Its been a while since I posted on here but I've got my life back. Even found time for a sneaky personal photoshoot recently. Thought this example from that shoot could be suitable for this months subject.

Photo-geek stuff:
Shot on a 5D and first time using a new lens. I just picked up a little ...

I'm in.

Dvorak, good point. Just to confirm that each and every wedding I shoot the couple gives me a signed contract that specifically states I can post images from their wedding for my own usage. Wanted to mention that just so know one thinks I'm not respecting the privacy of my clients ...

Nice theme.

Here's one (though from a while back so not my official entry) of Paris. A polaroid taken from the Seine. Taken on my old SX-70 (basically a point and shoot camera) using impossible project film.

Wow, the images on that link are bloody amazing! Cheers for the heads up Rich.

Even bigger horse*, in a wide open space. Somewhere in Iceland.



*Also not entirely accurate

I had a nice little bike ride up in North Yorkshire yesterday. Stopped for a quick bite to eat and grabbed this snap of the sweet little trail winding away into the distance.

I like that he's doing his own thing, building on what he's got and knows through exploration and experimentation with images of the city I live in. I'm sorry it didn't meet the expected level of pretentiousness to share here.
Expected level of pretentiousness? Would you mind explaining what you ...

Got to agree with Rik, I'm also not really feeling it for that first link. Not my style of thing at all but that's obviously just a personal feeling, photography being extremely subjective.

Like that Lee Jeffries work much better. Nice consistent series and style on some really powerful portraits ...

I've got one of these North Face jobbies at the moment. Had it about 4 years now and use it regularly on the bike so it's getting pretty tatty looking.

I may replace it this year and treat myself to one of these:

This is looking ridiculously good.

It's says in the rules "Doesn't matter when it was taken" .. though I did attempt some pics this month.. I chose this as a better 'street photograph' how the heck is it 'against the spirit of the comp'?
Please lets not get into another debate about the photography comp rules. It's already been ...

Ok shortlist time:

Firstly (o)(o) pic of Mr Everett. I'll overlook the fact that its a little against the spirit of the comp as I've a sneaky suspicion that it wasn't taken recently at all :) The interesting thing is there's a story here. Christ knows what it is but perhaps (o)(o) can enlighten us ...

(o)(o) wrote:OK - update - this is now my entry for this month.

Haha, brilliant photo in a WTF? kinda way. What's the brilliant moustached dude doing with the glass of champagne? Does Everett know what planet he's on? How did this photo come about?

I remember that woman one Rik, great shot!

There does seem to be a bit of a lack of activity this month. Though the topic should be a fairly easy one for people to get into. Perhaps it's work in progress and there will be a flurry of activity over the next few days.....

I'm currently on the fence, torn between picking up a PS4 next month when I'm back in the city or holding out until Autumn then deciding between PS4 or a Steam Box. Nothing screaming 'must have!' as yet on the PS4. I'd like Resogun and some shiny hi-res Battlefield but thats about it for now.
