all geared up with no fair to go [to]
So for three nights I wandered down to the local field where the fairground had come to visit - only to come away with no pictures at all. Night 1 I was too early, I wanted dusk images of the moving attractions, night 2 - a Friday night - the light was perfect but the...
Some local bands
I realised that I take a fair few pics of local bands at local venues but they don't always make it onto this blog so I have added a few here, just for fun - and a couple of other oddities..
Cranbrook lightning
We drove home through a nice little summer storm last night, unfortunately the best of it had passed by the time I was able to get my camera set up and start taking pictures, still I was fairly happy with this one, it managed to include a nice red car trail too.
Scotney Castle in summer
Spent a few hours wandering around the Scotney Estate near Lamberhurst on a blisteringly hot Summer's day. There was planty to see including kestrel chicks, dragonflies, old ruins and sheep
a day at the museum
We spent the day wandering around the Natural History Museum in London so I thought it might be nice to try and capture some of the architecture - it is a beautiful building
North devon and Stonehenge
I tried to focus on a few items that weren't just the normal views this year, different perspectives really, this is more a shot of the ropes than Lynmouth harbour These next two shots were at Arlington court, I've always loved the textures of old headstones... and...
waterfalls of North Devon
So last week I was lucky enough to be walking around North Devon with my camera and tripod on the hunt for nice waterfalls, we found a couple of nice ones, the river was beautiful and begged for a couple of long exposure shots.
Hastings May Day Run
I popped down to the Hastings May Day Run today to try my hand at photographing a few pics of the bikes - I didn't want to take any 'people' shots or any individual bikes, I set out to try and show how many bikes were down there (estimates were in the region of...
An evening on the beach
Neil needed some shots for his video site so we went off to Pett Level beach as the sun was just going down to see what kind of shots I could produce. Luckily Becky came along as my willing assistant tonight, holding up the light stand, which would otherwise have...
A round of golf
I travelled off to deepest darkest Worthing to take some shots of the golf course, the weather was beautiful as were the views from the perfectly manicured green. It was certainly a pleasant afternoon and I can understand the appeal of golf as an excuse for a nice...
A weekend of music
A busy weekend involving lots of driving and lots of music did lead to a few pleasant shots of bands that I hadn't seen before. Shooting bands is more a battle of low lighting and terrible surroundings, so when a shot seems to manage to get around things, I always...
shooting Terry B
Time to take a couple of portraits... set up was pretty simple for these, just a couple of lights and a background sheet, I wanted to get a few styles of portrait and the change of background certainly made this simpler but I did get moodier shots against both.
