Photo Session Gift Vouchers are the perfect present as they bring smiles everyday the lucky recipient walks in the room and sees the pictures hanging on the wall with pride.

We know though that not everyone can find the perfect gift voucher, despite our  5 to choose from and so we’ve created a custom voucher option which allows you to select from £50-£100 and even add a custom message to print on to the gift voucher.

Please note if you require a different value to the ones offered (value of voucher must exceed £45), feel free to e-mail us and we’ll happily create a custom one especially for you!

Spring Lambs

“Investigating”

I couldn’t resist a few snaps of the spring lambs as I was driving through Kinver, nothing particular spectacular here but a few nice shots of them feeding and at play.

Compiling The New Portfolio

This is a couple of hours work, printing off contact sheets of thumbnails of photographs, trimming into individual images, then placing them in groupings for pages to be included in the new portfolio i’m getting printed.

Working on around 90 or so pages (if not more) this has been a challenge to ensure the book is varied and in a logical order). My deadline to get it to the printers is the 30th April so i’m working hard to ensure it is clear and concise and demonstrates the best of my abilities.

Swooping In For Some Shots: Webbs Falconry Centre

Wikipedia:

“A falcon (pronounced /ˈfɔːlkən/ or /ˈfælkən/) is any species of raptor in the genus Falco. The word comes from their Latin name falco, related to Latin falx (“sickle”) because of the shape of these birds’ wings.”

Some photographs i’ve dug up from February, taken at Webbs Falconry Centre in Kidderminster.

Local Life: Ludlow

“No Vacancies”

Quote from Wikipedia:-

“Ludlow is a market town in Shropshire, England close to the Welsh border and in the Welsh Marches. It lies within a bend of the River Teme, on its eastern bank, forming an area of 350 acres (1.4 km²) and centred on a small hill. Atop this hill is the site of Ludlow Castle and the market place. From there the streets of the medieval walled town slope downward to the River Teme, and northward toward the River Corve. The town is in a sheltered spot beneath the Clee Hills which are clearly visible from the town. With a population of around 10,000, Ludlow is the largest town in South Shropshire and home to the southern area committee of Shropshire Council.

Ludlow has nearly 500 listed buildings. They include some fine examples of medieval and Tudor-style half-timbered buildings including the Feathers Hotel. The parish church, St Laurence Church, is the largest in the county.”

Around an hour from Daniel James Photography, I ventured out, having not visited the town for many years. A beautiful array of period buildings and a bustling market was what I found. Armed with my camera I of course couldn’t resist taking a few shots, the most poignant of which I feel is the one above, titled ‘No Vacancies’.

Photography Portfolio

Lately we’ve had a few people wondering where all the images have gone from the pages and truth be told we thought we’d tidy it up a bit. Everything is now neatly packaged in our Portfolio section (accessible from the navigation bar)

This will be frequently updated with new images (subscribe to RSS for the latest additions) of everything from Paddington Bear to Chocolate Fountains depending on what our wonderfully varied client base offers up to us.

iPhone Friendly Daniel James Photography

So it’s been a while since our last post, what’s been going on?

Well photo shoots and website design as normal of course, but in the background we’ve been busy getting to grips with the new iPhone (new to the company anyway).

Anyway I got thinking about how many smart phones are out there and that our site isn’t really ‘phone friendly’ due to hover menus. Therefore we present…

http://mobile.danieljamesphotography.net

very much in its infancy this is set to make it easier to get in touch with us and to know where and when your photo shoot is.

Pages currently active:-

About Us – self explanatory

Bookings Calendar – tied to Google Calendar you will soon receive a unique shoot number when you book, this will be added to the Google Calendar event i.e. ’4530 Photo Shoot’ so that you can check when your shoot is (date and time)

Shop Opening Times – self explanatory

Shop & Studio Locations – Google maps linked in to help you to find us

Blog – linked to this very blog, keep up on the latest developments and posts

(out of site in the image) Contact Details – All contact details including direct links to text, e-mail and call us

Those that frequent our main site will notice the lack of updates there, firstly apologies for this it is due to a busy workload and also the fact that a whole new Drupal based website is currently under construction which should finally give customers a place to interact with us (aside from phone/e-mail etc) and stay updated with the progress of their shoot (editing, website gallery link etc).

Although similar in appearance it should run quicker, be easier to navigate and a lot quicker for me to update.

No release date for this update is scheduled yet (some 50+ pages to re-write first)

Sunrise – Firefox Persona Theme

Firefox is one of the biggest internet browsers. For those wanting to make it a truly personal browser you can add a plugin called ‘personas’. This will put an image over the top of the browser and the bottom status bar and is very easy to do.

We’ve created a persona for our readers from our photograph of a flower petal, called ‘Sunrise’.

You can get the ‘Sunrise’ persona from here
