I have a ‘thing’ for photographing grass(es) I did a mini-project on it once (see it here on flickr). I’m not really sure what the attraction is. I like it’s abstract and random nature and enjoy the ability to portray it differently using varied lighting and angles.

If nothing else this post is a reminder to myself to look out for reflections when photographing clients on location. I love the way that you can almost make out some of the objects in the cupboard but the main focus is on the sink. The cupboard frames the image well and gives it more [...]

I thought about posting these as 3 separate blog posts with the same theme but I decided that they belong together as a group. 3 images from around the house of no subject in particular but containing interesting textures and light.

This is the last post with the theme of square crops, off camera flash and vivid colours (for the moment!) A bunch of bananas in the kitchen, as you can see I placed the flashgun almost directly behind them. I used the flash in wide angle mode (14mm) on manual at 1/32 power and dialed in [...]

This is probably my favourite PhotoBlog post so far. It was very simple to create these images, just freeze the room with a touch of off-camera flash and give the camera a little twitch as you take the exposure. The flash freezes everything that isn’t emitting light and the light moves with the camera. I [...]

The next few shots have the same theme of square crops, off camera flash and vivid colours. This is the first in a series of 3 posts with this theme. I liked the lighting in the previous post so much that I’ve used it in most of the shots in this series using off camera [...]

The clean and bright lighting in this shot was created using a single off camera flash, which you can see in the background to the right hand side of this shot. The flash firing within the frame of the image created a slight lens flare on this photograph, I really love lens flare when used [...]

“Can ya guess what it is yet?” I’ve gone for kind of an abstract feel with these shots, all were lit using off camera flash triggered with ebay slaves. The middle one is my favourite as I really like the high key look of it. (It’s a washing machine!)

I got busy taking photos around the house last night so there should be plenty of content for the next week or so once I’ve got them all through post processing. This is an Ibanez RG321 MH electric guitar, it doesn’t get anywhere near as much use as it should! Pretty simple setup for this shot, [...]

I’m feeling bad again as I haven’t updated in a few days! Here are a couple of shots from the Randomness collection. More of my good old 50mm f1.4 here, definitely my favourite lens. I’ve shot an entire wedding with one of these before and ended up with nothing but fantastic images. It’s a little [...]
