Dynamic Range
20th December 2011
This is the first episode of the new series "Dynamic Range" following professional Irish landscape photographers Peter Cox and myself as we photograph some of Ireland's most beautiful countryside. You'll learn how to make better photographs as you watch!
Here's a brief trailer that will give you a feeling for what you'll get when you buy the full HD, hour long, downloadable landscape photography tutorial.

The Circle of Confusion presents: Dynamic Range
Shall I tell you how not to make a branding decision?
by Roger Overall
Never, ever make it after you’ve filmed the first episode of a new video series in which your presenters refer to the old brand name. It makes the editing that bit more complex.
It also causes confusion.
New Series Brand
Let me give you the back story.
‘The Circle of Confusion’ is the name that Peter and I came up with when we launched our podcast last year. It seemed logical to transfer the name to the new video series. At least, it was logical at the time. We’ve now come to realize that we made a mistake – particularly now that we have formed a company under the same name. Suddenly, everything is Confusion.
We have big plans for our business together. We don’t intend to stop at a series of landscape photography videos. Other products will follow. Problem is, they can’t all be called ‘The Circle of Confusion’. That would just be… you know… confusing.
We need to differentiate between the product lines, starting with the soon-to-be-released landscape video. Consequently, we’ve decided to call the series by its own name: ‘Dynamic Range’.
We now operate as any other production company – giving each programme series its own distinct name and brand.
Why ‘Dynamic Range’?
Because Peter said so.
Well, sort of. He came up with the name. Neil and I couldn’t best it.
Besides, it fits very well. ‘Dynamic range’ is a photographic concept. ‘Range’ is a word you would associate with the landscape – as in ‘out on the range’. ‘Dynamic’ also refers to our duo of presenters and their interaction, as well as the general feel of the video series. We promised ‘Top Gear’ for photographers, after all.
The End of The Circle of Confusion Name?
No.
Far from it.
For a start, this blog will retain the name.
That’s not all. We have news. The name started out as the series title of a podcast. We’ve had persistent calls for its return. So, we’re going to relaunch it in the new year. Guess what it will be called?
