Photography
At the end of the double yellows is a building I really like, designed by Amanda Levete Architects, which is almost impossible to photograph, because it's on a narrow alley. The architects have, cleverly, peeled the facade back and allowed light into the building. I'd love to say I'd deliberately balanced the red of the… Continue reading 27.02.14 -> Vanishing Point
Maybe I wouldn't cry, but the basic sentiment holds. How many Tes-bury's does any area need? Zeiss 28/2.8 MMJ on NEX-6
Sort of a filler to my Photo-a-day project; it's an eBay product shot, but it's still a photo and it had to be done! I just put my scruffy old 28mm AE version up for sale as I've replaced it with a nicely priced new MM version from Cameraworld who, it seems don't really have… Continue reading 30.01.14 -> For Sale
We live between Hastings (more accurately St. Leonard's on Sea) and Hackney. We were back in Hastings for the weekend and went out and about shopping in the Old Town for the first time in ages, had lovely Monmouth Coffee in Penbuckle's and acquired a new dining table for the Hackney flat on one of… Continue reading 11.01.14 – > Stade
I did mention that I'm a bit of a fan of Rut Blees Luxembourg's photography when I posted my image taken on January the 3rd "Constellation" and this image could be seen as a bit of a homage to her "Towering Inferno" image. This was taken on the NEX-6 with my Zeiss C/Y fit 28mm f/2.8… Continue reading 08.01.14 -> “Towering”
Walking found the back of the SMAK contemporary art museum in Ghent this rope ladder hanging from the roof eaves appealed to me. You can kind of imagine it as part of an Art Heist! Taken on the NEX-6 with a 28/2.8 Distagon.
On my second day of snapping I found this shop window with a series of stuffed foxes, in the Bij Sint-Jacobs. The shot was taken with the Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Distagon on my NEX-6.
I've decided to make a 2014 photo-per day post on this site. It's safe to assume that mostly they are going to be taken with my DSLR or NEX-6 where possible I'll do all of the photos with Zeiss, Yashica or maybe Tamron glass. Of Course, I'm already a week behind on the uploads. This… Continue reading 01.01.14 -> Helter Skelter
I recently went 'home' to Scotland and grabbed a few shots of places and houses that were important to me growing up (my grandparents houses in both cases). I chose to shoot with my recently acquired Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 AEJ. This lens is a replacement for one I owned when I first started getting in… Continue reading Goodbye Agnes
