If you’ve followed my photo365 you will know I’m a fan of shallow focus, and bolting things on the front of a camera that weren’t designed to be bolted on. My latest purchase is an 85mm f/1.8 Canon FD lens. You can buy lenses of this type on eBay for far less than the modern […]

Having been inspired by the pepper splash series that Dave Ovendon posted a few years ago on ePHOTOzine , Ive been meaning to have a go myself. My first recollection of this type of photography was a brilliant photo posted by iraddict way back in the early days of ePHOTOzine. It was a green toy […]
I went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a few hours today. Took a bag full of Pentax kit and the iPhone. I love using the iPhone. If only you could control focus and exposure – it would be even better. I came back with just short of 400 shots. I saw some new sculptures today […]
I sometimes get inspiration from photos in galleries or stores. While in B&Q last week I saw a framed photo of a bear in a bed. So I thought I’d get my old old friend out and photograph him. This is the bear I had as a kid. It was already quite old when I […]
Today seemed to be a day of power. It started when I decided to go on a bike ride. I haven’t been on the bike for a few weeks and some areas where quite a struggle on my route. Mostly flat, but the hills hurt and power was certainly needed in the legs. I cycled […]
Sometimes there’s a limit to what you need to do to promote something. In this case the price of the car wash service is stated five times. I was tempted to go up and ask how much the car wash service was…like the sketch where the person goes into Poundland and asks how much something […]
The pomegranate brings back childhood memories of the unusual fruit I’d have between bonfire night and Christmas. We used to have a fruit and veg van come round our estate and I’d always go with mum to help carry back the goods. Pomegranates were the fruit I looked forward to (along with fizzy pop and […]
Or my pair of bowling shoes taken today on the ePHOTOzine Christmas staff outing. We played four gamed of bowls followed by lunch at TGI Friday’s (I had surf and turf) and then a few of us went on for drinks in Worksop. The shoes are normally really grubby, but I was fortunate enough to […]
It’s been three weeks since my last cinema record shot, and you can see it’s now starting to take shape, with glass mirrored windows up the front and side. This promises to be an interesting building for reflections when it’s complete. Taken using HDR mode on iPhone but I appear to have moved between shots […]
