All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
Reading Time: 6 minutesI have been waiting all year for these… Last year, I bought a couple of rolls of Rollei IR400 from AG Photographic, having read a bit about the crazy effects of infra-red photography. Shooting Infra-red Sadly this does not let you see through people’s clothes as some …
Reading Time: 5 minutesFisheye photography is fun. There is no denying this. It might not be big, or clever (as the professionals put it), but it is a laugh. The world looks at you through a funky bubble. Peoples noses get bigger. You can nearly see behind your …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve decided to make a bit of a push to do some more walking, and set off a few days ago to walk up to Woodlesford. This has been partly due to seeing a rather interesting wetland on google maps. More on that later. For …
Reading Time: 8 minutesToday I would like to share a tutorial about how I made one of my recent images – ‘Heading North, Heading Home’. My idea for this image was something a little crunchy – not fully crisp and bright, but blending the dirt of a northern …
Reading Time: 3 minutes…And at the end of the day, fashion photography is marketing.

Reading Time: 3 minutesI was invited to come and document this gig at TJ’s in Woodhouse, commemorating 200 year anniversary of the Luddite Rebellion, with Chumbawamba, Dan Audio and some other acts who have slipped my memory. The term Luddite is one often used as an insult and …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI found this little page today, and thought that I would re-blog it. http://pixelfarmize.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/xpro-film-chart/ It has got me thinking a bit about cross-processing, and the results that you get. Cross processing has become a bit of a trend at the moment, with the whole l*mography …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI got a tip off about this event, that a couple of contacts were playing at, that it may be worth a photography blag, which was successful. I’d not really been aware of Mush before, but it was a good blend of harder music and …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 3 minutesAlways carry a camera. This is about the most basic piece of advice for any photographer, and one that I did nor follow today, due to being half asleep this morning. I thought about it as I left, but decided I couldn’t be bothered going back to …
Reading Time: 4 minutesHaving been to a couple of parties here, I have been meaning for some time to visit here for some photography. With the Indian summer this last few days I’ve taken the opportunity to do so in the sunshine. Clayton Quarry, or more correctly Woodside …
