Photography, random posts and very little about kebabs.
A Robin to be precise.
Quite a friendly little thing, only downside was the fact it was about 1.5 metres away and I was using my 300mm and 1.4 converter. Still the Image Stabiliser seems to have coped well as I was shooting at 1/50.
Taken at the Sandwell Valley RSPB reserve, where I spent the final morning of my Christmas holidays. Then went shopping, guess which one I prefer. I’ll give you a clue, it’s not shopping.
…..I can’t recall If I mentioned I don’t do weddings (photographically anyway). Anyway, Jenny came round to pick up the albums yesterday. She’s very happy with the outcome. I enjoyed the day, not too sure if I’d do it again.
Rachel, Lena and Ana were the bridesmaids for the day

Albums from Blurb
Glad it’s all done, folks seem happy. Reminds me, must send Jenny the Blurb link 🙂
Yes, it’s back. Well to be fair it’s never gone away, just there’s not been any events planned.
So stick 6th December 2009 in your calender, get up early ready to take pictures at 04:00.
Me, I’ll be heading towards the Bodies Revealed exhibition at the Custard Factory. You can join too (providing there’s tickets left) by clicking on links on Karen Strunks’s website.
So where else can you photography bodies at 04:00 in the morning? Well a morgue I guess, but they tend to be a little restrictive with photography.
So join us looking at bodies.
Despite my moaning about Adobe in the past (and future) they still produce my main workflow tool: LightRoom
Now after a year and a bit they’ve released the beta version of LR3. As usual with the beta versions you cannot use an existing library. Which is a little frustrating as it means to test I have to duplicate work. Though I guess as the Beta is slated to be a little buggy then I suppose they don’t want togs to destroy their work.
So differences:
Initially the Interface looks the same, not a great deal of difference here then.
A few differences on the left hand side as it now shows a Publish Services option. Handy for a quick upload to Flickr or in my case hopefully my webserver. Though only tested Flickr at the moment. Will save me using iPhoto! Also it seems many API have been written for the LR2, so no doubt these will be converted for LR3. Would be nice to see an Alamy one!
….. a new series started, oh around 3 minutes ago.
Sadly I missed the A380 flypast on Saturday 5th September as I was shooting a wedding (which of course you all know I don’t do). However as luck would have it Emirates agreed to bring their Airbus A380 to BHX (Birmingham) to celebrate the 70th birthday of the Airport.
I took a few pics……..
Taken from the old airport looking towards the end of the runway.
Runway was checked after arrival to see if it broke!
Quite a large attendance on the top of the old Multistorey car park. Anyway I didn’t want to wait for take off so I went home. Came back 2 hours later for the take off……
Sadly I went too early to grab a picture of the RAF TriStar that took off. So join me again soon or more like whenever the next big thing turns up.
