Nikon D3 great in low light!

29/6/2008
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!

Well I got the new Nikon D3!

24/6/2008
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.

Should I get the Nikon D3X

14/5/2008
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!

BT regions shoot

4/4/2008
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.

Park Inn Hotels

16/8/2007
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.

Vitacress Corporate Shoot

12/8/2006
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!

World Cup Marriage

1/7/2006
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...

Location, location, location

29/6/2006
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.

Motorway madness

11/05/2006
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...

Scientists find way to cut global warming...

4/05/2006
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...

Corporate photography 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 incorporates annual reports, website images, business to business marketing and industrial photography. Warren James Palmer has been a successful corporate 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!
Corporate photography 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 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 about the ultimate wedding package?

When you book Warren James Palmer to photograph your wedding, you get, well me.... Not a junior photographer, not some bloke from another wedding studio... Just me and perhaps my assistant. I only photograph one wedding per day, so I'm not about to dash off half way through the ceremony. After all, I would like to have a bit of fun as well!
I shoot just digital these days. Using the latest Nikon professional digital cameras, there is no limit to the amount of images I will take on your behalf. I'll basically keep shooting until I think the job is done!
I carry backup digital equipment for everything and will often download your images onto a laptop during the day. Giving everyone a quick glance to see the results. I can even arrange for broadcast quality digital video to be shot at the same time as the stills (with the help of my assistant).
Want to see more recent images? Click here to see the wedding gallery!
