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 …
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: < 1 minuteSome breif, boredom releiving experiments with the Lensbaby Macro Magnifiers. Just thought I would share this macro of a decayed, mummified russian dwarf hamster. You’re welcome.
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.
