Photography
I know it's been too quiet around here lately, life has caught up with me on a number of levels over the last little while and I've just not had the energy to dedicate to photography or blogging. Thankfully we managed a really great holiday in France & Spain over the last couple of weeks.… Continue reading A Simple Pleasure!
A minimalist composition I liked the harder shadow of the CCTV.
Another entry in my ongoing 'Darkitecture' series encompassing images of unoccupied postwar buildings. This one is near the Old Street Roundabout in London. I particularly like the way that the metal shutters on the ground floor catch and reflect the light. Shot with a Zeiss 18mm lens on a Sony A7r
I had a bit of a protracted and unsatisfactory purchase from an Oxfam shop via eBay recently, however it worked out OK in the end I got an RTS III with a 25/2.8 MMJ Distagon, in place of the 28/2.8 that was originally advertised, OK it was full of Fungus but in the end that… Continue reading New things – Contax RTS III, Zeiss 25mm & Zeiss 18mm
I've built up a couple of fairly large bodies of work around the seaside town and Hastings Pier over the last few years. Here's an epic post of containing an edit of 46 shots from between 2008-2014 which I found on the old hard drive I found at the weaken, plus couple of new ones.… Continue reading Photo Essay – Seaside Towns
Now Sold I'm selling my spare 159MM on ebay.
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
Poor weather and a shortage of time yesterday, so here's a gear shot. While shooting the images for the Darkitecture II posts I managed to drop my 85/1.4 from about shoulder on to the paving slabs of Red Lion Square. It's the first time I've dropped a Zeiss lens, thankfully the build quality is such… Continue reading 28.01.14 -> Ouch
Murmuration is a word that's used for the flocks of starlings which are often seen circulating the Piers on England's South coast at this time of year. It's a particularly famous phenomenon in Brighton, which is the South Coast's most popular seaside town for day trips and short stays. Every even numbered year they have… Continue reading Murmuration
The picture above is a shot of my Father-in-law, wearing his new hat on Christmas day. I used the Zeiss 85mm f/2.8 AEJ on my Eos. Michael is a lovely guy but he's having a really hard time at the moment with his and his wife's health. I hope I've captured a little of his… Continue reading Michael
