Welcome to the blog diary for photographer Warren James Palmer. Here you will find the thoughts and experiences of a jobbing photograher. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it...

Date	Headline	Blog
29/6/2008	Nikon D3 great in low light!	Well, buying the Nikon D3 is proving to have been a wise decision. Friday I had to photograph a new flight simulator in Hampshire. The only available light was from the video screens. Using flash simply blanked the video screens out. Once again the I set the D3 at 6400 and got a great set of usuable images. I edited the shots and uploaded them to the client area that night. Result, one happy client!
24/6/2008	Well I got the new Nikon D3!	I decided to take the plunge and buy the new Nikon D3. And just in the nick of time! The very next day after I received the D3 I was photographing a corporate AGM. The meeting was in a dimly lit conference hall which would have been well beyond the abilities of the D2x. However, at 6400 ISO the D3 managed the job just fine! What a result.
14/5/2008	Should I get the Nikon D3X	Ok, at the moment I have a Nikon D2x which is a great workhorse. The latest Nikon pro model is now the D3x. Recently released the D3x is supposed to be a photographers dream. However, it has a sensor resolution that is in theory, the same as the D2x. Albeit a full frame sensor rather than a DX sized sensor. So, the question is, how much better (if at all) will be the photographs I get from the D3x as opposed to my current D2x? In the good old days I would buy a camera body with the expectation that it would be taking profitable photographs for decades to come. Not any more... I will have to ponder on this matter for a while. Oh, the march of technology!
4/4/2008	BT regions shoot	Just completed a two shoot for British Telecom. One day in Andover the other on the Isle of Wight Ferry. The new 2m by 3m softbox I recently aquired proved ideal! In Andover I had to photograph people in a local community centre. The dull interior lighting wasnt very inspiring, so I opened up the huge collapsible softbox and set up studio in situ. The client was impressed and delighted by the results. This sort of setup is ideal for photographs that require a white background for later cutout.I then travelled down to Southampton to photograph a model with the IofW ferry appearing in the background. The 80-400 gyro Nikon lens I used made the ferry appear as if it were about to run us down. Again the client was pleased with the results and we all got a quick trip on the water.
16/8/2007	Park Inn Hotels	I've spent the last few days travelling around the country photographing Park Inn's for their parent company in Denmark. I've even got to stay at a couple of the hotels... In truth, photographing hotels is not very glamarous. A lot of the time the rooms all look the same and you have to wait a long time to get the light just right for the exterior shots. The thing that really got me was how Bedford looked like Telford which looked like Telford! An unfortunate consequence of globalisation is that everywhere looks like everywhere else... As ever, my trusty Nikon D2X performed flawlessly. Whilst the client was delighted by being able to donwload their images from my online client area. Once again, photographs I shots here in the UK have winged their way around the world, thanks to the Internet.
12/8/2006	Vitacress Corporate Shoot	My favourite kind of shoot! Out in the countryside.... Vitacress (who make watercress. Surprise, surprise...), wanted a series of images to represent how environmentally friendly they are (which they are by the way...). So, I was duly dispatched to photograph a couple of their Hampshire farms. The trick with this type of shoot is to watch the weather carefully. I shot one location in the misty morning; and the other late afternoon. Again, this is to miss the dead period around midday, when the sun is too high in the sky. Much better, to wait until the shadows have lengthend. I find myself using a telepho lens on this type of shoot, more and more. I guess it's because a telephoto lens compresses distances, it's ideal to generate 'lifestyle' images. As opposed to straight documentary images. More shoots like this please!
1/7/2006	World Cup Marriage	Hottest day of the year. All day wedding shoot in a hotel. Guests all hit the bar from mid morning. By mid afternoon the bride, groom and guests all getting a bit worse for wear. .. Of course, everyone has one eye on the wedding and another on any TV, Radio etc then can get to...Then England gets thrown out the World Cup! Result... sore heads and a bit of inter family friction... Still, the photos were great! Taking wedding photos in strong blazing sunshine brings it's own problems. It's very important to find some shade to photograph the bride and groom under. You can try shooting against the sun using fill in flash, but with the sun directly overhead in mid summer, the results can be very garish. Better to find a bit of shade to create softer lighting...
29/6/2006	Location, location, location	Just got back from two weeks holiday with the wife and kids. Other than being worn out by the family, the main result for the last couple of weeks is a new batch of location shots for the photo library. Being Franco-Philes, we went to Pen Be on the West Coast of France. I just love the qaulity of the light there! I took my Nikon D70 rather than the D2X. When away, I prefer not to make it obvious that Im a professional photographer. Hnece using the smaller camera body. The results are stunning regardless of the fact that my D70 is showing its age a but (a relative term in the new world of Digital Photography). I have a beady eye on the newer D200... If I could feed the family on any money I made on just location photography, I would... I just love getting out and about with the camera. Sometimes the realities of being a jobbing photographer get in the way of unbridled creativity.
11/05/2006	Motorway madness	Walsall, Birmingham. Sorry, but it's not my favourite place in the world... Today's photo shoot was a corporate event at a hotel in Walsall. Which meant a long drive on the motorway to a hotel with very little character. On days like this it can be difficult to think creatively. It's hard to derive photographic inspiration from a motorway hotel. Happily, there was an outside bar with some cafe-style tables, which allowed me to take some relaxed outdoors portraits. Again the Nikon D2x with my giro stabilised Nikon 80-400mm lens saved the day. I was also extremely glad to have air-conditioning in the car as it was 30 in the shade! The usual traffic james on the M42 and A34 on the way home... joy...
4/05/2006	Scientists find way to cut global warming...	Architectural shoot today. I like photographing buildings.... They don't move, argue, answer back and you can only photograph them when the weather is good! In the good old days I would use a 5x4 Sinar camera to shoot architecture. I would spend hours under a black cloth adjusting the shift and tilt for parallex. These days I tend to use my Nikon D2X with an 18mm lens. Then use the transform function in Photoshop to remove any parallex problems. It beats fumbling with sheet film. The best shot of the day was the etate car with concrete wheels...

