L.E.D. street lighting.

During the last few weeks the council has been replacing the energy inefficient sodium street lighting with the greener L.E.D. lamps. What a difference in the light quality! ...... ...... a single exposure..... no blending. ..... Individual co...

Day 218: Spokes

Another day on the bike, but I didn’t take any photos while I was out, so I opted for another detail shot on return. This was another one of those shots where I considered the focal length to use first, needing a wide angle and minimal distortion...

Day 209: Anything that’s not nailed down…

…or is. You can’t turn your back for a minute round here it seems. Amazingly, I would have expected this spade to get lifted. But apparently that would be too easy. They just took the shed from around it! Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 60mm...

Day 208: Rotherham Minster

I took a walk into town this evening to shoot the most prominent of our local landmarks. I used a small ballhead underneath the lens to keep the camera at the correct angle, although the rest of the tripod stayed in the car. I did a bit of sensor...

Day 193: The Captain’s seat

Ted seemed to be looking out of the window this evening. I loved the way the light seemed to wrap around him. There wasn’t much of it, so I turned off the VC and stuck the camera on a tripod. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 38mm; ISO 200; F/10...

Day 107: A Very Scottish Wedding

This is the challenge which I’ve been most worried about. I was the first person to be approached for photography after my cousin announced his engagement. It’s always an honour to be considered, because wedding photos probably have greater l...

Day 102: Twinkle twinkle…

This is one that really needs to be seen it as large as possible. It’s a very subtle image, and it loses something every time it’s downsized. When you’re photographing stars with a wide angle lens, you’re at the mercy of the resolving power ...

Day 90: Rawmarsh Hill

I considered walking around the local churchyard this evening, but got distracted by an unlocked gate (this is something which happens regularly). Instead I ended up in the World War II memorial garden, which is small, but well-placed for the vi...

Day 84: Pushing the limits for low light

Let’s get this out of the way first. If you’re reading this and you’re not a photographer, you should probably just skip to the pictures. I’m about to lose some of my readers with some technical jargon. Sorry about that. Today you’re going to ...

Day 82: Reading between the lines

Reading between the lines I spend my Tuesday evenings in Rotherham College of Art and Technology, and I think that it’s (unsurprisingly) a building with lots of photographic potential: geometric patterns and lines; bold colours and loads o...

Day 76: myplace Rotherham

myplace Rotherham In the year since I moved here, I’ve gradually seen this built from the ground up. While I think it looks slightly out of place at the moment (as the first of a few planned developments), I think it’s a wonderful looking bu...

63 - 365

Not taking the pith! Another test shot, this time of an orange, taken at closest focussing distance, hand held in same room as before (dullish light) first at f1.8 and focused on the middle of the front of the orange, the scond was shot set at f16...

Day 57: Coffee break

Coffee break It’s now the end of a very busy week. I’ve not had much energy or inclination to get out today, and as I will be very active over the coming days, I decided to try making something out of nothing, from the bits and bobs lying about t...

Day 54: High reflectance

High reflectance Tonight I gave a talk to Rotherham Photographic Society on HDRI and tonemapping. It seemed appropriate to use something familiar for the practical demonstration, so I shot this outside the building where their meetings are he...

Day 44: Men at Work?

Men at Work? So what do you do when you get out of work late, and all the light’s gone? Drive around until you find something that catches your eye. I love the way that construction machinery looks under the work lights, and you can pla...
