shooting motor racing – just less predictable movement! Shutter priority was the way to go to keep images sharp but retain some blur in the propellers. Depending on what the plane was actually doing, that ranged from 1/160th to 1/400th. I then...

I hope the images show how a little bit of effort in getting your speedlights off the camera can make a picture stand out, even when working quickly with very little kit in a grand...

This is great for photographers. There was a time when our images were only seen by the people we knew and saw on a regular basis or, if we were lucky, they’d be printed in a magazine. But now, we can get our work out there to millions of...
