Nicki Thurgar Photography

I spent the weekend in Birmingham with some photo pals - it was the first time I've been there and I was very pleasantly surprised by the wonderfully photogenic canal network. Of course we had to "do" the Selfridges building (amazing piece of architecture!), but I hadn't expected the canals to be quite as extensive or pleasing to the eye as they were. We then paid a visit to the Focus on Imaging event at the NEC which, again, was most enjoyable. We sat in on a seminar by world renowned photographer Jeff Ascough (who I have to say, I hadn't heard of before the weekend!) and he gave us a useful insight into how he gets his fabulous low light/no flash wedding shots. I'm pleased to see that he has been using the same camera that I use with great results in low light. I came away feeling most inspired and looking forward to using some of the techniques that Jeff let us in on - bring on that low light!
