Popped out to be a model for Jenn this afternoon, this is one of the shots taken down a nice little tree lined alley in Broadstairs in the middle of the afternoon. Was horrible getting dressed up in public in daylight but i gotta admit the results made it worth while, we have more masks to try so there will be more photos to follow.
Taken using Canon 6d, Canon 50mm f1.4 and Yongnuo 468 in a soft box.

Summer is done...

We took a week off last week with lots of planned things to get out and photograph, but that is as far as we got. Jenn was 2nd photographer at a big wedding at Leeds castle on the Saturday which really took it out of her and as for the weather well we all know that blank grey skies are just not what we are after when going to do some outdoor work.
The plans did include some dressing up in various locations, i will not say in what yet, i will leave that for when we get out there and take the shots. Typically enough i am sitting in my office in my lunch hour looking out the window at the blue sky with gorgeous fluffy big clouds floating about in it, i don't even want to look at the weekend weather forecast.
So what has the future got planned? there are a couple of things but the main one right now seems to be having a play around with portrait work, Jenn is after a nice shiney Canon 600 flash where as i think i would like to concentrate on natural light work but we will see how that all pans out.

Right back to work and staring at the clouds.....

Yes it is a wonky phone camera shot.

Just getting a little creative with this one, mainly due to the fact i didn't like the crowd in the background. 
Done in PS using the burn tool to take out highlights then increased contrast and clarity in LR to get to here.

We went to Leeds castle today to take a look about, i had never been there before and it is quite a spectacular place in some gorgeous grounds, we decided to pay a visit to the Falconry display, well as you can see this little chap thought it would be a good idea to come take a closer look at Jenns lens, this picture was his second visit, had to creep backward to get the focus as i was using my 100-400 but it was very comfy waiting for his portrait.
