Festive Bokeh

Happy New Year to everyone :-) I hope that you all enjoy a great New Years Eve and best wishes for 2009.

Seasons Greetings

I hope that you enjoyed a very good and relaxing Christmas. I had a good one although slightly over shadowed by a cold which materialised on Christmas afternoon and is still with me but going to try and subdued it a little with some alcohol tonight as I'm off for drinks round a friends place!

I have got another week off before heading back to work so will just have to make up for lost time :)

Here are a few festive shots...

Flag Silhouette

Firstly, let me apologise with the lack of updates on my blog recently. I have been kept very busy with all things Christmas!

Here is another shot taken on the same evening as the flag waving



Hopefully I will be able to get the camera out a lot over the Christmas period....

Quick Work Time Lapse

A quick time lapse video of me at work a few Fridays ago. You can see a few more of my short time lapse videos here.

More Photoshoot Pictures And Setup

Following on from my Photoshoot With A Friend I thought I would post a photo of some of the kit I used.

I borrowed a couple of large fans and used clamps and cable ties to secure to a step ladder to get the correct height. I was hoping that the fans would be powerful enough to give the impression that some of the shots were taken in high wind but unfortunately they were not! I also attached a lamp to the ladder so I could experiment with the lighting a little.



Here are a few more shots taken on the day using this setup that I have processed. As you can see on the first image I have been experimenting with textures again.
