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.
