Muckmedden
So on the weekend I got to experience something completely new to me, my first mountainbiking event. No I wasn’t taking part but instead I volunteered to go along and help out a friend who had agreed to photograph the event, 3 shooters is gotta be better than 2 right? Boy was I glad that … Read more
Bokeh
So another blog about another assignment over on PixelatedPhotographer.com? It seems these days that this is the only thing I get the camera out for, need to do something about that and find more time over the coming summer months. Anyway this assignment, as given away by the title of this blog, was Bokeh. What … Read more
Sling Strap
Another Christmas gift that I got after requesting it was a sling strap to replace the standard Canon strap. I wanted this as I felt that the standard strap was always digging into my neck, putting the weight in the wrong place and generally just feeling uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. Having … Read more
Battery Grip
For Christmas I got a battery grip for my 450D. Ok so it wasn’t an official Canon one but a cheaper Chinese knock-off instead, which is fine by me as that’s what I asked for. So the questions are – is this cheap replica worth the money and is it up to the job that … Read more
Engineering
The last assignment over on PixelatedPhotographer.com was ‘Engineering’. Being short of inspiration I decided not to try and come up with an interpretation/play on the work Engineering but instead simply go on a hunt to find some good old fashioned structure that could be considered Engineering. With this I had a day off a couple … Read more
St Andrews
Managed to find a spare night so ended up tagging alone on an extended PK Perspective family photographers outing. The plan was as basic as everyone head for the harbour at St Andrews Fife then we’ll see what we can find to shoot. So we began around the harbour but soon after we ended up … Read more
Motion
The last assignment subject over at PixelatedPhotographer.com was ‘Motion’ and like with other assignments I was full of ideas from day 1. Unfortunately like other assignments these ideas all fell away as I realised I either didn’t have the equipment to pull it off or the time to try it (mainly always the second on … Read more
LowePro CompuDay Photo 250
Going on the principle that you should always have your camera at hand (see Best Camera to Own ) I made the decision before Christmas to get an everyday bag for work that can also carry my camera safely. So when an offer came up for the LowePro CompuDay Photo 250 at around half price I ordered … Read more
Cheating or Art?
Going back to my previous blog (Friday Night Out) when I took a photo of the harbour at Tayport, I then used this image as a submission on PixelatedPhotographer.com for the ‘Moon’ assignment. Moon you say? There’s no moon in that shot? You are correct, yet my submission for the assignment did indeed have the … Read more
Friday Night Out
I got a text asking if I fancied going out for a shot, didn’t have anything on so ended up going out camera bag in hand to meet up with Ian and Sarah (the fine folks from PK Perspective). There was no real plan, just go out and see what we could find. As there … Read more
