A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

Nature by The Blonde



I took these shots after a horrible grey and rainy day, I was so fed up of being inside looking out that I grabbed my camera and headed out to see what I could find! The muted light brought all the colours out and once the rain had stopped the insects also ventured out, and I was lucky enough to capture a couple just landing or hovering on flowers. I choose the final one, as I love the pop of colour and the depth of field making the background fuzzy, so the eye is naturally lead to the hover fly and its beautiful iridescent wings.

    For a photo that is actually focusing on such a small object this has so much going. The colours are stunning, you have captured the hover fly perfectly, and the depth of field brilliantly draws the viewer to the insect on the flower. This photo would grace any nature publication.