commercial Hampshire photographer is a genre that includes quite a number of sectors. On the one hand it includes portraits of staff and directors; whilst on the other hand it incommercials annual reports, website images, business to business marketing and industrial photography. Warren James Palmer has been a successful commercial photographer for many years and has a long and varied client list. A total digital workflow is essential in this field of photography, where deadlines are always looming. Today everything is shot digitally and all images are supplied edited on CD or DVD. From camera to computer to web server (ready for download), can take only a matter of hours. Many corporations like to make use of the online secure client area to view and then download photographs. Essential, when your client is on the other side of the world!
commercial Hampshire photographer has changed dramatically in the past few years, and today it is at the forefront of creativity and technology. Boring it certainly ain't!
Advertising photography is perhaps percieved as one of the more glamarous sectors of commerical photography. The years of experience, technical expertise and strict discipline needed to succeed in this field of photography tend to be forgotten.
Warren Palmer has been working in the field of advertising photography for over two decades. There have been many changes in that time. Today a total digital workflow is essential in this field of photography, where deadlines are always looming. Today everything is shot digitally and all images are supplied edited on CD or DVD. From camera to computer to web server (ready for download), can take only a matter of hours. Many design and ad agencies like to make use of the online secure client area to view and then download images. Essential, when designers need to check layouts in real-time!
Advertising photography is a heady blend of creativity and technology which is why it is such and exciting field of photography.
People used to think that a photograph could steal your soul. Although this may not be true, it is true that a good portrait photograph always captures the essence of a person. It takes years of experience and a rapport between photographer and sitter to produce successful portraits.
Warren Palmer has been a successful portrait photographer for the past two decades.
Portrait Photography is all about creating a 'window to the soul' and is one of the most satisfying fields of photography.
Landscape photography is possibly the most popular field of photography, and it's not difficult to see why. There is nothing quite like capturing the perfect landscape, seascape or sunset. Location photography is more than just a pretty landscape, it covers anything from urban cityscapes to forests and mountains.
Warren Palmer is a passionate location photographer. His digital cameras are with him wherever he goes and some of his most memorable and popular images are location and landscape photographs.
Location photography is a chance to record the world as we see it and brings with it immense satisfaction.
Architectural photography is all about being at the right place at the right time. If you photograph a building when the light is just so, the architecture comes truly alive. Photograph a building on a dull day and you've got nothing but bland bricks and concrete. The great attraction of architectural photography is that it takes calm discipline and lots of patience.The most important items to have to hand when photographing architecture are; architects drawings, a compass and an OS map!
Warren Palmer had been commercially photographing architecture for over two decades.
Weddings are a joyous occasion and the role of the photographer is to record and capture those 'joyous' moments. It's a simple brief really, but it's amazing how many wedding photographers get it wrong....
I apply the same relaxed but professional techniques used in high-end advertising and commercial commercial Hampshire photographer photo shoots, to photographing that special wedding day.
I really enjoy photographing weddings and I'd like to think that my clients feel relaxed, comfortable and confident in return. A confidence that is derived from 22 years as a professional photographer.

How long have you been a professional Hampshire wedding photographer photographer?

