Summer exhibition in the Loire Valley, France.

Myself and Cath are returning to the Loire Valley, France in April where I will be having a summer photographic exhibition at Le Moulin Fort Camping.


 I'm taking a half dozen canvases, about 10 mounted prints and a few framed prints.
Orders can also be fulfilled from my website for direct delivery across Europe
The main subject will, of course, be Chateau Chenonceau, but there will be some variety.

Staying legal with photos posted on your own internet posts.

You've written a fantastic post about your visit to France and just need a couple of pictures to help pad it out and be more interesting, after all, 'a picture is worth a thousand words', so do you just grab one from a Google search?


Yes you can... but be prepared for the owner to come after you for infringing their copyright after they find it being used without permission on your internet platforms.

The best way to obtain pictures to use within your own web content, be that on Facebook, Blogs or any other internet platform (within reason), is to buy a licence which will cover you for the use.

I allow my own images to be downloaded for such uses in two sizes on my website here... mickflynnimages.

They are all provided instantly, do not contain a watermark and are ideal to illustrate your stories and articles.


There is a choice of download size which will cover all your needs and keep you legal. Images can be searched by keyword using the search function from my extensive …

Night shooting with Canon 6D and Magic Lantern

A little bit of night shooting at the campsite yesterday evening, ideally I would have shot a little earlier whilst there was some light in the sky, but I forgot and left it a little late for these test shots.

Canon 6D assisted by Magic Lantern.



We use an ANPR system for our entrance and exit barriers and certain other gates throughout the site.


I'll be re-shooting these scenes hopefully when we get a nice clear evening, and I'll have to change the angle or shoot earlier for the last picture as the whites in the reception building have 'blown out', and I was unable to recover detail from the RAW file.

Dust Bunnies and sensor dirt on full frame DSLR cameras

Here's an image which, although not particularly interesting is one I wanted to work on.

I needed to use a small aperture of f22 for this shot to slow everything down as I didn't have a neutral density filter, and that's where the trouble starts because a  small aperture shows all the dust bunnies.

At a glance, there's only a couple of dust spots visible, but once I look at the top half of it in Lightroom.

Every one of those stands out like a sore thumb at 100% and not only does it fail my own QC, it would fail Alamy QC, and get me a short uploading ban.

This is what it looks like as I remove, or clone out the spots.


Then, a little more work and I have the finished image.



It's not a keeper for me, unfortunately, as it is, as I said earlier, a bit boring, but it's all good practice.
Dust bunnies will always be a problem with DSLR mirrored and even mirrorless cameras even with the utmost hygiene practices and care whilst changing lenses, and, for me, it's wh…
