All images Tony Sellen<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>When did you first become interested in photography?<\/h2>\n<p>I bought my first DSLR back in 2009, but I don\u2019t think I really got into photography seriously until 2014. In those first five years of owning a DSLR it was really an on\/off hobby where I\u2019d go months without touching the camera, yet I would learn something new every time I did pick it up. Then, in 2014, I decided to start taking it more seriously. I did a workshop with the talented Vulture Labs (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vulturelabs.photography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.vulturelabs.photography<\/a>) at the end of 2014, and then I was really was hooked. Since then, I\u2019ve been taking my camera everywhere I go and, as a result, I shoot most weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Why do you like black &amp; white?<\/h2>\n<p>Black &amp; white for me is timeless; it\u2019s a style that will never go out of fashion. I believe architecture and street photography really suit black &amp; white processing, and they just happen to be the two genres that I frequently shoot.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110602&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110602 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg?resize=300,252 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg?resize=476,400 476w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg?resize=900,756 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-split-toning.jpg?resize=562,472 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">After reading an interesting article by Joel Tjintjelaar on split toning I thought I\u2019d give it a go.

Whether it\u2019s smoothing out water or turning fluffy clouds into sleek streaks across the sky, it\u2019s a look that you can\u2019t see without using the long-exposure process.<\/p>\n<h2>Have you dabbled in any other genres of photography?<\/h2>\n<p>I do enjoy wildlife photography and I\u2019m always drawn to good photographs of animals. I\u2019ve been on safari and I\u2019ve taken photos of birds while I was learning. But when you\u2019re living in the city, wildlife is a genre that is hard to maintain interest in.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110605&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110605 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg\" alt=\"Monochrome unusual shaped building Warsaw skyline - Tony Sellen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg?resize=300,414 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg?resize=290,400 290w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg?resize=900,1242 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-unusual-shaped-building-Warsaw-skyline.jpg?resize=562,776 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">This is such an unusual building with its curved structure and sloping sides. It really stands out in the Warsaw skyline catching the light so well. Nikon D810, 20mm, 1\/250sec at f\/9, ISO 80<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>What is your go-to kit?<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve always used Nikon cameras and I currently have a Nikon D810 and an infrared converted D7000. I only use prime lenses now, which means the bag is a lot heavier, but I think the fixed focal length helps you improve as a photographer. My 25mm and 50mm lenses tend to go everywhere with me. I find the 50mm is ideal for street photography and the 25mm is perfect for architecture and cityscapes. I\u2019ve also got a good set of ND filters that I use for my long exposures, along with a couple of grads.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you explain your typical long-exposure technique?<\/h2>\n<p>With long-exposure photography I first set up a composition just holding the camera. Once I find that I have roughly what I want, I set the camera up on the tripod and concentrate on getting the framing exactly right. I manually focus in live view and then plug the remote in and cover the eyepiece. I have the camera set to aperture priority mode at the start. I adjust the aperture to try to achieve a shutter speed of about 1\/250sec. From here, I know what my exposure time will be, although I must say there are many phone apps available that will do the calculation for you. Next, it\u2019s time to put on the ND filter. There are many types of filters, and I use Formatt-Hitech screw-on range. The camera then needs to go into manual and\/or bulb mode to set the correct exposure time.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110603&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110603 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg\" alt=\"Underground in Warsaw - Tony Sellen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg?resize=300,427 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg?resize=281,400 281w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg?resize=900,1282 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-underground-line-in-Warsaw.jpg?resize=562,800 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">This shot was taken on the new underground line in Warsaw.

It\u2019s not been quite as frequent this year, but I\u2019ve been on quite a few trips where I have spent several days taking photographs, so it\u2019s possible I have taken more photographs this year than I did last year. I\u2019ve usually got my camera with me, so even if I haven\u2019t planned to go out shooting, I\u2019ve always got the option to take a few shots.<\/p>\n<h2>What is your favourite time of day and locations to shoot?<\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t like busy locations, so I tend to try to avoid busy times of day. A stroll around London on a Sunday shooting some street and architecture is always nice. Trips to Venice and Iceland in the winter were cold, but all the good locations were not as busy as they would have been at peak tourism times.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_110601&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-110601 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg\" alt=\"Monochrome house in Venice - Tony Sellen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg?resize=300,449 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg?resize=267,400 267w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg?resize=900,1348 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/09\/Monochrome-house-in-Venice.jpg?resize=562,842 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">This fantastic little house surrounded by water was taken in Venice.

Last year I entered the Wex Photographic weekly social media competition #WexMondays every week. This was a project of some sorts, having to take a different photo every week throughout the year. It was quite a challenge to produce a good shot each and every week. I\u2019m currently trying to get a different photograph from a different country each month.
