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....

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.

Jumping to Conclusions

Finally got around to posting my first picture taken with the Canon RC-1 remote. Thought I'd try a jump / levitation type shot and quite like the result. Who said White Men Can't Jump!!

Oops, you can still actually see the remote in my right hand!! :)

Wetsuit Required

One of the first portrait shots taken with the Nifty Fifty. This is also another example of using textures on my photographs.

Sometimes Life Can Be a Blur

Days, months & years seem to go by so quickly the older that you get. The pace of life can sometimes be a blur!

On Flickr I have been following the exceptional work of a photographer called rosiehardy. She produces some amazing and creative work and I wish I had a fraction of her talent. I read this post on her and aknacer's (another exceptional photographer) blog about using textures and was inspired to give it a go.

Here is the original


It was a bit of a quick basic go at the technique but I am pleased with the results.
