Verax releasing first Album

Verax releasing first Album
I am sure looking forward to the new Album from Spalding Band, Verax.
It is to be called “Omega Fantasy” and I’ll be featuring it on my Radio Show as soon as I get my sticky fingers on it.
Good luck guys.

Verax

Local Spalding Band, Verax, shot their first music video the other day at Overloaded night club.
It was a great night with the fans going wild and I managed a few photograhs as well.

Become a trainspotter

The most interesting site in Minehead is the Station along with the trains, a mixture of Steam and vintage diesel.

There was also a turntable demonstration by staff who love their jobs.

It’s a pity modern industry cannot share the dream.

Holiday posting

On Holiday
Catching the train at Dunster was a trip way past memory lane, to a time that borrows more from fantasy than fact.

Sad Day for Countryside mammoth

It was just as well that I stopped to take a photograph of the Mammoth hay stack as I have just seen on the news that it has been destroyed by fire.
I find it very sad that when someone takes the time, love and effort to create what was a fantastic work of art, to be enjoyed by passers-by free of charge, cheering their day, it should be treated with such disrespect.

Mammoth
Travelling in North Lincolnshire and this was definitely worth a photo.
I love the way some farmers are getting creative in the countryside.

Rock on 2

A band with attitude in shed loads. Great stuff!

Rock Music

It’s been a long time since my last blog entry because things have been so hectic and there have been so many changes in the World.
Newspapers are closing down and those left standing don’t want to pay for photography any more. Press work for me has hit an all time low so I have been, quite successfully, chasing other avenues of work.
I have also been working as a Rock Show presenter on local radio statio, Tulip Radio, and I must say it is great fun. If anyone had suggested I would be presenting a live radio show just a short time ago I would have quaked in my boots. How times change.
I still manage to incorporate some photography into that side of my life as well and had a great night with local band, Verax, during the week.

Managed to get a good interview with the band for the Radio Show as well.

Emma Johnson at Landguard Fort

I recently had a trip to Felixstowe and took in an Art Exhibition at Landguard Fort by resident artist, Emma Johnson.

Being a Sunny day with lighting restrictions I decided to shoot 5 exposures seperated by 1.5 stops and blend them together to make a high dynamic range image.

Landsguard Fort dates back to the Napoleonic War and is a gorgeous moody environment. Too much light would have spoilt the ambience.

Bright Sunlight through the windows would make normal lighting techniques very difficult even if it was allowed.

I really liked Emma Johnsons’s work in her exhibition entitled “Points of reference” and hope that I have done her justice.
