Flip Flops Flipped

I have a dark frosted glass computer desk and cleaned it for the first time in a while yesterday and thought "hey, I could get some good reflections in that now it's clean"!!

I looked around the room for something to try it out with and spotted my new North Face flip flops.

Here is the resulting picture...

Camping - Back To Basics

I recently went camping with a group of friends down in Swanage. I took my trusty S2 but the rechargeable batteries which I juiced up before the trip appear to have given up the ghost :(

I therefore, had to rely on my iPhone 4! I haven't taken many camera phone pictures recently as I had an iPhone 3G for 2 years and the camera was really awful so got out the habit of taking quick snaps with the phone. The iPhone 4 is OK during the day and the HD video is pretty good but the camera does struggle in low light and the flash isn't anything to write home about.

Anyway, here is a quick compilation all my iPhone pictures and videos from the weekend.

Night Light Fun

I went out yesterday evening to do some night photography with Jez from jezwhitworth.co.uk. We had planned to do some night sky / lunar photography but as usual the British weather was a let down and it was over cast.

But, not ones to be beaten we still headed out with our kit to the Clarendon Palace Ruins just outside Salisbury.

Had a really enjoyable evening playing around with cameras, flashguns, torches and LED rings. We did most of the shots on Jez's camera so look forward to seeing how they turned out but here are a few that I did take.

This is me on the DIY LED ring and Jez light painting the flowers