Warren James Palmer started takingHampshire wedding photographer photographs for a living way back in 1983 at the tender age of 18. I moved from Birmingham to London to seek fame and fortune as a trendy young photographer, in the traditional fashion. Well, I'm not young or trendy anymore, but I am still a professional photographer. The photographic world has changed a lot since then...

Do you shoot Hampshire wedding photographer on film or digital?

The last film Warren James Palmer shot was a couple of years ago. I still have my Bronica and Nikon film cameras, but virtually everything is now shot on my digital Nikon D2X professional.

Is digital photography better than film photography?

Digital photography is simply different from film photography. The workflow and skill set is different (particularly in post-production). Today's clients are looking for high quality commercial Hampshire photographer with a fast turnaround. Many of my clients download their commercial Hampshire photographer images directly from the website. Clearly,Hampshire wedding photographer digital photography with digital commercial Hampshire photographer retouching and editing, is better suited to the demands of today's commercial environment.

Do you supply the photographs on a CD or DVD?

Yes. After the shoot all the photographs are downloaded onto the computer and they then go through an editing process. The edited photographs are cut onto a CD or DVD and sent to the client in a presentation case.

Are the Hampshire wedding photographer photographs supplied as high resolution images?

Yes. I supply your< b>Hampshire wedding photographer photographs as high resolution images without watermarks.

Do you work with an assistant?

Usually, I work alone. Over the years I've become used to working in a flexible, but coordinated Hampshire wedding photographer way. Generally, I find working with an assistant gets in the way of the 'flow' of the shoot. However, when the occasion demands it, I employ freelance assistants.

Do you retain copyright of all the Hampshire wedding photographer photographs?

Copyright is a big subject, but in short yes. The artist's (photographer) copyright is protected by law. However, I generally allow my Hampshire wedding photographer photographs to be used 'royalty free' within the organisation which commissioned the shoot.

Which means the photographs can be used for in house brochures, annual reports etc, without having to worry about copyright. Which is the best practical solution given the copyright law.

However, if the photography were passed on to another company or a sister company, permission would have to be gained before the images could be used. As I said, copyright is a complex subject.

In practice, a bit of common sense is required; if you use the photographs within an organisation fine; if you syndicate the photographs worldwide (like one recent client) without seeking permission, then don't be surprised when you get a nasty letter and a big bill....

What is your main area of photographic expertise?

All aspects of Photography. Warren James Palmer has been a professional photographer for over two decades, so there is very little in the field of photography that I haven't seen or worked on. However, my main areas of professional photography are commercial, advertising, architecture, Hampshire wedding photographer and location photography. Which is enough, but I'm always game on for something different!

What would happen if there was a fault with your camera?
Warren James Palmer always carries a spare camera back, spare lenses, flash and memory cards. So, although I've never had equipment failure, I am prepared to simply switch to backup equipment if required.

Do you shoot RAW or JPEG?
Depends. If I'm taking commercial Hampshire photographer product photographs where colour balance and quality is paramount, then I will shoot in RAW format. If I am shooting more general work, then I will tend to shoot in JPEG format. In reality, very few clients require or benefit from shooting in RAW format.

Do you retouch all your photographs in Photoshop?
No not really... I try my best to get the photograph right in the camera; framing, lighting, colour balance, everything. It simply isn't practical to Photoshop every image when you are shooting thousands of photographs a month!
Having said that, I use Nikon Capture to batch process all my commercial Hampshire photographer images. Mainly to increase sharpness, contrast, balance levels and to rename the images. In some cases, such as with product shots, in depth Photoshop work is required and I charge separately for commercial Hampshire photographer this work. I've been using Photoshop since it was first developed, so I'm pretty experienced with it!

Once the photo shoot is over what happens next?
As soon as I get back from attending a Hampshire wedding photographer photo shoot I download all the photographs onto the computer and immediately cut a DVD or the unedited images. I then backup the computer to a removable hard disk drive. Thus ensuring that the original Hampshire wedding photographer images are never lost.

All the photographs then go through a 'workflow' editing process. Once I am happy with the editedHampshire wedding photographer photographs I will upload a sample to my web server. I will then send you a username and password. This will give you access to the client area where you can view your photographs and download them.
I will then send you a DVD of all the high resolution edited images. This DVD will come in a presentation jewel case.

Can we download the resulting Hampshire wedding photographer photographs online?

Yes. There is a client area on the website where you can put a basket of your commercial Hampshire photographer images together and then download them as a zip file. These are un watermarked high resolution images. Downloading the final photographs online is a very popular option, particularly for overseas clients.

How large are the final files? The uncompressed files are usually 34mb. Which equates to 300dpi at A3. As compressed jpegs the files are around 4mb. Images can be interpolated to larger sizes if required.
