a lone boat in Broadstairs

there were all of these beech huts around the beech which I though made quite an interesting photograph

careful… it’s fragile…

First of all I need to thank Jade for helping set this shot up and made the whole day photographing so much fun.

This isn’t the sort of thing I usually shoot but hey it was such good fun, we took a couple of really cool shots so I’ll probably upload them over the next few days as it seems a waste just to leave them on my hard drive

careful...

Remember me…?….

So yesterday was my first upload on Flickr for…months.

Anyway I’m back, fully loaded with a brand new 50mm lens (YAY!) and I just can’t wait to take a mass of photos and share them with you all. I may think about restarting a 365 or 52 but for now I just want to enjoy taking photos while I have the time and let the creative juices flow, so to speak!

So in case anyone is interested in how I staged this shot here goes. I couldn’t afford the strobist equipment usually required to do this so I had to get thinking. I positioned a powerful lamp behind me (to the left) and on the other side had a mirror reflecting the light back onto the other side of my face.

Look out for more uploads soon :D

Remember

eyes for you… 22/365

Slightly belated Happy Valentines day to all!

As you can see I spent the best part of the weekend on photoshop!

Hope you all had a great weekend

I…LOVE…GUITAR HERO!!

This shot looks like I have no eyes!

As with the last two days SOOC, I just haven’t had any time to do any editing.

We’ve had this old Praktica Film SLR upstairs for an age so I though I might as well put it to some use! Gotta get me some film soon!

SOOC! :D

I have barely been awake the last 3 days! Energy drinks non-stop have just about seen me through the day!

SOOC! :)

lips… 18-365

On reflection I wish I had focused on the eyes but hey ho!

I actually had an additional lamp for lighting which was used so you can see the lips on the lighter otherwise it was just black.

I’m having one of those weeks where….”I JUST CAN’T WAIT TILL FRIDAY!”

P.S. If you want to see slightly larger versions of the photographs just click on them and it will link to my Flickr account

I kind of ran out of time today, I have so much work to do…

Again this is SOOC apart from the crop.

Check out the bokeh in the eyes :D
