New Forest Church
This weekend I spent the Bank Holiday in The New Forest with my Mum, On Sunday we went for a lovely walk, about 8 miles. The weather was great and despite initially heading out with waterproofs we both ended up lightly dressed. I wanted to shoot a couple of churches that I had been to [...]
Tilt Shift Testing at The Shard
You should all know how I love my panoramas by now, well I am thinking about investing in a 17mm tilt-shift, so decided before making a (substantial) dip into Mr Visa’s pocket that I should probably try one out. Last weekend I got my hands on a TS-E 17mm F4 lens. There’s an excellent explanation [...]
London – South Bank at Night
Another from my Saturday trip out to The South Bank. This is a stitched panorama made up of six or seven images with 3 brackets each. It was taken with my new (second hand) Sigma 12-24. I’m partially happy with the lens, its a bit soft after using the 24-105 L thought, so I have [...]
London – Price Waterhouse Cooper
After a trip to see a friend I decided that I should go check out the South Bank with my camera. Its not often that you get hte chance to shoot anywhere in London without people, so I figured that midnight would be a good dimer to see what I could do. I’m also very [...]
Hellingly
Here’s a typical scene from the now demolished Hellingly Asylum, sad to see it go, but I guess there has to be progress.
Hellingley
Another corridor in the now demolished mental asylum. I’m having trouble being creative with my writing at the moment, lots on my mind and lots to do, it seems to be sapping my thought process hence the lack of ‘wordy-ness’ recently!
Sheffield Abandoned Factory
After searching through the archives I came across this shot – Its a pretty straight forward image and not the most interesting I must admit, however it was nice and easy to produce for a Sunday morning. We’d actually gone to do some graf hunting, looking for a pigs arse of all things, which we [...]
Tate Entertaining
I’ve done some work for Tate Catering a few times in the past and was lucky enough to get asked back last week. Tate Catering do the food for The Tate, both Tate Modern and Tate Britain, its generally high end cuisine accompanied equally fantastic wine. I really enjoy shooting this sort of thing, It’s [...]
Battersea Power Station
A few weekends ago I went to take an image that I’ve been after for a long time. I was hoping to catch a pano from this spot but unfortunately my camera failed me, or more to the point, it wouldn’t expose long enough to get any useful data from the ground. I may still [...]
The Alma, Crystal Palace #3
The final instalment of my Alma set. I’ve devcided to add a gallery of the images rather than do many posts one after the other. There’s little more to say apart from its a great pub with excellent food created by Daniel Mayers who is passionate about his craft and the provenance of the fresh [...]
The Alma, Crystal Palace
Here’s the second 360 that I created from my visit. This took a bit of time to shoot. The road outside is quite busy and I had to time the shot well to manage to avoid there being any blurry cars! Click the square icon for a full screen experience
The Alma – Crystal Palace
We have a newly renovated watering hole in Crystal Palace – The Alma. Viveca and I were keen to try the pub out soon after it opened and were very happy with the turn around from the previous version. The new owner Stephen Boyd has done a great job in renovating and decorating the property [...]
Royal Exchange and Bank in The City Of London
This is the image that I went out on Sunday to capture. There’s not much to say about it apart from I’m very happy. It’s a testament to planning really, I knew what I wanted, where to shoot and that there would be little in the way of either pedestrian or vehicular traffic at night [...]
Royal Exchange
Another from my Sunday evening out. This is a three shot panorama, each made up of 9 brackets and processed through Photomatix. The building is often confused with The Bank of England which it to the left of this structure. This is the third Royal Exchange built on this spot. From Wikipedia : The third [...]
London Wall At Night
I’ve been pining to get out and shoot some images over the last week or two. Trawling through past shots and discovering images that I’ve not jet processed is fun, but no substitute for getting out there and pressing the shutter release button. I think there is some excitement in getting home and sticking that [...]
Hellingly Asylum – Bricks and Mortar
The weather had been inclement throughout the explore and as we exited the main complex of the asylum it started to rain adding to our mood. The destruction of the hall had almost completed and we both knew that within the next week destruction would be complete. Both of us got on with our work [...]
Hellingly – Gone But Not Forgotten
Whilst at Viveca’s the other day she was looking at her old pictures from Hellingly Asylum, this spurred me to have a look at mine. as this was the first place I went on urbex missions my early images are almost all rubbish, however its a good testament to my perseverance in the craft of [...]
Composite Number One
Since I’ve been taking photos I’ve been an admirer of the work of Joel Grimes and his composites. This was partially the driver for me getting some more strobes and lighting kit. I thought ‘I can do that’! Well after a few tutorials and a bit of messing about I have managed to produce my [...]
Dartmoor – Underworld
Hidden under the Dartmoor turf is this little urbex gem. Its a disused pumping house. The second visit for me, first time it wasn’t this damp. I was expecting there to be a little water, however I wasn’t expecting it to be 18 inches plus deep. I shou8ld have taken my waders! There is very [...]
Phlegm – Inside the Mind
Here’s another one from Phlegm, this is a fairly large piece and you can see that the artist doesn’t do things by halves, it’s HUGE! However despite the overall size of the piece the detail is amazing. We were lucky enough to see this on a lovely clear day and although the blue sky is [...]
Filter House Gallery – Panorama
Just outside Sheffield is a disused filterhouse, it’s a haven for creatives and their excellent art. I was lucky enough to meet one of the artists here as he was working on a new piece. It’s over six months since I’ve been here and was amazed to see that the walls have changed – such [...]
Rocket01 vs. Phlegm
I recently took a trip up to Sheffield with my friend RomanyWG. We wanted to check out a hotel that we knew was in the process of demo and had some cool street art. Luckily we had one of the artists with us which made things a little easier. I really think that we would [...]
