...a plethora of creative nonsense...
All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been out again with a further installment of the project to explore the backstreets and rooftops of Hyde Park – taking loose angled shots to explore the way we would see some of these places through the corner of our eyes, but would not …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI got out and a bout today to actually have a good outside test of the Plastic optic for my Lensbaby Composer, took it down to Woodhouse Moor to see what I could see. The weather is still vile, though as you can see a …
Reading Time: 2 minutesOn of the joys of living in a built up inner city area is the wildlife. I mean who could not adore the crows and seagulls squawking and bickering all the time. As you may guess I am being a little sarcastic here, but they …
Reading Time: 2 minutesWalking around Hyde Park, I have come up with an idea I want to play with. I have always been quite taken with the local roofscapes – in a heavily built up inner-city area like this there is such a jumble of walls and roofs, …
Reading Time: 4 minutesWhat could be a better antidote to the winter blues than this. An evening of Burlesque at the Brudenell Social. Photographers welcome.
I actually really enjoyed this. Of course, who (if you are into girls that is) would not like a bit of sexy performance. But it was a privilage to be able to take photos as well, as this is a new thing to try.

Reading Time: 2 minutesTo pass the time with this cold winter weather, I have been playing with some still life ideas. For Christmas I got the macro lens adapters for my Lensbaby Composer – these are old school simple magnifying lensses that screw into the filter thread. Combined …
Reading Time: 3 minutesHaving read about this slightly obscure and bizzare lens in Practical Photography, I decided I had to try one. Birthday present time… The Lensbaby Composer is a concept both simple and fraught with complexity. It is simple lens casing with a ball and socket joint, …
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s not often you get to meet a real reindeer, but we have had some visiting at work this week!
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe do love a good sunset here, and as we approach the turn of the year again, here’s just a few more that I have found lying about on the hard drives, in and amongst other sets this year.
Reading Time: 2 minutesPart of the structure of the fish-eye lens functions as a magnifier, and along with this I have picked up some other magnifying lenses. These are a cheap and ceerful way to get macro photography effects, by acting simply like a magnifying glass in the …
