Garden Photography

I enjoy getting out in my garden on a nice day, get a few snaps here and there.
Using a range of different apertures to get the effect and depth of field I needed for that specific image.



Macro Shots here and There..

Macro shots in my eyes is one of the best points in photography. Getting up nice and close to the flower, not only to smell, but see every fine detail on each and every petal or leaf.




Memories of Spain

This year, again for around the 7th year running my holiday was in Marbella, Spain. A lovely area of Spain with many beaches, roof top views and more to take great photos, alongside this the great weather for natural lighting!









Watermark

Well, recently decided to just erase my posts for a while and watermark my photography.
I am doing this to prevent any idiots,  I shall say, out there from stealing my work. It is actually a big thing, many people take others work, photos, designs etc and pass it off as their own.

The ONE big thing though, is know-one can re-create the time, date, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and many other properties of a camera, unless they were there at the very same place at the very same time, which, is impossible. :)

Images such as my light painting I will not watermark as they are only experiments anyway.

Photos and work will be back up soon.

Light Painting / Drawing

Most of us will have seen the TalkTalk advert, and also the beginning of the X-Factor. Well, that is light painting. If you still do not know what i am rambling on about, then just wait and look at my images, you will soon tell.

Well, i am currently doing this at college, in my photography class. I had already played around with shutter speeds and light painting so had a fair bit of knowledge on the area. The only difference is we do not set the shutter speed to say, 13seconds, we put the camera to B mode. This means, for as long as the shutter is being held down, the image is still taking. We were using ISO 200, and F16. Manual focus on as we were going into pitch black and auto-focus would have been all over the place.

I currently do not have my images from college, but i have a few of my own experiments, so i'll show you those for now.




Website Design.

I have always been a fan of web design. I love hitting photoshop with a few ideas and creating an awesome design. But lately i hadn't, so decided to get open photoshop and give it a go.
The name on this design is not real (or not as far as i know) and is not a design made for anyone. It was simply to clear off the rust with my skills.

Joby Gorillapod Review

Well, first of all, this is a small review on the Joby Gorillapod. A nice and lightweight tripod that can, infact fit in your pocket if needed. This tripod probably is only best suited to more compact camera as of the such small frame. It is only around 6 or 7 inches tall off the ground, BUT because of the great bending legs on it, it can wrap around anything you may want it too. A pole, a tree branch, lay on the floor, anything!
