I was recently invited to a Leica demo day at the fabulously accommodating Slaughter House studios in Manchester. Long awaited by fans of the red dot the S2 features a massive 30X45 mm sensor with 37.5 mega pixels. That is 56% larger than a full frame sensor found in high end slrs.
We are currently looking for recent brides who would like to be website models for us on a "trash the dress" style high fashion wedding photography shoot.
New years day 2004 I was was walking to clear my hangover on the South Downs above Ditchling in Sussex. It was thick fog but as usual I had a camera with me. The fog dropped and we were left with this great view. I took this shot which went on to feature on the 2005 BBC Countryfile calendar. One of twelve winners from 10,000 entries apparently.
This was the view from the bathroom window of a holiday cottage we rented on Skye, looking over towards the Uists. Every evening it seemed that nature served up another spectacular sunset. Taken on velvia again, and a Pentax MZ-S.
Taken at Keswick in the Lake District. This was a long exposure but no filtration, the fabulous saturated colours are what it was like. It still seems that only velvia can effectively reproduce them.
Taken in the cup cakery in Chorlton, after a recent portrait shoot with Dave and his girls. Often the unstaged shots when the subject is unaware they are being watched are the best.
Fresh in from Italy, here are my new wedding photography sample albums from Album Epoca. These came in today and what can I say. I thought they would be good but they are even better than I expected!
I took these on a recent trip to Machynlleth in Mid-Wales. I like the fact that the mini has just become part of the garden. At what point do you move from I should get that moved to, oh well if I leave it, it will just become part of the garden!
Continuing with what seems to be a current theme of motion blurs, I took these shots of competitors in the 2010 Pioneer Motorcycle Run from London to Brighton
