A Race Around East Sussex

Ditchling Beacon, East Sussex. 06:54am. 31 August 2018 | How an unlikely morning in East Sussex turned into a beautiful layered dawn 
A Race Around East Sussex

Lens Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM

Exposure 1/400 sec, f/8, ISO100

One of the ways I produce different formats of imagery is not only by using the fabulous Canon crop modes, but by shooting panoramas. I carve up the results in the office with a nice cup of tea later that day. I have been doing this for quite a few years now as it saves me a lot of time when the conditions are changing quickly, or I really can’t work out the strongest part of the image.

It is the summer of 2018, and I head off to the South East to do some video presentation work for Canon. Alongside this I managed to attempt some photos of my own with a few targets in mind – Ditchling Beacon, a quick spin out to Bodiam Castle and then back to Worthing Pier. After a noisy night and a disastrous start, I nearly get locked into the pub accommodation whilst attempting to leave for a dawn shoot! I tried everything I could to work out how to unlock the front door, and in the end I climbed out of the commercial kitchen window.

Whether you want to capture a painting like the above, digitise old prints or reproduce any kind of canvas, there's real skill in capturing artwork with your camera. Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette. To reproduce the painting in print and digital form, it needs to be captured in the right way.
