Getting Flashy
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve finally taken delivery of a flashgun, many months after I originally decided I wanted one. The idea being, I’m really enjoying portrait photography and want to be a...

Preparing Dinner
When I’m in the right frame of mind, a photograph can come from anywhere. It’s one of the reasons I’m almost always carrying my full camera kit around with me when I’m out: I’d rather carry a few kilos...

Hot Chocolate
The weather’s getting colder, the nights are drawing in, and the desire and obligation to go outside is fading like memories of summer. In fact, just a day or so ago a cold wind hit the UK, bringing...

More New Things
I’ve been a bit quiet on here as of late. I was pretty distracted as I waited for various new and exciting things to arrive that I’d been waiting for for over a month, and it was all making me a bit...

Dave the Angry Bee
There I was, sitting at my desk writing a post, when a bee flew through the open window, swirled around me a bit, and then proceeded to show himself up a bit by failing to fly back out of the window....

Squirrel in the Garden
It sometimes seems that I have an obsession with photographing squirrels. If you’re a frequenter of The Daily Photo then you’ll know I often post shots of squirrels (in fact, I think about 3% of the...

Quick Sunset
One reoccurring motif that’s happened quite a bit over the last couple of months is things taking place outside my window whilst I’m working on this blog. Back in May I had a visit from Dave the Angry...

Bike in the Bushes
Whilst running around herding kittens the other day, I came across a bike locked to the fence alongside my flat. I’d forgotten it was there, to be honest. Some time ago I had attempted to shoot a HDR...

Food, Glorious Food
It is, thanks to social networks like Instagram, a bit cliched to photograph food. People who, when first brought a hot meal – whether at a posh restaurant or a Burger King – whip out their phone and...

Freddie
Just before Christmas my wife and I welcomed a new member to our family. No, not a baby. Not another new lens either – I’m not that far gone I’d consider a lens a new member of our family, not yet...

Still Life
