New Photography portfolio coming soon!

I'm currently in the middle of making a new portfolio online which will act as a contact and hiring point for myself. It's going to display all my work and some upcoming projects and projects underway.

It's my photography and videography services all in one and is going to be so simple to use! should be up and ready in the next few days! Here's a screenshot of my progress so far!

back into Film!

 Getting back into 35mm with an Olympus OM-10 I picked up with a 50mm f/1.8 and a manual adapter with a roll of Ilford HP4 for less than £25 (the benfit of discount). I'm halfway through my first roll of film and getting cautious with how I shoot again with it being film and.....the fact I dont fully trust this manual adapter all to much (seeing as we were doing it sold as seen), and the meter seems to jump a little more ofthen than i'd like so its shaking my confidence a bit.

Shooting black and white for my first roll and managed to get some snow shots, some shots of my dog and one or two of some stuff I've been doing with my drum kit and practise pad, but just really dreading whats going to come out after so many years away from digital.

Pictures up soon and I await critisim and fun poking at my first attempts!!

D800

My heart set on a Nikon D800

Spent the past week umming and aahing over my next camera and my move up too fulll frame!

Everyday at the shop i work at, i toss and turn the pro's and con's of the nikon D800 for both filimg and photography and have come to the conslusion..........what are the cons? Broadcast quality, full frame, high mega pixel, brilliant low light performance, not a lot of noise in the shop when taking pictures on a high ISO and baring in mind there's 12 flourescent strip lights which are god awful and a few smaller lights! But still around 3200 ISO it really does show off some colours, the skin is really pink and sharp, the yellows on my colleages shirt are pleasent and not over saturated! 

There isnt even a con on the price seeing as its come down even more! 

Leave a message if you disagree! or want to reinforce my point!

Celtic football club! 22nd september 2012

During my time up in Glasgow,

I caught a Celtic match ith a friend and dived in with the camera and tried to get what I could and mess around with apertures and expsoures in depth seeing as it was my first time using my camera in a "sports" scenario! 90% were ok, but only a few were rather good, havent edited or adjusted them, thats the next step!here are a few RAW!

PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY

 

I want to do a piece on panoramic photography, see how people bring it all together and wht they can do to the picture to really give that in depth effect you see in some pieces of work!

 Lets see some stuff posted on here and a brief description of how it was put together! I've got photo's coming together soon!

HDR photography

Stumbeling across the Automate>HDR menu on photoshop i thought i'd investigate, and of course went straight to Google......and discovered that this stuff is pretty cool!

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and with HDR technology, you can create images and landscapes that come close or become something of fantasy. Seeing as a camera can't mimic a human eye in terms of detail just because of the way our brain works, you can enhance detail using this tool and it can create something close or overdramatic, creating some pretty striking images. 

After i read up a little bit about HDR i took a walk down a canal by my house where i knew theyre were some old buildings that would be a good starting point for this HDR tool.

Some of the effects to the building really highlight colors and can enhance shadows. 

 

 

 

 

It really well with depth of field too. some of the colors still appear striking from a distance.  

the over dramatic affect works well on old or rusting buildings.

but you can do this to modern buildings and jsut make them seem a lot more powerful in pictures, I'm going to do some more work on more modern buildings to see what i can create.

To create these sort of images, it jsut takes at least 3 different exposures of an image;

 At least a few stops apart from one another in manual mode (just because its good to play with depth of field whislt your composing your picture) and keep the camera on a tripod or a level surface to keep the different exposures the same. And if you're doing low light shots use a remote release just so you dont run the risk of bashing the camera around when your trying to hit the shutter release.
