James Murray: Think James Photo, Neon at the Wonderland This was not the first...

Hi, Hola, Bonjour , Ciao , مرحبا, 您好, bok, hei and welcome.

My name is James Murray and I live in London, England but love to go exploring in foreign climates. Coming from a design background I look at photography as an extension of this, recording the lifestyles and architecture that make up are world.

My passion for photography started when I first picked up a film camera (wow I miss the darkroom), capturing the moments of my accident filled childhood. I transferred this passion into my studies mixing in all of my design influences to create my own style.

Architecture and photography are the perfect blend each complementing the other. As a HDR (High Dynamic Range) enthuiast, I use this technique to enrich my images.

I have worked as a photographer since 2010, taking photos of the enviroment that I lived in around London, selling images as artworks and to companies. In 2011 I worked for Disney on their cruise ships with the big mouse himself. Onboard I worked as a portrait and wedding photographer, learning new techniques and feeding my travel bug.

Every photo is a memory; there is no better way to capture it then how you see it, not how the camera sees it.

Neon at the Wonderland

This was not the first time that I have gone to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland at christmas. I went last year but wasn’t able to take many decent photos as I was with family. This time though I went on a dedicated trip to take photos. I got a lot better shots then last time. It may help that now I am more experienced now but also it helps to be around fellow photographers for inspiration and enjoyment.

As soon as I saw this ride I new what I wanted to do. The colours and textures lend itself perfectly for HDR. I got a few from another angle with the ride spinning that have come out well (considering I had to fashion a tripod so I could lean though the bard on the far side). I will post one of them at a later date. Enjoy on this final run up to christmas.
