Pointing up to the ceiling in the corridor of our office and then processed in Lightroom.
I DO need to get out more!

I took the Fuji point and shoot camera to work again today and got this shot as I left the office and the light was fading. It’s the disabled section of the office car park and my shadow from two floodlights. I initially tried to disguise the fact I’m holding a camera but the shape looked poor so I introduced the arm.
David’s sketches for the preliminary discussion about the V5 ePHOTOzine home page redesign.
I decided to shoot it at a jaunty angle and then use my cross processing preset in Lightroom.
We covered a lot of ground in the meeting and work will go ahead on it in a few weeks.
This photo is part of my Photo365 project where I take and upload a photo each day. The rest can be seen in previous pages of my blog.
As I was taking a photo of a flower in a vase using this bulb as illumination to create a deep shadow I suddenly thought…here’s an idea I’ve always wanted to do and never got round to it. An illuminating light bulb.
So I had a go. I may do it again when I have a free evening so I can set up the lighting better for the bulb , but you get the idea, and as a first attempt I’m quite pleased.
Two shots one with the bulb in a holder lit, the second with the bulb in its final position. I then merged the two in Photoshop, using layer mask to help the blend.
Many of my Photo365 project pictures are still lifes taken at home…it’s starting to make me realise I don’t get out and about enough. This is down to the monster I’ve created in ePHOTOzine – it consumes most of my time. So a quick snap here and there is usually all I am getting chance to do. That said the blog has ensured I’ve used the camera daily and I’ve tried to be as creative as possible in the space of time I have.
It’s more than I have been doing in previous years and I’m building up a healthy collection of potential stock images. As the weather improves I intend to go further afield and hopefully the blog will reflect this.
I’m on day 52, and today’s photo was a struggle. I was in the office till late and when I got home I wanted to watch a friend’s Channel 4 Dispatches program about hospital food before I start on the gallery to look at today’s uploads. So I’ve had very little time but managed to squeeze in this shot – just before I ate it.
They say an apple a day is a healthy option – well it certainly was for the health of my Photo365 shot for today. I placed it on a red painted canvas and lit from overhead with a softbox to give the deep shadow underneath. I got the photo in one shot, ate the apple and here I am.
I went out round Sheffield this afternoon photographing old derelict industry buildings around Shalesmoor / Kelham Island. I decided at the beginning of the year to build up a collection of old historic buildings before they’re knocked down/ converted into flats. While I was out I spotted this abandoned shopping trolley.
There isn’t a supermarket near by as far as I know so I have no idea why it ended up there.
I started off taking photos of glow stick patterns, and then I added a Biro to see how much light they projected, this then turned into the main focus of my photo. To make things more visually interesting I switched the Biro for an ink pen.
A glow stick was placed at each side of the nib and just out of frame to give the outline while two more where held above the pen to fill in the top area.
Had a recording session with Sound of Flak this evening so I thought I’d do one of my abstract instrument shots. This is of the Roland V-Synth with the Apple Mac in the background. It’s processed using Lightroom to get the cool effect.
This was taken as a quick grab shot before a meeting today. I used a small Fuji point & shoot compact. And used Lightroom to add grain and tone give it a Victorian postcard feel.
I used to go to the East Coast for my family holidays as child, Skipsea to be precise. It was a great location for finding fossils as the coastline suffered badly from erosion each year. I remember finding lots of interesting fossils on walks with my mother.
Last year I returned and the road our caravan was on has been taken by the sea but the coastline looks similar, there’s just several yards less of it. I found this fossil on the same part of the coast, and today decided to photograph it on a slate background. The brown patch to the upper left is a crushed leaf that has been on the slate for a number of years.
