Welcome

I am Rod Wynne-Powell, and this is my way to pass on snippets either of a technical nature, or related to what I am currently doing or hope to be doing in the near future.

A third-person description follows:
Professional photographer, Lightroom and Photoshop Workflow trainer, Consultant, digital image retoucher, author, and tech-editor for Martin Evening's many 'Photoshop for Photographers' books.

For over twenty years, Rod has had a client list of large and small companies, which reads like the ‘who’s who’ of the imaging, advertising and software industries. He has a background in Commercial/Industrial Photography, was Sales Manager for a leading London-based colour laboratory and has trained many digital photographers on a one-to-one basis, in the UK and Europe.
Still a pre-release tester for Adobe in the US, for Photoshop, he is also very much involved in the taking of a wide range of photographs, as can be seen in the galleries.

One Short Walk With Camera


            
Upon looking at my blog to wonder which subjects were of interest to those who read what I have written, I have observed two surprises that have risen from the depths of my past writings; one such from the earliest days of my blogging, in 2011, and another from 2016. What this indicates is that there are people that take advantage of the search feature, so I decided I would revisit both to gain some insight into what was being sought. One very personal observation was that though the subject matter indicated similar preferences then as now, in the earlier photos my preference for focal length seemed to be in the shorter focal lengths, yet my subject interests persist. 
            The long period of lockdown has precluded many of the activities I would normally have experienced and enjoyed capturing, but it does seem the drought may soon be ending. Earlier in the day, I was out capturing the colours in a garden, but exclusively with my versatile Sigma 60-600mm lens, however, I shall attempt to discipline myself to specifically spend some time with my shorter length 24-70mm lens in the near future.
            I had taken a stroll down River Lane to the fast streaming waters of its namesake, when in the branch of one tree’s bark were threaded a couple of goose feathers. The rest of the images are of flowers and leaves that caught my eye and were captured by my camera’s lens.
            The surprises just keep coming, and I am wondering whether the counter of blog viewings has had a spring break and has just wound the numbers around before expiring as the day’s views have just topped five thousand hits in the last week! Unless something has broken at Blogger’ counting mechanism, that has become the largest number of weekly visits since I started putting up my images and words in the last decade!
            Whatever the reason, anyway here are some pictures taken yesterday during a short walk.
