Website Updates
The gallery pages of the site are still being worked on and there are numerous presentations currently being edited in the background. As the weather is starting to get better I am anticipating some good outdoor shoots coming up. I am working on a few projects at the moment for the main course I am studying for. The subject matter is going to be either landscapes or people. The weather may play a part in the final decision. The web site can be found here

Nikon D3 Firmware Update Withdrawn
After reading a blog from Moose Peterson, Wildlife Photographer and Rob Galbraith of Digital Photography Insights, Nikon had released a new update to the firmware on the D3. The update, V1.10, addressed issues and items that extend the cameras already fantastic capabilities. I downloaded the updates and installed them into my D3. The next day I was made aware that they have now withdrawn the item due to technical problems and possible corruption problems being caused to NEF images. The new release is now to be made at the end of the month. However, after reading the brief they have supplied, I am going to leave the update in and see to what extent, if any, it causes problems. So, if you read this and want to download and install the update, then have a look at the Nikon site before you make a decision...
Web Site continues to grow...
The web site is still taking some time to design, to the extent and look that I am after. The gallery page formats are now written and the script is in place for a quick navigation bar to ease viewing. This section has taken me some time to complete, with many pages being designed and then deleted. Comments given to me from viewers are the best form of criticism and it is with these that I can reflect on the overall look of the pages.
The majority of the galleries are now set, although there is still work to be done in creating others. However, the whole original idea is now taking shape and I am pleased with the result and overall design of the presentation. As new items are added, I will include them on my updates within the blog.

Somewhere to begin...
Welcome to my brand new blog site, added as an essential accessories to my main photography site, www.jasonswales.com.
This site has been put together to put all those bits of information on that make photography the fascinating subject it is. This is my little bit to help those out there who like me, have started in this business later in life. My main site concentrates mainly on the galleries and is a show piece for some of the work and submissions I am currently doing.
The blog site is designed to put all those other essential bits of information on, without over running the main site. Items such as the equipment guide, something that always interests other photographers and users who want to know more about some good kit. I will submit my own reveiws here of the kit I use, the pros and cons, the good bits and the learning points, that may help you in you are staring off in this type of work or hobby.
I will include all the reference material that I am using, for either research or to further my knowledge in a certain subject, the essential blogs of photographers or web sites offering excellent information on this subject and have certainly helped me in the learning process.
Whilst a large proportion of the site is focused on photography and my interest in the subject, there will also the opportunity to put other articles that may be of interest, especially family items and photographs to support these entries. I, like others, think of it as a journal, a diary of events, somewhere, where I can post items of interest and as the site builds, sure, that others may benefit from the entries.
I am not a professsional photographer, although I am studying at the moment for amateur qualifications. It is my intention to become professional, so by using this site you will be able to follow my story, my highs and lows, the subjects I am covering and how I conduct my workflow.
Essentially, all of my work is self taught, from the web site design, to the presentation. The post capture process that I use, helped tremendously by certain NAPP members, who I will post in detail about later. I have used the knowledge and experience from others to gain my own knowledge on this subject and found that to be able to complete the process of capture, to editing, to presentation, in both print and web, is extremely challenging.
Anyhow, that concludes the essential introduction part of the site, so now on with the content and material, that I hope you will not only enjoy, but if you feel urged, make a comment.
