Unity Day 2015
Reading Time: 2 minutesChild free this year I managed a decent amount of photography at this year’s Unity Day. As ever it was a good event with lots of varied things to see and some awesome music.
...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Other Things
Occasional posts on other matters, or those of interest to people less interested in specific creative endeavours
Red Tie Ball
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is a charity event I shot recently for Elliot’s Footprint – a charity providing support for parents after losing a child. I have decided black tie (or even red tie) events are the most difficult thing to shoot as you usually have black suits …
Todmorden to Mytholmroyd – The Long Way Round
Reading Time: 4 minutesThis was quite a walk on a warm Easter Monday. It’s a fair trek up from Todmorden up to the tops, but it is spectacular when you get there. I walked up the tracks to Lumbutts Road, and then up over Hey Head Green. I …
Saltaire and Shipley Glen
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have visited Saltaire a few times, but never until now known about the little tramway up to Shipley Glen – this dates from 1895 and operates narrow guage cable hauled trams. It is a lovely ride up through the woods. Up at the top …
Fuckable Readhead
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis is a red belgian style ale, with a bit of added rye for a spicy twist. Assuming a conservative 50% home brew-house efficiency this should hit an OG of about 1058, a final gavity of about 1012 and an ABV of 6%. Anything more …
Remedy – March Free Party
Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother dose of clubbing shots from my regular haunt Remedy at Beaverworks in Leeds. I have played about with some zoom burst effects recently, and as always using my long shutter speeds for full psychedelic effect… This was an interesting night – the planned event …
A Detached Night
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis night was quite interesting as a photographer. I felt off all night – my back hurt and I had a dodgy stomach. I’ve managed some quite good shots, but it is interesting that in many of them my detachment from the night comes out …
Dirt Vs WYTM
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis was an interesting and challenging night. It’s a new night at Beaverworks, where I often shoot and had the interesting set up of a Metal and Alternative night (with live bands) at the top, and a techno night in the basement. There is actually …
Spooky Shoot
Reading Time: 2 minutesI spent the evening on Hallowe’en in a certain old Mill building in Holbeck where Photocamp Leeds had set up a spooky Hallowe’en shoot. I used this to experiment with a few different techniques – wide angle shots, using a Lensbaby for portraits, and off …
Hallowe’en in Space
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor one of the regular nights I shoot at, Remedy, Hallowe’en is the big one where they pull out all the stops to create a crazy and over the top event. I produced nearly 150 images from this event – this is just a small …
Light Night
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn event I always try and get to is the annual Night Light in Leeds, where various art installations and projections take over the city. I was all set to be really organised this year and plot a sensible path through the events, especially as …
