POTD Thursday, 29 Jan 2013 : Cough sweet

Still catching up on the posting… The vignette was done in post production but everything else was done in camera…. single off camera flash (via 3m ETTL lead) camera left pointing at the sweet. Background 2-3m away so minimal light hitting it.. Shoot along the grain to create lead-in lines and tilt the camera to give an interesting angle… and … Continue reading

POTD Thursday, 24 Jan 2013 : Entrance to Woodbank Memorial Park

Playing catch-up…. This is the entrance to Woodbank Park, almost next door to my Studio. I've processed this in Lightroom to try to give a bit of a lomography effect to it (Green/brown duo tone, post crop vignette, and reduced saturation). Oh yes and in camera I threw in a quirky angle just for good measure! PLEASE NOTE: This is … Continue reading

POTD Thursday, 22 Jan 2013 : Stockport Library and the A6 at Night

Playing catch-up on the posting. I'll be honest, this is very much a grab shot. I came out of the theatre after watching "Rope" and realised I still hadn't taken a photo today. No tripod, camera balanced on a barrier and held as steady as I could. Which is why the top of the library is missing from the shot. … Continue reading
