AVIATION & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER
Two extremes of photography - one peaceful and carefully considered whilst the other is full of fast paced action, challenging in many ways, in two opposite ends of the spectrum of photographic technicalities!

Time is precious. Most of us Landscape Photographers are ‘weekend warriors’, fitting our love of cameras and the outdoors around busy schedules, work and family life. Then when you do get the chance to get out with the camera, the weather doesn’t always do what you want it to.
Landscape Planner Pro is my new landscape photography planning app that can help you! It’s designed to be a one-stop-shop for all the essential information you are most likely going to need to plan your next landscape photography shoot. Tap into intelligent analysis of the weather to find out what to shoot and when in the given conditions, and find out all about the sunrise, sunset, moon cycle, weather, cloud, tide and location information along with some useful tools for your next landscape photography adventure. You’ll wonder how you lived without it!

A set of 18 presets specifically made for editing aviation photos in Lightroom and Photoshop - perfect for both civil and military aircraft and great for a rapid starting point for editing hundreds of airshow photos.
As with all other presets available elsewhere, they are not intended to be and should not considered to be a one-click editing solution but a creative starting point with which to further develop and process your RAW aviation photography images. This product is supplied as a digital download.
Airshow - a versatile everyday preset for aircraft in flight. Opens the darker, unlit underside of the aircraft while controlling bright upper surfaces and skies, with natural colour and crisp detail. An ideal starting point for general airshow photography. AI denoise and masking.
Afterburner - designed for fast jets with reheat lit, enhancing the intense orange and amber glow of the exhaust while adding punch to the aircraft and atmosphere. Extra contrast and texture help bring out heat haze, vapour and dramatic backgrounds.
Battle of Britain - a characterful 1940s-inspired treatment for Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancasters and other WWII aircraft. Muted colours, softer contrast, subtle grain and gently aged tones give photographs the atmosphere of vintage wartime film.
Blackbird - created for aircraft with very dark or black finishes. Carefully lifted shadows retain airframe detail while strong midtone contrast, texture and controlled highlights produce a powerful, punchy appearance without turning dark aircraft into featureless silhouettes. AI denoise and masking.
Blue Squadron - rich blues and cooler shadow tones designed for aircraft photographed against clear skies. Deepens the blue without making it unnatural while keeping the aircraft crisp, clean and well separated from the background.
Cold War - a mysterious, slightly subdued film-inspired treatment evoking military aviation of the 1950s and 60s. Cooler shadows, restrained colour, subtle grain and slightly faded tones suit early jets, reconnaissance aircraft and Cold War subjects.
Fox-One - a highly stylised, contemporary treatment for modern military aviation. Crisp detail, controlled highlights, open shadows and powerful vignetted colour give modern fighters a polished but realistic finish. Great for fast jet imagery against deep blue skies and white clouds. AI denoise and masking.
In-Flight Magazine - a bold commercial aviation look inspired by glossy magazine advertising. Strong contrast, richer colour, bright warm highlights and crisp detail give aircraft photographs an intentionally polished, high-impact finish.
Kodachrome Skies - nostalgic film treatment inspired by classic Kodachrome photography. Rich blues, warm reds and yellows, restrained greens and subtle film character create the distinctive colour palette associated with classic aviation imagery.
Mach One - crisp, clean and high-impact. Strong micro-contrast and detail emphasise panel lines, markings and airframe structure while maintaining clean colours and controlled highlights. Particularly effective for dynamic fast-jet photography. AI denoise and masking.
Mighty Wings - a cinematic aviation treatment inspired by the warm closing-credit imagery of Top Gun. Burnt oranges, amber highlights, warm haze and deeper shadows create a dramatic late-day, carrier-deck and sunset atmosphere.
Red Flag - a natural, expansive aviation treatment inspired by aircraft operating beneath the huge skies of desert exercises. Clean colour, balanced contrast and subtle warmth keep the result realistic while giving skies and aircraft plenty of presence.
Shadow Flight - a dark, cinematic monochrome treatment with deep blacks, controlled highlights and strong tonal separation. Designed for silhouettes, dramatic lighting, military aircraft and minimalist aviation compositions.
Silver Lining - a bold treatment for polished aluminium and silver aircraft. Strong tonal contrast and carefully controlled highlights accentuate reflections, rivets and metallic surfaces while richer colour gives markings additional impact.
Strike Eagle - designed specifically for dark-grey, gunship-grey and dark-green military aircraft. Opens deep airframe shadows while adding local contrast and texture to reveal panel lines, weathering and surface detail without excessively brightening the aircraft. AI denoise and masking.
Typhoon - optimised for modern mid-grey fighters such as the Eurofighter Typhoon. Adds definition and separation to otherwise flat grey surfaces, enhancing panel detail and markings while maintaining realistic colour and controlled contrast.
Vapour Trail - a cool, clean treatment built around blues, whites and atmospheric detail. Enhances condensation, wingtip vortices, vapour cones and cloud while protecting bright whites and maintaining definition in the aircraft. AI denoise and masking.
Warbird - a warm, nostalgic colour treatment for classic American piston aircraft. Slightly aged colour, warmer highlights, subdued greens and subtle film character complement Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Corsairs, Flying Fortresses and other historic aircraft.
