When: Today, 5.10am
With what: Sony RX100

I revisited this scene with a hopeful expectancy and slightly better clothing, including Wellington Boots. Stupidly I was still wearing jeans. Needless to say, they and I were soaked again getting to the slightly newer viewpoint I chose for this shot. It's also amazing how heavy jeans get when they are wet, certainly how quickly and how full the boots get after ten minutes of wading through the field. It's no wonder I'm now on antibiotics for a nasty foot complaint. Oops.

Also, I'm not sure when to predict, or even if it's possible to predict, good conditions for taking photographs. I've been hoping for mist, sun rays, maybe a passing deer and some flying birds to enter this scene. Maybe they did but not on my watch.

I shot this on film and digital, the previous shots look amazing on film, I just still don't have an ideal way to scan it in. Hopefully the dreaded eBay will come up trumps.

I hope you like it.

Sony RX100. ISO 80, f11, 1/60th. Chucked into CS6, stitched together and a signature shoved on it. It's amazing how different Photoshop can get with the same scene when stitched together. This one seems more compressed than three other versions of scene I've done in the past.

A little trip to Ullswater for a birthday treat for my lovely wife. Though we weren’t expecting the weather to be anything other than wet, we were so glad the weather people got it totally wrong. I woke up at my usual time of 4am for no reason and decided to see what the day was doing. While she was asleep I popped out with her Sony RX100 and took a shot or two. This was one of them.

A crazy misty November morning made the photographic decision for me to try out my new (to me) Hasselblad 500cm. Driving toward one of my favourite spots I happened to notice this scene in the most inaccessible spot on route. I had to stop about a mile up the road to walk back. The scene did not disappoint.

Using my iPhone as a light meter and then checking the corresponding meter reading with the meter winder on the Hassey I took shot after shot. I initially tried a Polaroid back I had also bought of eBay but it didn’t work for two reasons, one the film was 3000asa and I was metering for 100asa the other which I found out later was the film was too old an the Polaroid back itself was broken.

I left the scene with no idea what shots I had got other than the iPhone viewfinder pictures I facebooked (I am no longer on facebook) to friends. After receiving the film back form the lab I was in a quandary (which I posted in a journal – “To Scan or not to Scan?”) It has been 4 months and I’ve deliberated whether to go all film or digitise the film, I’d go on eBay and search for scanners and enlargers like crazy, the main problem was space. Space was my main worry with an enlarger, I don’t have any in the house, especially with a 4 year old running around. The other route was a scanner and that was stupidly expensive for a good quality one and if I was spending that money why not buy a digital back for the Hasselblad.

Then came the eureka moment, what would the internet people do?

My salvation came with youtube and a chap who managed to digitise his 120 films with his digital camera on a 5000k lightbox. OMG I had to try this.
I stuck frost paper on the underside of a glass coffee table and the film to the other side. I then got our two standing lamps underneath the table with the already fitted daylight 16w led bulbs and then borrowed my wifes SonyRX100 and took a shot of it from the tripod.
Barring the fact the RX100’s macro is not that all magnified and it’s a silly small sensor. Wow, it worked.

So this is a mixture of old and new techniques, all hashed together.

I hope you like it.

While in Bedford I took a wrong turn on my way home and went past a local park called Mowsbury. What caught my eye was not the goal posts but a few trees (typical me) with lovely copper leaves still on them and a snowy backdrop. By the time I had got out of the car the snow started falling really heavily. At one point I could barely see where I was going as I was snapping away at these bronze leafed trees. As I walked further toward the trees I saw the goal posts.

By the time I started to pack up a lovely gent passed by and struck up a conversation. He had five white poodles with little jackets on. I got a shot of them too. After lots of questions later it turned out that he knew someone who was a serious amateur who had just passed away and wanted to sell their medium format equipment. I left him my number and am now waiting to hear back as to find out what this equipment is. The things that happen when your out shooting.

This is a reshoot of some trees I posted back in 2009.
I pass them every so often on the vague hope that the background, light or something changes as I love the simplicity of the scene they are in.
I had noticed after settling the camera in the snow that the 24mm lens (which had just come back from Canon UK’s repair centre) was missing the Tilt knob again. Such a weak point on that lens. The other thing I noticed was that my rear was cold and wet from squatting in the snow trying to take a handheld shot of this scene. I also now have rabbit and sheep poo embedded in my car seat. Errggh.

I looked out of the window that morning and I was fit to burst. The first snow of Winter had arrived in the UK. Only a sprinkling, but enough for me to get just a bit too excited. I was supposed to be doing paperwork after I dropped off my daughter to school but the temptation was too great to go out and take some photos, besides who likes doing paperwork?
My excitement was so great while hurriedly packing my camera bag that morning I forgot to put in the film backs for the Hasselblad. Oops.
By the time I dropped off my daughter to school it was 8.55 and the new and very photographic forest I'd found was another 15 minutes up the road.

With shots a plenty happening all around me I stopped and looked in my camera bag with confusion. Oh. Where is... Oh. Awwwww, nuts, no film. The Homer Simpsons "Doh" echo'd around the empty forest and shook the snow off the trees.
Luckily I'd brought the Canon 5Dmkii in reserve, though no EF lenses, just the adapter to fit the Hasselblads lenses.
So with my new school, old school camera combination I started taking pictures. This is one of the results.

I hope you like it.

Canon 5D MkII, 11376×7782, Hasselblad C 80mm f2.8, f/8, 1/80 sec, ISO 400.

