In his recent video, landscape photographer, Nigel Danson asked viewers to edit one of his RAW images and send it back to him. He supplied three to choose from and I picked a great shot of Snowdonia to edit.

I was fairly new to printing my own images at the time, but since the video went out I’ve been doing a ton of research and tests. I’m now set up with some really great papers and accurate ICC profiles for the printer.
So I’m pleased to announce that three of my best images are now available to buy through my website.
(more…)Earlier this month, Zay Yar Lin was announced as the Amateur Photographer of the Year, 2020. I’m a big fan of his work and he is a very worthy winner.
By day, he works as the Captain of a ship, but manages to find enough time to capture some fantastic images, two of which won rounds in this year’s APOY competition. He was announced overall winner with 77pts, just above Tony North in second place with 66pts.

I’ve been wanting to get one for a while and have read quite a few different reviews for various models. From what I read, it seemed the Epson XP-970 would make an excellent value printer. Perhaps not quite as good as some of the options sitting around the £400-£600 mark, but certainly punching above its own £200 price tag.
So far I haven’t been disappointed – the prints are coming out great. The detail is really good and I’m really happy with the colours. I’m currently experimenting with different papers to see what gives the best results.
It’s really convenient to be able to print your own images whenever you feel like it, and it feels great to be able to hold something tangible that you created. I certainly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already.
I will be posting further experiments with the printer in upcoming videos, so stay tuned for those. The best way to do that is to subscribe to my channel, and that way, the videos will pop up in your feed.
