Reading Time: 4 minutes This is one of those posts with no real reason, other than as a reminder to see fun and enjoyment and photgraphic opportunites in every circumstance. We decided the other day to take a walk down through woodhouse ridge, to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm on …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I went for a little walk up in the woodland of Meanwood park the other day, and decided to limit myself to my Canon 1000D and a simple 50mm prime lens. I did a few portraits of my family, but also had a little play …
Reading Time: 8 minutes Today 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 I 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.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Following on from my recent water pictures in Kirkstall I have had a further play with the neutral density filters and slow shutters in Knaresborough. The first set of these are just off Riverside, under the castle. There’s not as much movement in the water …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve taken the Lensbaby with the Plastic Optic, and a new star filter out for an evening walk the other day. Talking to both the world through plastic idea and the Backstreets and Rooftops project this has created some intresting and slightly tripped out images.
