Speak to the Streets

Action Photography

Bboi dancing is one of my passions and so I travel the country taking photographs of dance competitions.

The last competition I photographed was Speak to the Streets and the photos can be seen below.

Countryside Photography

The Country Park

Winter isn’t the best of time to take photographs in the countryside. It is muddy, lacking in colour and above all, cold!

But, if you’re lucky, you just might capture some images that are fairly beautiful.

I’ve picked out some of the best photos that I took today, although not all of them are brilliant.

Sunset is one of the most beautiful times of day to take photographs, the golden lights are really spectacular. It sets a romantic hue over all photographs.

Sneaky Photo

Photo Sniper

My wife captured this image of me working hard editing some bboi photos I had taken at a recent event (soon to appear on the blog!).

I thought I’d share it with you.

This is the face of concentration!

Painting with Light

My First Experiments

I’ve not done much on light photography before, but I’d had a few drinks and it all looked like fun and games!

I had some willing volunteers so I propped up my tripod, set the camera to yet another long exposer and experimented with L.E.D’s!

I just want to stress, this is my first time and not my best work! lol

Had some interesting results with the experiments that I did. A huge thank you to my vaguely willing volunteers, the Ashforths!

Keep checking back to see what results these experiments will lead to!

Light in the Darkness

A Long Exposure

I wanted to share this photo with you by itself. It was taken while we were driving to our stay-cation in the Lake District.

We were utterly lost and had pulled over to consult our phone navigation and adjust our satnav.

I spotted the cottage behind the pub we’d pulled into and promptly set up my tripod to capture the moment.

The actual area was pitch black, I set the camera to a long exposure, absorbing as much light as possible. Once I’d taken the photo (and we got back from our holiday) I then edited the raw file in Photoshop and Elements to achieve the desired effect.

This is one of my favourite photos mainly because all the conditions came together at random to have a beautiful photograph.

Taken using a 1000D using the kit lens, no filters, supported on a tripod.
