Last day at work tomorrow! Off to Ireland with Emma. 1st stop Belfast and then heading out to Portstewart on the coast to a B+B. Hopefully seeing some of Belfast and also the Giants Causeway! Lots of photo opportunities I’m sure… Sorry Emma.
Start the new job on the 12th.
Funny how if you go back to look at images you’ve taken you suddenly find a better shot than you thought you’d taken. I took this shot back in December down on the Southbank and couldn’t find the right crop at the time so left it out. Was playing around last night and I think the square format really works on this one. Trying to be more selective with what I post to flickr but this one is worth posting.
Probably a load of complete rubbish but he’s gone and done it anyway.

Grabbed this photo earlier today whilst down on site. Ominous sky and like the way the woman is standing there patiently waiting for the traffic. Made up of around 8 images as I only had the 50mm lens with me.
Graham and Tim following on the top section of Barry Knows Best, Surrey Hills.
Finally had my new lens delivered from Hong Kong. It’s a 50mm prime lens which is apparently ideal for portraits and that’s what I’ve been doing with it. It’s much sharper than the Sigma and also a couple of stops faster. Lots more images coming soon with this I think hopefully some biking ones too.
I found a great image earlier on the fffound.com website and followed the link to this T-Shirt with the same graphic.
I had a bit of a look round the site and it seems like you can sell artwork of your own there. I’ve uploaded a few pictures in the hope that someone might buy them for cards. I might even buy them myself as they’d make great birthday cards for friends. Anyway check out the profile as linked below.
EDIT: Just got the first cards delivered from them today and they look great!
A few weekends ago I took my first ‘paid for’ photography job. Vaughan and Shannon suggested that I come along to an interview Vaughan was doing for Living South – a local magazine which is distributed in SE1. The job was to get a few images to go with the article Vaughan was doing on Witcomb Cycles in Deptford. We rode there and the whole place was fascinating. They have been making bikes there since 1952 and continue to make custom hand made lugged road frames to the day. Unfortunately it got me lusting after a custom fixed frame but at £1200 it’ll have to wait for a few years yet.
It was difficult shooting on the low light but I got 10 or so decent shots and the magazine seem quite pleased. They’re not amazing by pro standards but hopefully they’re better than what they normally would have got.
One of my favourite images is below and the rest are on flickr flickr here. Let me know what you think!
Had Friday off to do some work on Part 3 assignments. The weather was too nice to stay indoors though so went to take some pics.
Headed out for lunch to meet my Mum and then went for a ride along the Southbank. Got a few good pics and added them to Flickr here.
