You won’t like me when I’m Angry
March 8th, 2010
Looking through my early digital archive I came across a set of images taken for a training presentation about violence in the workplace. The shot is nine years old but using modern software I can now create effects that weren’t easily available when the original was made.
I think I should add the aggressor in the shot was a nice guy and a very good actor!

I just wanna be a winner
March 4th, 2010
I often cover PR stories for clients, a little forward planning often helps to produce a better image. This young girl had won a major local competition to design the front cover of a publication. The forward planning in this case was bringing along many of the competition entries to form the background of the picture.

Here’s another shot from 2000, taken in the small electrical museum at Burton Constable Hall.
Processed from the original camera JPEG file in modern software, the qualities not bad at all.

Here’s a shot from 2000 when the ’soon to be’ most photographed building in Hull, The Deep, was in the early stages of construction.
Shot on my first digital SLR the Nikon D1 and exotic Sigma 14mm lens, the files sizes and quality of these early digital files are laughable by todays standards, only 2.85 megapixel! but it still took a good picture.

I came across a bag of coins in my office draw given to me by my father recently, the ideal subject to brush up on my macro skills.
I’m sure more able photographers can hand hold some close up work, but I shot on a sturdy tripod, mirror lock up, and a electric shutter release!

Dinner with the Fishes
February 26th, 2010
I covered an awards ceremony at The Deep in Hull last night, dinner was served in one of the many aquarium viewing areas which provides a really unique way to dine, and before you ask the main course was steak not fish.
