I love chickpeas…and as I’ve started to cook more this is one ingredient I’ll be slipping into meals from time to time. So today I’m cooking Moroccan Chicken which includes a cup (American recipe) of chickpeas And my photo365 for today started out to be a head shot over a plate of chickpeas as a […]

I was in Poundland and saw a gadget that I thought might come in handy for photographers. I decided to buy one, try it and write a short review. The item was a Camping LED light and the review is here Camping LED Light I got a few decent straight pictures from it but nothing […]
I had good intentions tonight, but tv and cooking got in the way…so I did a rush job on this. My idea was to create a wonderful still life of a red wine bottle and glass with wine. I used a softbox with mask as a back light to create the rim light. And manual […]
The ePHOTOzine weekly black & white challenge has a theme neglect. As a kid I always remember the garden shed as being a place that had areas of neglect. While my mum used most of it for potting plants there were darker areas that housed spiders and masses of thick webs. I decided to try […]
Having caught the bug to photograph old buildings I headed off to my old haunt of Sheffield today to take a look at one of the areas that still has it’s roots back in the days of cutlery of the mid to late 1800s. The area around Milton Street / Egerton Road is steeped in […]
Inspired by ePHOTOzine member Ade McFade‘s passion for photographing the architecture of Leeds and surround areas I decided to do the same in my local region starting in my home town of Worksop. This shot is down a street near the town centre that I only discovered the other day and I’ve been here for […]

I don’t know about you but the first day is spent fiddling around with the features, and i was eager to try the ART modes. They need suitable subjects and a […]
Today I have photographed asparagus. I’ve never been keen on it as a food, but I was in the supermarket last night looking at clinically perfect peppers and saw bunches of asparagus and thought – kill two new year resolutions with one stone – more photography and more cooking. The peppers didn’t have the shape […]
Today I took a trip down memory lane and photographed objects against a Venetian blind. The last time I did this seriously was back in the 80s in a terraced house I lived in. I shot them on Hassleblad and they were some of may favourite shots. So today I recreated that experience using a […]
Today’s project is another version of cross polarisation I’ve been doing a bit of lately. In this example I turned my LCD computer screen on its back facing upwards. This became the base for a collection of cheap disposable shot glasses (£1 for 40 from Poundland). I arranged them in a pattern, edged up side […]
