Focus on Photography - The aftermath

Well its been a long old day but very, very enjoyable. Something like this exhibition really gives you an eye opener into the world of photography from every angle humanly possible (and then a little more).

There were exhibitors from wedding photography photo books, to top of the like studio lighting from the big like Nikon and Canon to lens manufactures such as Tamron ans Sigma.

A Special mention has to be made to two amazing companies and their equally cool people.

Vanessa Champion @ Creativity Backgrounds 
Marc Fredric Gottula @ BlackRapid

These guys (and gals) have allowed me through their companies to review some of their product lines, I am truly grateful to them and hope that i can help them with future reviews.

Some quick photos from the Expo (sorry there are so few)

Tomorrow i will post up some of the models that were present and the studio setups that companies were using to get the stunning images taken.

Have a great week all.

Its oh so quiet

Hi All, sorry that its been quiet around here recently.

We (me and Gemma) have taken the plunge and are in the process of buying our first home together. The blog is suffering a little due to all the running around that we are having to do.

I promise I will update as much as I can, and I do thank you all for sticking around.

I will leave you with some from the archives. I mean whats the point of a blog entry without some photos.

Sorry Gang

HDR Sunrise

Taken from my window this morning. The light was so extreme and exposing for the sky and foreground would have been difficult. So HDR was the only option.

This was taken on the Redsnapper RS 283 Tripod

I hope you like

Old Viaduct in South Wales

For this weeks Black and White Wednesday i would like to resurrect one of favourite black and white images of the last year. Its of the old rail viaduct that used to transport coal from the mines of South Wales to the engine houses that produced Iron and Steel.
