I'll leave a small teaser here

What camera are u using Daniel. I'm guessing it's an expensive one ur photos r vaguely exciting how much photoshopping have u done to them?

I wonder how many people think Michel Roux has really nice pans?!

Each shot was using a slightly different setup. Most was done using my Sigma lens, but for this trip I had the following with me

• Nikon D7100
• Sigma 10-20 ƒ/3.5
• Nikon 35mm ƒ/1.8
• Cokin P-Grade Graduated Filter set
• 2x SRB Photographic ND1000
• Slik Pro Series Tripod

All in 5-6kg of camera gear is my estimate… I carry a rucksack which only has camera gear in, and generally I struggle to shut it

Not a huge amount done in post, just tweaking the levels to get things looking natural again as cameras have a tendency to flatten colours or over saturate them however good the gear.

I did feel rather dirty when I typed that.

I'll share that with a photographer I know, think it'll be appreciated

One of my pet hates as a photographer, "must be 'cos you have a nice camera!"
They are often a little surprised/shocked when they saw what I did use though

It's amazing how many people I know think the camera does all the work for my photographs. They don't seem to consider that a lot of effort actually goes into them, a lot of technique, and a lot of though. The camera equipment is actually a pretty small part of it. One of my favourite pictures from this trip was actually taken on my iPhone.

Absolutely beautiful photography

+1 , especially composition. And yet there's a huge difference that distracts me once the light's a bit dodgy.
