...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Ths is a parent catagory for my photography projects. The natue of Wordpress means you may stumble here accidentally rather than on to the more specific projects. Feel free to look around while you are here.
Reading Time: 4 minutesFollowing last September’s walk out to Woodlesford I decided on a different leg of the Aire and Calder for another walk, from Castleford, out to Knottingley. So this time I started at the station, with a brief detour to test the low light capabilities of …
Reading Time: 4 minutes…I could price this picture as follows:
Canon EOS 1000D – £399 – I think this was about the price when the model stopped being the current one, obviously it is replaced with the 1100D now…
Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 – £550 – this is what i paid for my copy.
Jessops afd-360c – £79 – got of lightly here, the flashgun is quite a cheap one.
Kood UV filter – £10 – again, very light. I tend to use a cheap filter for protection in clubs as they get covered in smoke and crap very fast.
Batteries – £1.99 – for the flash, from Aldi.
Taxis to and from the venue – £11
Refreshments while working – £20 – beer basically. ok, I might be stretching it a bit now…
Total: £1070.99
I wonder what the girl on the left (who did download this and put it on her page) would say to receiving the bill?
Reading Time: 5 minutesInspired by a recent article on Digital Photography School I would also like to present some ideas for shooting beautiful impressionist images. Often in photography we strive to create realistic images, which are super-sharp and capturing what the eye actually sees. Of course, what the …
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: 3 minutesAnother year, another carnival. I kind of run out of things to say about the events, other than that they are always a riot of colour and a massive assault on the senses – the smell of barbecues, the sound(clash) of music over the whole …
Reading Time: 2 minutesvignette /viːˈnjɛt,vɪˈnjɛt/ noun For some reason I love the idea of a vignette in photography. A short visual statement which holds so much, but yet uncovered. Going back over the years shooting, there’s always a few odd images that have not made it into bigger …
Reading Time: 3 minutesOver the last couple of years of shooting, Ihave developed quite a thing for epic wide-angle scenes. I love the amount you can fit in and the really exagerated perspectives of wide angle shots. Having managed to be quite good with my svaings this year …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this final (for now) installment of Backstreets and Rooftops, I took myself deeper into the University Campus. I’ve been very inspired by this project, and hope to gather the absolute best of these (as I know I have posted many shots over these four …
Reading Time: 2 minutesPlaying some more with the rootop idea, I have gone down into the LS2 and Little Woodhouse area this time – somewhere I have not really explored in so much detail. Theres more of the redbrick here.
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 …