I did however hopefully capture a shot with my Rolleiflex 3.5 with it's Ilford 400 film in it but I havn't had that roll fully exposed yet.
This is stitched from 5 shots. Notice the lower contrast on the right of the shot, due to the lack of multicoated process on the lens it give this gorgeous soft tone. I love how it does this.

I have been wanting to do this shot for quite some time. Though I think I need to get some more balls?
I spent ages that morning at a driving range debating whether or not to steal the golf balls I'd just hired and in the end chickened out and bought some of theirs at the shop. 50 secondhand balls seem to fetch a pretty penny according to this driving range. I think they saw me coming. I wasn't even dressed up in my garb.

so I must have mug written all over it.

I headed off to the Lynx? Links? (spelling) with my camera bag, vintage suitcase full of clothes, golf club and tripod.

It was now quite late in the evening (just so I didn't get caught or shouted at) and I threw my newly purchased gold balls over the green, tried a few poses then packed up and fled when I saw some final die hard golfers coming. How on earth can they see what their doing?

I think they thought they'd seen a ghost when I ran passed them shouting good evening gentlemen. I hadn't changed out of my kit so I must have looked a sight.

I hope you like it.

Plus it looks so pretty.
I sold my 24-70mm f2.8L Canon lens and still had change after I bought this lovely piece of engineering. Just a few more lenses to go and I can afford the CFV-50 I want.

I’m not sure I should mention why there’s a lot of mist in this shot or not, suffice to say the forest is still standing and no trees were harmed in the making of this shot!
We popped out for a walk/photo opportunity in Ashridge, Bedfordshire, UK to hopefully catch some Autumn colours. The tree’s were turning but not really enough for a colourful scene. The place was packed with people and it was difficult to get a shot without someone remarking, “wow that’s a big camera” or “do you do photography for a living?” or “what are you doing, can you see smoke?”

A few shots in and a whole bunch of cyclists went passed, this guy was going quite slowly so it was picked up on camera.

All the shots taken on the day were for me to practice with lighting and different positions and look of the model. I stupidly forgot to write it down the position of the lights and power settings on the day so now I'm going from memory and I need to practice some more.
I still don't quite feel I know what I'm doing with studio lights but when your studio is your living room it's hard to leave them set up all day.

I think Georgie did an amazing job and can't thank her enough for having the patience with me. At least we had a laugh in between in shots which only goes to show that she stayed in character when it mattered. A true professional

Where: Ashridge Estate (Bluebell Woods).

The first day of my wife heading off to University on a full time course lent a moment or two with my daughter Phoenix (now a stay at home dad). I gave her three choices, dressing up, tennis or making spiders from pompoms and wire string.

With no delay she said "dressing up".
"Great how about we also go outside and take some photos?"
"That's a great idea, we can show mummy when she gets back!"

Luckily I had a location in mind and also used an outfit I bought yesterday from a vintage fair so off we went.

Although I had this shot in mind and sketched it out 5 months ago in my studio journal getting the shot was a little tricky. Firstly Phoenix wanted to eat the sweet I gave her as a prop, she also wouldn't stay still longer than 2 seconds as she was so keen to see the results of every shutter click. Then the wind picked up and the balloon was going everywhere. Frustration a plenty out of 15 shots this was the closest to what I had in mind.

On the journey back I took one look at my daughter licking the sweet with a multicoloured face and sighed oh I am so in trouble when mummy gets home.

The smoke machine blew up, the canoe I'd saw the day before had been stolen/moved plus it was really really cold -7 degrees. This is a chilly Studham, Bedfordshire UK at around 6am in the morning. Brrrrr.

I hope you like it.

Canon 5D mkII, 35mm TSE-II at 35mm, f/11, 1/100 sec, ISO 100. No filters used. Remote controlled (with no one else there) by WTF E-4II wireless transmitter and an iPhone 4 via safari and live view. I've now found out It has a distance of around 120 metres. I also have special gloves for Christmas that let me control my iPhone without taking them off. Genius.

The reference shots are:-
1/ The background which is a B&B in Cambridge I took back in 2010.
2/ The model, who also happens to be my partner and fiance who tolerated me throwing some material on her and shoving a wig on her head. That’s not a dress she is wearing but three pieces of material clamped together on the side you can’t see.
The rest was collectively 4 hours in photoshop – over 4 months using various brushes.

I hope you like it.

Canon 5dMkii, 24-70mm at 50mm, f/8, 160 sec exposure, ISO 100 for the background.

I have the Bowler Hat, Suit, Umbrella I bought from ebay for £15 in total. The shears are my own from home. My father who is a retired hairdresser cut my hair in a 1940’s style – by request – and the shot was completed with guess work and various poses using a Giga T Pro shutter trigger in my pocket.

2 Days into my new job in London I decided to get in super early to see if I could catch some early mist by Tower Bridge.
I eventually found a favourable spot and got dressed into my outfit. As it was 4am there were only a few runners giving me puzzled looks. After a couple of hours trying various poses, dodging rain showers and the odd comment or two an American chap scared the life out of me when he tapped me on the leg and asked "hey buddy, are you OK?".
Difficult one that, as I was standing on a wall with a 40ft drop the other side dressed in a business suit with a Bowler Hat and Umbrella.
All I could say was "urm, I think so".

2/ The model, who also happens to be my partner and fiance who tolerated me throwing some material on her and shoving a wig on her head.
3/ The bottle which was purchased off of ebay for 50p and I created the label to help create the story to the scene.
The rest was 4 hours in photoshop, using various brushes.

I originally created this scene about two weeks ago using two deviant art stock shots, but due to some miscommunication from the original model I decided to recreate the shot for myself without having to worry about copyright and model releases.

Thank you for the inspiration though.
