Style.

Over the last six years I have photographed a huge number of events ranging from street festivals, fashion events, motorcycle/car shows and war weekends.

So I find it difficult at the moment to pin that type of photography to a style. In each case, there is an ideal process of capturing the subject matter.

When I look at other members photo's on this site, some have that stand out signature i.e. Alan Wennington and there's a couple of others that also produce instantly recognisable images.

If I'm not covering an event, I tend to shoot biased by mood and location. I've lost count of the photographs I've taken at Whitby. Why do I continue to shoot so many images around Whitby? I tell myself that it's "re-working" a location to see if I can get that shot that just stands out as different enough to matter.

I shot a series on Saturday at Whitby on the K-1 with the 43mm and 77mm Ltds. I could easily give up zoom lenses for scene photography as the shooting experience was just "better" with the fixed Ltds where I had to get more involved.

When I shoot events, two zooms are my standard choice. Invariably the 10-20mm Sigma on a K3 and the 16-50mm on a K5-IIs. I always use the 10-20mm on a K3 as it offers better resolution for the much wider field of view and if I do crop in, I have enough pixels available.

I presently can't pin how and what I shoot to a specific style. In my case, does it matter, I ask myself.

Best regards

Probably your style pervades every photographic decision that you make when selecting what you photograph, down to the composition and the exposure. It's you, not some external construct.

I like how you are thinking about it and trying to make some pattern out of your photography.

As for Whitby, what's not to like about the place. It's a great location full of interesting things and of course people. We'll be back there ourselves sometime soon, I fewel an urge to return and "re-work" it, just as you describe.
