I was at Redhouse in Sheffield last night for the Etheria 2011 – a gig billed as deliciously Dark Acoustic. I went primarily to see the headline act seiben but enjoyed seven acts including (in order of appearance)
Diz Carberry – acoustic guitar
Hungarian Lanterns three piece – with guitar bass, mandolin and piano
Actual Midgets – one guy with an Eko bass pedal and guitar/harmonica…
Fran Smith – piano and vocals
Paul Littlewood Lead singer from Fallen Trees on acoustic guitar
Dyonisis acoustic set from twin-vocal ethereal rockers with acoustic guitar and bass
Sieben Looped violin genius
I took a few pics with the Olympus EP2 and this was one of the best of vocalist Anthony J Brown of Hungarian Lanterns
It’s my photo365 for yesterday. It’s really noisy because the lighting was minimal so the ISO racked up.

The last of my mini rainbow series is a storage box lid with some strands from a place-mat arrange in a symbol style. It’s minimal but fit my brief. It’s part of my photo365 project.
Taken with a Pentax K5 and 16-45mm lens.
A vase which was as near to indigo as I could find, although the definition of indigo does vary wildly on the internet from a rich blue to a radiant purple. Is this your definition of indigo? It’s an indigo subject to fit my rainbow theme I’ve been doing within my photo365 project. This is part six of a seven part series.
Taken with the Pentax K-5 and 16-45mm zoom.
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 stepped into place. It took a few shots to get the can in the right place and right angle.
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 fast speed as he wasn’t having any cameras point at him, so it’s noisy.
This picture is dedicated to one of the true genius of ePHOTOzine – Warb. He did a version of this back in 2005 called Sunday Shave and I gave it an EC. I decided to recreate it. I don’t think I’ve done as well, but I’m pleased with what I got. It took quite a long time to get the light, water depth, focus and distance right, but I got there in the end. Mine is quite static and staged whereas Warb’s really looks like it’s taken in a bathroom in real time.
It’s taken using the Olympus EP2 and 14-42mm zoom.
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 the path. So I grabbed a shot with the Hipstamatic.
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. So the background focused poppy head is sharp with a colour wash over the top.
Cokin used to sell a filter that had a colour effect similar to this so I’m pleased with the natural (free) result.
