Well hardly but I enjoyed getting the shot. The camera Olympus EP2 with fish eye adaptor was placed on the soil pointing up with the timer set for 12 seconds. The exposure was set to plus 3 stops to ensure I came out exposed correctly with the backlight. And then with the shutter pressed I […]

A shot of the expert mouser on the case, shot from a mouse eye view. He sniffed out the hole and was pawing away to catch his prey. I was trialling the new Olympus Pen fisheye converter on the 14-42mm MkII I had to shoot at high ISO4000 to stop the movement and get a […]
I went out on a cycling to Clumber this afternoon with the purpose of playing with the Photosynth app of the iPhone. I took a detour from the normal track through a more dense woodland area. It was quiet and quite spooky, especially when I came to these trainers placed eerily in the centre of […]
Part five of my seven part rainbow series within my photo365 project brings me to the colour blue. A bar of blue soap on a blue towel taken with the Pentax K5 and 16-45mm zoom. The illumination is a ringlight which gives a soft shadow around the subject.
Part four of my rainbow theme within the photo365 project is Green. You can’t fail with nature. Here’s the bud of a flower still looking green against a background of leaves. It’s taken with the Pentax K5 and 100mm macro lens.
On what will probably be my next to last poppy shot I decided to position the camera so that a poppy head was filtered by a foreground poppy petal. The long lens (500mm Tamron) has thrown the front petal totally out of focus resulting in a colour cast over the entire photo but no detail. […]
The third in my rainbow colour series following on from red and orange is yellow. An abstract shot of a patio umbrella taken through a patterned glass pane in a kitchen door. I’ve always been fascinated with how patterned glass distorts shapes, in this case the focus is on the glass itself and the umbrella […]
I was taking some photos of the yellow lines on a rotary washing drier for my rainbow colour theme for the Photo365 project and this female blackbird came and sat on the edge. Unprepared and interrupted I got a few snaps. I was using a mirror lens so you can see the doughnut style catchlights […]
I went to a car boot sale this morning looking for old items for steam punk props. When I’d finished i took a few sneaky hipstamatic Up close candids. Four or five of my candids where actually looking right into the lens of the camera. I think they knew what I was doing, even though […]
