...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutes Playing 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 minutes I’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 minutes I 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 minutes On 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 minutes Walking 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 minutes What could be a better antidote to the winter blues than this. An evening of Burlesque at the Brudenell Social. Photographers welcome.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Having 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: < 1 minutes We 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: 3 minutes I have been playing a little more with the fish eye adapter. We got the chance to visit the old St Marks church in Woodhouse where I again had the same issues as in the London Underground, with lack of light. Some more interesting shots …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Sometimes I do think that I am a little odd. I found these mushrooms growing on the edge of campus, and of course just had to get the camera and grovel about in the wet to take photos…
Reading Time: 2 minutes I took myself round and about Woodhouse Moor for a lunchtime walk, and to try and capture some of the colours of Autumn. Autumn is a funny month, nature displays some of the best colours of the year, but the weather so often fades these …
