Signs of Spring At Brampton Wood

Recently, I haven't had much time for photography.  But, I did manage to get out to Brampton Wood for a couple of hours, in search of some early signs of spring.

Pinhole photography at Wimpole

Some time ago I bought a Holga pinhole lens.  Other than the odd shot, I haven't really used it.  So on Sunday I took a walk around the Wimpole estate park with my 7D mark II and the Holga pinhole.  I concentrated on the bare trees and the restored folly.  The resultant images I processed with Nik Silver Efex and Analog Efex to get some ancient looking grimy pictures.

Back to the usual

After briefly stepping out of my comfort zone for the last post, I am firmly back in it with this one.  Snowdrops at Anglesey Abbey.

 

Something Different

Studio portrait work is something I have done rarely.  However, I recently got the chance whilst visiting my friend Vic.  Vic is a member of Preston Photographic Club.  A mate from the club, Bernie, was able to book a studio for a couple of hours on a dull Saturday afternoon.  So, the 3 of us spent a couple of hours doing a fashion shoot with an excellent model, named Leigh. We tried out a two basic lighting set ups, doing our best to vary the limited setting with a couple of outfit changes for Leigh and some simple props.

Christmas Lights - London

We are still in the Christmas period (sort of), so it's still acceptable to post some shots of Christmas lights.  These were taken around Regent Street, just before the big day.

Christmas Wreaths

This is the result of a mini project I did last year between Christmas and New Year.  Some of the images were shot in Cambridge, others in New Malden.  I was only questioned once as to why I was photographing peoples houses.

Merry Christmas.

Hartland Quay

Hartland Quay is one of my favourite spots in the world.  I visit, at least once, whenever I am in Devon. Yet it remains somewhere I have never managed to take an image that I am truly happy with.  One that captures the wild, rugged beauty of the place.   But, still I try.
