This blog is all about my photography. It will give some insight into images I'm taking and exhibitions where you can see my images.

A few picks taken during a Melbourne Photographic Soc recent trip to the Aeropark at East Midlands Airport. The volunteers at the park open up late for us and allowed the snappers into some of the aircraft. Ian Pettit organised and cooked the end of evening BBQ to close off a great event.
A few snaps taken during a John Wesson tour . A full post on the tour to following latter in the week.
A few pics taken on Skomer and around Marloes.
Couple of pics of garden birds. Taken from my office.
Had a go a taking some car pics at Classic Car Weekend at Donington Race Track. Manage to get a few sharpish shoots.
Had a morning on Marloes Sands, lovely sunny day and nobody else on the beach. Fab.
Quick walk to Wilson and pint in the Bulls Head and a couple of snaps along the way. Great to see the sun again.
Lovely sunning day so went for a walk in Calke Park, Ticknall. I took a few pics with my IR converted SLR.
Last night I went to a Melbourne Photo Soc meet in Derby. We meet up to take some shoots around the Cathedral and surrounding streets. Due to the overcast sky and flat light we spent a fair amount of time complaining about the quality of the light, it must be that the old proverb is ture:
if more than two photographers gather to take photos they must past comment on the poor light
I guess it's like farmers complaining the weathers' not right.
My best shoots came right at the start of evening and right at the end. The starting pic was taken in the Pub car park and last one just as we packed up to go to the Pub.
I've been taking some shots of white tulips with natural light back lighting on a white background.
I will be running a workshop tomorrow night on using low light photography.
This hands on workshop shop will cover techniques that will open up the world of low light photography. We will cover fun and creative skills such as light graffiti, using flash stencils, making light orbs and creating pictures using light tracing.
The plan is to split into groups to cover the key skills :
1. Light graffiti – we will use torches to draw pictures.
2. Flash stencil – we cover how to make stencils and create pictures using stencils.
3. Light orbs – we use strings of lights to make light orbs and create pictures of light orbs in the hall.
4. Light tracing – by using a single point LED light source we will produce an image using light contours.
What you need to bring with you:
We will be working in groups of two or three, each group will need, a tripod, camera(s), shutter release cable (if you have one, if not you can use the cameras’ self timer), light source to paint light. The light source can be any type of torch; good ones to use are small maglights or single LED’s, but any small torch will do.
Just got a lovey Fuji x100. I have been after one for some time as it offers all I need in a small camera and I love the viewfinder and retro style.
Just setup squarespace account to try out it out to see if I can use it to set up a site for my pics.
