Good Afternoon camera connoisseurs. Its a sunny Sunday so just a quick update to say there will be Black and White architectural photo meet on:

Saturday 13 June 2026, 10:30AM
Starting at DURHAM train station and heading into the city

This will be an ideal opportunity to explore and document the city and create images that ARE going to have an impact on the observers eye. We'll be considering the form and structures within the scenes and looking at both traditional and abstract ways to represent the environment, remembering that it doesn't always have to be the full building within the frame.
We'll be utilising our cameras mono modes and settings to get the subjective scene and impactful image.
Looking forward to seeing those images with camera chat along the way.

Can you believe it, the sun is shining on this Saturday morning (or have I left the light on again?) so to celebrate, coming along on Saturday 6 June 2026, 11:00AM there will be a hands on Still Life Studio workshop where we will be creating compositions looking at managing elements such as arranging, styling, and framing subjects to create a mood or narrative.
We'll consider object placement, form, texture, and colour and experiment with hard and soft light using continuous lighting, modifiers and reflectors, high-key and low-key effects or subtle colour arrangements anything that makes the image yours. Ideal for those familiar with aperture, shutter and ISO knowledge, but not fully necessary.
Looking forward to seeing creativity without any rain.

After a recent knock at my studio door here at Photography51, Hannah, owner of The Nail Detail https://www.facebook.com/Thenaildetailat 29 Norfolk Street, Sunniside requested an image or two of her koi carp nail designs.
Always happy to help out fellow business owners at Marengo Sunderland https://www.facebook.com/marengosunderland after a swift client turnaround up popped a small themed flat lay and the koi were swimmingly happy.

Well it seems like summer is on its way so I thought I would try out a softer pastel approach to my product photography shots and take a detour into colour. These solid colours are not the easiest of surfaces to capture and keep clean but they make your merch pop.
To the small craft enterprises out there, get in touch, we'll get your products on social media marketing and your customers knocking at the door.

And a Good Rainy Tuesday Morn to fellow photographers in composition land.
Just a message to say coming along on Saturday 23rd May at 10:30am is our 50mm lens meet. As you may have heard the 50mm is quite possibly one of the most flexible lenses we may own, so our mission should you choose to accept it, is to cover a variety of styles from landscape to street photography concepts and anything else that comes our way using a 50mm focal length to our advantage.
We will be meeting on the beach at Roker, Sunderland taking in the sea air then heading into Roker Park for more exploring. Don't fret if you haven't got a 50mm, we'll just stick to the closest focal length you have. Remember creativity is key.
Hope to see you all there. Take Care, Nick

Just like to say a mighty big thank you to all who came along to our Natural Landscapes and Historical Ruins photo expedition on Sat 25 April. It was a great day out and I definitely know you got some smashing shots. You had your cameras, you had the sun and you got your shots. All I got was sunburnt. (thank you unpredictable British weather)
Great to see new and regular faces alike and hope to see you soon. Take Care.🙋‍♂️

Bonjour Photographers of Durham. Coming along on 25th April 12:00pm is our visit to Finchale Priory just outside of Durham. We'll have the opportunity to frame and photograph a wide range of subjects from the ruins of the medieval priory to wooded landscapes, fauna and the River Wear. There will be ample opportunities to grow your macro photography skills of nature and textures, as well as long exposures of the water. Striking black and white images alongside colour and shade will provide your photographs with drama, character and beauty. Its usually quiet so we can practice our current photographic skills and definitely develop new techniques without the hustle and bustle of busy roads, streets and pedestrians.
If its cold it doesn't matter, we've got our cameras. Hope to see you there without my slipped disc.🙂

Good Day Everyone, a very quick message to say there is a studio meet time tabled for the Sat 11th April at 11:00am.
This will be a hands-on studio workshop focusing on arranging, styling, and framing subjects to create a specific mood or story. We'll experiment with hard and soft light using continuous lighting, modifiers and reflectors. and if you have a Canon camera you can have a go using strobes. There's 5 places available. Will be good to see you there but please be aware I will not be modelling for you, don't want to break your cameras. Take Care.

Morning Photographers , I know this is not likely to be near Durham, North East, at all, but its a shot I literally just found on an old hard drive. 2000ft (ish) over Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand from many years ago. Taken on a Canon DSLR that apparently can only be found in antique shops now, 400D. No editing, just into B&W, but the depth of field is what kind of makes it. Abroad or not, DoF is always there, I never seem to see it used that much.
