So I’m up to week 28 of my 52 project and I’m struggling! I’ve been lucky enough to land a couple of paid portrait shoots scheduled to take place over the next month, which has resulted in me going nuts over my website. A couple of weeks ago I added pricing and ever since I’ve [...]
This weeks shot sees my first attempt at split toning/cross processing. I’ve seen lots of photos over the last year that use this effect but just didn’t know how it was achieved, after reading a magazine article on cross processing I finally knew what to look for and so starting hunting out some tutorials. I [...]
It seems I’ve been a bit lazy with my posts lately and I’ve not added any new content to the site. I’ve now added all my recent 52 images to the Project gallery and prepared tomorrows post in advance as I’ll be out all day. I’ve got a few shoots lined up over the next [...]
I’ve had image like this in mind for a while now and so I asked my girlfriend if she’d help me out. I offered to buy her a pair of false lashes and any makeup she needed, so I got a funny comment of a guy on the market when it was me that picked [...]
Today I received a message via fotoblur.com from Ivan Terzic, asking for permission to use the week 2 photo from my 52 project I’ve been framed! on his blog. To my knowledge this is the first time someone has selected one of my images and chosen to use it as an example of work they [...]
Trying not to be lazy this week and just paste in the comment from the Flickr upload, but then last weeks posts were a bit of an afterthought. This weeks shot was opportunistic, and was a backup backup shot, just incase the snowdrop pictures I had planned didn’t work out. I’m over snowdrops now, they’re [...]
I did so well 2 weeks ago, and then I go and completely forget to write a blog post for last weeks 52 upload. I’m writing this on Tuesday, 2 days after uploading week 8′s photo, so this is a record for late blogging… oops! Well here it is, it’s the edit I planned, but [...]
I’m actually posting this blog post within 5 minutes of uploading the 52 image!! (First time for everything) Guess what… this isn’t the photo I wanted for this week. It seems my 52 is fast becoming a range of last minute ideas, but I hope the quality isn’t suffering as a result. This week I’d [...]
Another massivly late blog post to accompany the weeks upload… ooops! I really need to get into the habit of writting these posts at the same time as I upload. Problem is that by the time I’ve finished editing the image and written the comments ready for upload, I’m usually feeling a little guilty over [...]
This isn’t the photo I planned to upload this week, but despite that I’m really happy with it. My plan was to take a photo of some railway track with my girlfriend out of focus in the background balancing on the rail. Dangerous? Illegal? Well not not really, as there a section of disused railway [...]
Due to a heavy week at work I’ve not got round to posting the details of week three, although the photo was uploaded on schedule on Sunday the 15th to keep this project on track. I got the photos taken nice and early started work on the edit in the afternoon, but by 11pm I’d [...]
Left this a bit late, must try harder! Over the last year I’ve found a few great projects from people doing 52 or 365 projects consisting primarily of self portraits. I’ve added a couple of these to my contacts on Flickr so that I see see where these projects lead the twisted minds that are [...]
