When transport gets extreme, I start to get travel sick. I'm fine in a car, and in the past, put me in a helicopter I’m all good too, but if you put me in a helicopter with a camera, then within 10 minutes I'm white as a sheet!
It's springtime and Rachel and I have gone to the Netherlands to stay with Arjan, a good photography friend of mine. The trip is about visiting as many record shops as possible, as well as photographing some of the Netherlands most beautiful cities. The bonus add-on is photographing tulips and grape hyacinths that grow in abundance in the surrounding countryside. We are also heading to the Keukenhof, a beautiful garden complex which has some great opportunities for flower and garden photography. It is a renowned horticultural extravaganza and a chance for me to get some greeting card images.
I have my usual kit bag with me – my Canon EOS 5D Mk IV DSLR, EF 16-35mm f/4L IS, EF 24-70mm f/4L IS, plus EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II and an EF 1.4x III Extender.

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.
