OMBS On Location

Most of the photography books featured in On My Bookshelf (OMBS) are normally enjoyed at home with a nice cup of coffee. Every now and again though I get a book that has a more practical element to it and I feel the best way to share my thoughts on it is to go on location with it. I adopted this approach last year when I met up with Nick Livesey to discuss his book Photographing the Snowdonia Mountains.

When I received my copy of 52 Assignments: Landscape Photography by Ross Hoddinott and Mark Bauer I knew straight away that this would be another book that would be best demonstrated on location. The only challenge I had was which of the 52 assignments should I pick!

So join me in the latest episode of OMBS as I share my thoughts on this book and head out to Dartmoor on assignment.

I really hope you enjoyed this episode of OMBS. Santa was good enough to bring me a book on landscape photography that I’ve had on my list for a while now and I hope to bring you that episode of OMBS in the near future.

What do you have planned for your photography in 2020? Do you give yourself any assignments or projects? How do you discover creative ideas and techniques? Let me know in the comments below.

The Photographs

As always, here are the images that you saw in the video. I can’t wait to get back to this location. Hopefully when the light is a bit better and the wind a lot lighter!
