I've always been an advocate of natural lighting. I still am. But I've also been interested in other ways of lighting a shot. And there are so many ways of doing so.
One way I've tended to shy away from is flash. In the past I only had a fixed head flash, or built in flashes and got lousy results. Until discovering the freedom of digital, and before seeing the inspiring work of so many people on Flickr, I didn't know what to do with a flash and so just didn't use it. But recently the idea of getting a decent flashgun popped into my head. I still don't really know quite what to do with a flashgun but I'm sure it will open up all sorts of possibilities.

the day the planes hit the WTC, i'd spent nearly 7 uninterrupted hours on Donington Park. a cockup by the organisers meant less than a quarter of the normal attendees, and i was in and out of the pits all day. nearly half the attendees went home after lunch (!!) as they were too flogged to continue. tyres (2 days old) torn to pieces and footpegs ground down through the hero blob and into the peg on the left, and on the right... i ground off about a third of the length of the peg. think about that for a minute. sun and effort and sweat: back at the hotel nearby, the leathers could almost stand up by themselves. and this pose so neatly summarised my own state i had to take a photo.
awesome day.
.. not. A cockup, TBH - thought I was out of frame when I fired the flash - one of the perils of working in the pitch black!
Stitching large areas for hours on end can be like driving in the snow – hypnotic. When it comes to the red work in the tail, the direction of the stitches changes every other one. The reason for that is that the different directions reflect light differently, so it looks like there are two shades of red being used, rather than one. Stitching hypnosis can (and does) set in though, setting your hands on automatic while your mind has a wander. This often results in ‘waking up’ only to find you have gone in the wrong directions for quite a while. To help prevent this sort of cockup, I mark the directions ahead of time. This usually works, but every now and then, the hypnosis gets me and I keep stitching in one direction anyway.
Basically my camera took too long to switch on and I was unprepared. DB Cargo Class 66 66080 passes through Tamworth with the 12:31 (5 late) Bescot Up Engineers Sdgs to Toton North Yard, which on this occasion included RHTT stock.
so many morons get taiwan and thailand confused. apparently a few work in the royal mail (uk) too. the mailpiece was correctly labeled Taiwan...
Taken from the shelter (NY 282 337) on Meal Fell. Today the shelter provided little protection against the bitter northerly wind and driving sleet. This was a rare glimpse of scenery through the thick cloud.
See where this picture was taken. [?]

My last two Lake District pictures didn't keep you guessing long. I think this might be a bit harder. The point for where I'm standing. A bonus point for naming one or more of the visible hills.
York is flooded.

A female, to the cock eye of the male, this is the miss world equivalent (in our terms) with unparalleled beauty and taste and great looking boobs...without a doubt a true sex symbol in the cock's world. This one should turns me on if i'm a cock.

one extra step to see more of my cocks, copy and paste the above cock link to browser page ...reason ...flickr cockup
Taken with a Vivitar "Ultra Wide and Slim" camera, this cheap simple camera has developed something of a cult following, it has a 22mm lens and a fixed shutter speed.
Shot on Maco Eagle developed in Rodinal 1:25 for 12 minutes.
I messed this up fine style, the lid came off the developong tank shortly after I poured the developer in! Although I replaced it immediately, severe fogging was inevitable, I've done what I can to rescue the negs in the scanning, but the results are pretty poor.
A fine example of how unforgiving the simplest of old skool can be..............
I didn't change the f*ckin' zone focus................doh doh doh!!! (To quote a big fat yellow American dude)
Heading outbound along the A59 towards Poppleton, and this photo is looking back towards Beckfield Lane. What I don't understand is the allocation of roadspace here... the pavement to the left has been widened to form a dual use pedestrian footpath and on-pavement cycle lane, and alongside it is another cycle lane which has bene painted on the road - meanwhile the outbound traffic lane has had the cycle lane removed and the white central divider lines moved across to make the lane more narrow so vehicles cannot pass a cyclist heading out of York... so bikes going in to York have the choice of 2 different cycle lanes, yet those going out of York have no cycle lane at all. I'd like to think this is either a temporary arrangement until the pavement is completely finished or is a cockup that will be fixed by the council - but considering the council can't get their road markings along Malton Road correct I won't hold my breath.
Motts Coach got stuck on the showground....Yes i have made cockups and had whoopies in my 35 years...But i never ever got into this situation...i'm sorry but this shouldn't have happened . UK17MTT a Scania K410 / Irizar I6 C41FT Stuck at Showbus. Photo taken 29/09/24
Just appeared in the middle of the round-a-bout at the junction of the A24 and A25. It's somewhere in the region of 3 metres high. I just feel sorry for the poor sod who has to clean off the graffiti that is sure to appear sooner or later. Its only saving grace is that it cost the council tax payers of Mole Valley nothing.
Meal Fell summit video.
One of the 214 Wainwright Fells I walked between August 2009 and March 2011.
This jagged light trail effect was achieved by my picking my camera off the ground just before the shutter closed, which i did in an entirely deliberate fashion and in no way is this shot a cock-up that just randomly turned up an effect I like :)
A communication mixup landed this compact-car-sized boulder in the jaw crusher. Rather, trapped in the chute above the jaw crusher. My boss and the blasting supervisor prepare harnesses so they can mark where holes should be drilled. We put 9 holes in it, then blasted the boulder to bits. All the big bwana's (bosses) were there to see this cockup. The General Manager was not impressed.

A blatant technical cockup (changed aperture without realising, and totally blew exposure) but I liked the pose, so I played a 'high key' gamble and converted to a light B&W to 'cover my mistake'.
So yeah, this is *exactly* how I meant it to turn out
