Pipes

These caught my eye over the bank holiday weekend and came out better than I had imagined, mainly due to the very shallow band of focus and the colours on the pipes...

The shallow depth of field effect is excellent and is one that im going to use more often, particularly when shooting portraits..

It was shot in Bristol Cathedral btw...

One of the great thigs about living in a city is that you are almost guaranteed some random action on pretty much a daily basis.

I enjoyed said random action on the way to town on Saturday when I noticed a swimming cap and goggles carefully placed on a wall outside a church on whiteladies road.

I suspect that they were part of some late night drunken antics, but would like to imagine that someone is strolling about in some speedos somewhere in Clifton...

It's amazing how dark it actually is at the games and you can understand why the pro's need such fast lenses to freeze the action.

This photo captures a moment. It was the first time that John Terry has led his team out as captain. He had a good game, scoring early doors and looked impressive throughout.

Clevedon shoreline

Clevedon is just down the road from me and is a great place to take a variety of pictures.

This was definitely a chromasia inspired shot. It's shot in a style that i seemed to pick up a while ago where you combine objects in the foreground with more recognisable detail in the background (or vica versa). I like the idea of ignoring the obvious shot and sticking something else in there.

This shot was my entry to a recent photo comp in the Bristol Evening Post. The deal was that you had to submit a shot that related to a category in the Yellow pages and if they liked it you won a shedload of cash., well enough for some new lenses anyway...

I have recently discovered this fantastic tilt/ shift tutorial which makes the image look like a model of the real scene. This panoramic was shot from Cabot tower in Bristol lateish one Sunday night as amazing light hit the city which presented a perfect shot for the effect.

I decided to enter it under the "Models - architectural and engineering" category and sat back waiting for the cheque to fall on the mat....

Imagine my surprise when the winners were announced. The winning shot was of a statue with tenners stuck on it......ho hum... ; )

This chap conducted the ceremony at my mates wedding over the weekend. He was by far the coolest vicar I think I have ever met and a very nice chap to boot.

His Vespa was amazing, especially the badge which had been replaced with one that read "Vicar", a lovely touch.

I now want a scooter.

Another take on my last post, the woman was performing in front of the big mirror ball in Bristol Millenium square, the star of many a bristolian photo opportunity.

I think its one of those shots that if you know Bristol you'll think yeah whatever, but if its all new to you you might find it more interesting...

Rope climber

Last weekend saw the annual harbour festival in Brizzol. Still reeling from not having my camera with me when I witnessed the legend that is DJ derek I made sure I had it with me for the Saturday.

I managed to get behind this performers stage and thus had a nice clean background to shoot against as opposed to the crazy mirrored planetarium.

After converting it to black and white (as there wasnt much colour in the shot) I thought id rotate it to add a bit more interest, what the hell eh....
