JEREMY’S TOP TEN TIPS FOR SLICK CITY SHOTS

1 DIM THE LIGHTS When you’re shooting at night it can be worth turning down your LCD screen’s brightness to reduce glare and help keep your night vision intact.

2 DO A RECCE Visit and explore your favourite cities regularly, as you’ll soon find your favourite spots, and also discover new buildings and scenes every time.

3 SHOOT RAW Raw files contain loads of extra exposure info, giving you additional editing options in post.

4 ANTICIPATE THE MOMENT When framing up with people, anticipate where they’ll go so that you can shoot at the ideal moment.

5 INVEST IN THE RIGHT KIT There’s no point investing money in good-quality camera bodies and lenses only to put a cheap filter on your lens. Do your kit justice and invest in goodquality peripherals.

6 USE THE OVERLAY GRID I often compose using the rule of thirds overlay in Live View – it’s an easy way to get a good composition.

7 GET INSIDER INFO If you’re shooting in a new location ask locals, like cafe and shop owners, where the best spots are.

8 USE PHOTO APPS Apps like PhotoPills will help you work out your timings for the golden hour, and know from which direction that the sun will be coming.

9 BE CHEEKY Tripods aren’t generally allowed inside churches, but it’s worth asking beforehand. Or, if you can make a reasonable donation, they may let you shoot with a tripod outside of regular opening times.

10 AVOID SHAKE Aim for a shutter speed that is equal to or higher than the focal length you’re shooting at – so 1/200 sec at 200mm for example.
