PART 1 (Location Photography - Landscape)
John Freeman 
Please to meet you another great photographer with familiar surname John Freeman…but even so it`s nothing to do with different John Freeman based in London author or of over 30 books.. Probably surname Freeman is more or less popular and how you can imagine successful…John is a nature and landscape photographer based in northern Italy. He first became interested in photography as a teenager, but began photographing the natural world more seriously in the early 1990s sparked by a passion for plants and botany. For many years he used Velvia slide film but has recently been enjoying the creative freedom offered by digital cameras, combining macro photography and intimate landscapes with broader vistas captured with wide-angle and fish eye lenses. That’s why searching for some landscape professional’s I came across with him, as his photographs took my breath away. Even if you have to considering that is probably slightly digital manipulation involved. I have to say J.Freeman`s seascape’s is one of the best what I saw so far and it`s so close to what I want to achieve.
The perfect wave, heading towards to viewer, creating stunning black and white contrast between earth and water.
Very good example of using slow shutter speed. I’m not very successful of that, the best I can do to use a Bulb option to slow it down and released when I want. Works very well in the low light.
Nice scene of golden hour, it’s hard to tell its sunrise or sunset, but could be both. Looking this picture I almost can hear the waves as a photographer done a good job captured sea at its best time.
Same as previous photograph make you believe… Stormy sky and open water brings out all feel of that day.
His images makes beautiful composition with nice effect from slow shutter speeds… the mood and lighting is brilliant showing perfect contrast between motion and still.. bright and dark. Feel created by the moving water and the clouded sky is absolutely stunning.
In my images I also tried to get same feel and atmosphere, I didn’t consider they as a bad, but something slightly is missing, to get that impact what could compare with John`s photographs.
Photograph taken in late morning, when sun is already high, so no much contrast and colours there, but I like the silver light what surrounds that time Porthleven`s coast.
Praa Sands -located in the South West of Cornwall between Helston and Penzance is one of the finest beaches to be found in the UK. Photograph taken in the afternoon and not the best of weather, sky is dull, colours grey, but still I think this image have some potential after post-processing.
I like this photograph as it gives same sort of impression of up coming storm. Fortunately it was only big cloud. Image is underexposed, to get that required result and it works well.
Lands End...magic place to be...Shot is on Bulb mode in very late evening, sunset filter adding good sense of sunset painting sky in warm colours.
Images are from my recent visit to Cornwall. I absolutely adore this place, with its wild sea scenery, changing weather and open space. Anyway I quite pleased with these images as they work well in composition wise.
As you can see I didn’t do any manipulation yet but improvements are needed…from adding a contrast, to structuration change.
For my final images I will do exactly that to make landscape stand out and work together with sea creating perfect photographs.
