I love shooting in that fleetingly brief time when the sun drops from view and the ambient and artificial lights balance one another. This is the time to be experimental and try various combinations of shutter speeds and aperture. Many people might think that's it, the light has gone - the so call
I was lucky to have the opportunity of visiting Myanmar early in 2017 accompanying a guidebook writer as he traveled around the southern part of the country. I spent 3 weeks shooting without any particular brief which I often think of as both a good and bad thing - a brief gives purpose and direct

The Goodwood Revival is an amazing annual 3 day celebration of the romance and glamour of motor racing as it used to be. The Revival is the only historic race meeting to be staged entirely in period dress and is a return to the halcyon days of Goodwood as the spiritual home of British motor racing. In 2016 I was commissioned by Goodwood to shoot a couple of short videos at the Revival, the first of which was looking specifically at the incredible style and fashion of the visitors at the event. The Revival is not meant as an opportunity for fancy dress but more a chance to seek out and wear true vintage clothing in whatever form you choose. Furs, frocks, stockings or spats - it's all there - along with uniforms, period policemen and all manner of other characters all dressed to compliment the amazing range of cars and bikes that are being raced around the track by both legends of the sport as well as all manner of motor racing enthusiasts . The brief was to capture a taste of the event from the perspective of style and fashion, focusing more on those wearing true vintage attire. I chose to shoot on the Canon C100 mkll with the 24-105mm F4 IS lens. This is a great combo for this sort of run and gun work - it was mostly shot handheld or on a monopod since neither time nor space really allowed for use of a tripod. Edited and graded in Final Cut Pro X.
Photography is a fantastic reason to meet and interact with people wherever you are and whether you are shooting professionally or just for fun. This set of portraits were a series shot in North Eastern India a couple of years ago. The setup could not have been simpler but the results are clean and simple and uncluttered by distractions that feature in so many images. Lighting is via a single Canon Speedlight held with a Westcott double fold white umbrella in my left hand. Flash synch is either via a coiled ETTL cable or via an STE-2 IR flash transmitter - these have both since been replaced by a wireless transmitter that seems to work seemlessly and without issue. The key here for me is speed, simplicity and size - the ability to be ready to shoot in a matter of seconds with small effective lighting in whatever setting I might find myself in - not the most complex lighting by any means but well suited to lightweight travel situations.

MM74 - Marshalling at St Mary's - a look at the work of volunteer Motor racing marshalls at the Goodwood motor racing circuit
The annual Goodwood Festival of Speed is a petrol head's wet dream - a place where old meets new, two wheels meet four and all manner of weird and wonderful sit side by side with legends of the motor world. The central attraction of the event is the legendary hill climb where vehicles of all sorts hare up the legendary course - whether you're there to see F1 race cars, rally cars or something that looks as if it was built by for the Wacky Races there will be something there for everyone. Luckily I'm based very close to Goodwood and if I'm around at the time of the event I get media accreditation for look for ideas of something to shoot. This year the weather was not as good as it could have been for some of the event - 4WD cars (no manufacturers mentioned) could not get around their 'off road' courses due to having the wrong tyres - beautifully dressed women in high heels could be seen tottering through the ankle deep mud while men in sharp suits and city shoes skittered through the muddy paddocks... But then there were the cars... Regardless of the weather the cars are a feast for the eyes - and for that matter the ears.. My idea this year was to shoot timelapse of the event so that's what I did - though having started I soon realised my error in as much as the fact that fast moving cars do not make for great timelapse subjects - now you see it, now you don't.. Even when shooting at 1 second intervals as I was doing you are luck if you get a car staying in frame for much more than one frame unless you shoot straight up or down the track and get the cars coming towards or away - and this is not easy.

I've been very fortunate recently to have had media access at a number of events at the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit down in West Sussex. At the recent Members Meeting - MM74 - back in March, I was there to shoot a short film focusing on the work of the volunteer race marshals but ended up with a lot of footage that didn't make the final edit but I felt should nevertheless be used somewhere. This is some of that footage and shows a taste of the excitement of the event where so many iconic and historic race cars are given the chance to race once more. Shot on Canon C100 mk2

Goodbye WordPress – Hello Squarespace
So this is the final post from my WordPress hosted site – from here on in I have a new website with the same URL – http://www.adamsonvisuals.combut this time hosted with squarespace. The squarespace design seems like a better way of displaying images and content in a very easy to use format – the only drawback of the change being the loss of followers from WordPress.

Hi everyone – I’m very shortly moving from a WordPress hosted site to one hosted by Squarespace – it’s a simpler layout and gives more space for pictures to be displayed. My web address remains the same but in moving I will loose subscribers / followers I have built up with the WordPress site and therefore you will no longer receive updates.

My Little Sony Sony have always made great little compact cameras and when the Sony RX100mk IV was released not too long ago I decided it was time to try one out.
Sony have always made great little compact cameras and when the Sony RX100mk IV was released not too long ago I decided it was time to try one out. Unfortunately there’s a limit to how many cameras one actually needs so as the Sony came into the fold out went the Fuji X100s – a camera that I liked but never grew to love. The Fuji had too many quirks that I found irritating – slow to start up; poor battery life; a tendency to go to sleep at the most inconvenient time and no decent video capability – it did however have a lot of pluses but it just never really did it for me.
Enter the Sony RX100mk IV.
My prime reason for buying this camera was size and video performance – it’s basically a quality video camera with a 1″ chip in about the smallest package it’s possible to produce – yes there are problems associated with that but it does mean it’s a very useful camera for certain applications. The video image quality is great, shooting XAVC S files up to 4K/25p/100mbps. Picture profile settings allow you to shoot in both a variety of presets as well as S-log, allowing full control of the image – a built in ND filter (one setting only) allows a certain amount of control over aperture when shooting video. The camera also has a very good slow motion capability with a variety of frame rates as high as 1000fps (at much reduced resolution) but with full 100fps at full 1920 x 1080 resolution. The video below was shot recently at the Goodwood Revival – I’d finished shooting a short documentary piece I was there to cover and decided to give the little Sony a quick test in shooting slow motion. All the clips were shot at 100fps and conformed to 25p in FCPx – all the audio on this short piece was recorded in camera.

I’ve successfully used the Sony as a B camera on a number of shoots recently – notably shooting in Tuscany and Cornwall for a travel company using the camera in a variety of situations where size and speed of set up was paramount – on a Besteady One 3 axis gimbal roaming the streets, on a slider and also on a Delkin Gecko suction mount attached to the bonnet and side of a bus – all worked brilliantly and provided great image quality where otherwise to would have been very difficult to place larger the main camera.

Of course it’s never likely to me a main camera – audio capability is very limited and it’s ironically TOO small to be handled easily, you pretty much have to add to it in order to make it truly functional. But it is useful and I can see it being used in situations where you might otherwise use a Gopro or similar. I have improved handheld video shooting dramatically by the addition of a simple handle bracket with quick release plate and by using a Zacuto Z-finder as an eyepiece on the LCD screen – not the most elegant of rigs I agree, but it works and has so far astounded me with the quality of the image.

As a stills camera I don’t really like it yet – but then I don’t like shooting stills with a camera this small full stop. The EVF is good and very bright and at a push I’m sure it would be fine but for stills I’m still sticking to my Canon 5d mklll for the time being.
