Another idea I had today with a different composition.... Looks like a fountain this time. If I get any other rush to the brain, it'll be put into practice. I don't think there can be many more permutations ...... watch (pardon the pun) this space.

DO YOU WANT TO GO ON A JOURNEY? But one without all the problems like a jetlag? But also one in which you still have the travel "feeling"? Well, than you're at the right blog! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We're photographers, right? If I go to...

You would be surprised at where you can find a abstract made by nature. I found these abstracts (click blue writing to find more photographs natural abstracts ) while out walking with my Dog. they are all captured in frozen muddy puddles. the ice and mud produced a natural abstract with some pre...

Oh please take your mind out of the trash! I recently added a new category called “Getting Down and Dirty” to my website. This by know means, means I have veered off into the land of pornography – sorry to disappoint. :) One of the things I love about my ever growing photography skill, is the...

This was the only photograph I took today, and it really reminded me of a glass sheet hologram that I gave to my dad one father’s day. However, part of the reason for that can be seen in the petal in the rear left of the photograph. If you look closely, you can see a bit of chromatic abberatio...

I’ve been working some pretty long hours since I started my new placement, so I’ve had to be creative today. I didn’t realise we had so many serrated knives. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 270mm; ISO 200; F/9; 1/160s. VC on.

This is a collection of some the State quarters that I accumulated before leaving the US a few years ago. Unfortunately there were another ten circulated after I left, so I’ve not got the full set. However, I do have one for each of the eleven states I have set foot in, so that’s something at lea...

This little fellow (and he was small, as you’ll see if you skip forward a bit) was trucking across the floor of my home today. I relocated him to the sink to see just how close I could get, sticking a +3 dioptre on to the front of the lens, and using a flashgun to negate the daft exposure time...

With the first signs of warmer weather now starting to appear, I decided to photograph some of the local flora. There was a large clump of these snowdrops just by the road outside Wentworth, apparently in their prime. I’ve cross-processed this shot in Nik Effex 3.0, just to enhance the dream-l...

Detail from the underside of a dried starfish. The area you see here is about an inch across, and was taken with a +3 close-up dioptre bought for £20 mounted on to the Tamron 18-270 PZD. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 270mm; ISO 200; F/18; 1/800s. VC off.

I’ve been in the house on my lonesome today while my fiancee has toured South Yorkshire in pursuit of the perfect wedding dress (which I am told she has now found). As such, I’m raiding the fridge for subjects. If you are going to shoot close-up subjects with the Tamron 18-270 PZD, then the...

Whilst my fiancee was trying on wedding dresses, I took a look around Sheffield’s Botanical Gardens. This young fern drew my eye, and I spent quite a while choosing the best combination of focal length, aperture and working distance to get the effect I wanted, with the emphasis on getting a pl...

The reason for yesterday’s run-around was this. I was approached after a display of my work and asked for a bespoke print of my shot from Day 144. I was quite excited about this for a number of reasons. First of all, I’ve only recently sourced a way of having large-format panoramic prints done...

We’ve spent the day doing various shopping trips, part of which involved picking up some art supplies. On returning home, my fiancee surprised me by producing a book that I’d been eyeing up in the store, which contains amongst other things a vast range of patterned origami papers. The instruct...

When the weather forces you indoors, it’s best to turn to studio work. I like to have a few models on standby, and this one works for tap water. No close up filters used for this, just the tamron 18-270 PZD and a couple of small flash units. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 110mm; ISO 2...
