First signs of passing winter are the waterdrops, that forms in to the tips of branches when snow melts under the warming sun..
I used a sparkler and taped it to the roundabout, wrapped it in wire wool, flashed me with an incandescent torch...problem I had was that in the picture you could see it going on....so I left it...It drove me nuts trying to think how I could get the picture without all the mess and using PS...Then I remembered reading on someone elses post about covering the lens back up with the lens cap.....
Flashed me with the torch...put the lens cap back on, lit the sparkler and sent the roundabout spinning, moved out of shot and took the lens cap back off....

This weekend I attended a wedding reception that had a Great Gatsby theme and everyone that attended went the full 9 yards and everyone looked amazing…
I took my little 50mm and this lens surprises me every time and this time it was the focusing that surprised me, it was so quick and combine that with the tracking in the camera it was all over the place...even with single point focus it was still going nuts…but had lots of fun with it…
My friend had some really cool and classic shoes on and I wanted to capture them and made sure that they just stood out…I had to get all the way down to the floor to get this and had to lie there for people to walk past, the bride and groom made the comment that not even there photographer is doing what I am doing…lol thought it was funny.

As I was walking back to my car I looked over at the Aquatic Centre and saw that the sun was coming down and the remaining light had lit up the underneath of the centre's roof and the clouds.
Was not sure how to edit this but I just stuck with the basics…increase the clarity and shadows, reduced the blacks a little and increased the blue, orange and yellow saturation a little and then finally added a little bit of vignetting in Lightrooms.

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before but I really like my LED light tube…lol
What I love about light is that it can make a small or big difference in the picture and in this picture the light actually makes it look like the boxes have distorted.
As much as I love the middle image as a stand alone image and I might post it at a later date, I just could not help but put it together with another image.
With regards to post, I took the left image and flipped it horizontally and put it on the right so it looked like a book case holder effect and added a navy blue background in photoshop. I took in back in lightrooms and increased the sharpness, clarity and reduced the highlights and blacks a little bit.

Shot around 6 a.m. in the Easter sunday morning, waiting for the sun to rise. Only me and my freezing fiancée waited with the sleeping boats for the light to come. Everywhere else it was dead quiet.
A Finnish winter scenery.
As Halloween is coming up I wanted to create something different and something that was not too cliché. However everything that I could think of involved me going to a graveyard, which I did not mind, but the cemeteries round where I live close their gates at night and it did not sit right with me jumping over the gates, not by myself anyway…lol
Few months ago there was a forest fire near by, so decided to go back as I thought texture of the burnt wood, would show up well and give it a bit more of an eerie feel. Once I found my spot I looked around and chucked some twigs around and noticed that there was a log there that looked just like a snake (to the left of the pumpkin in the picture), so I had to use it.
I bought the pumpkin from a party store and cut a hole out in the bottom so I could put some Red LED keyring lights in and placed the pumpkin as close to the camera as possible. I had to dig a stick into the floor so that my mask could stay up right. My friend is a plumber and he uses these smoke sticks to detect leaks and he had some left, so I taped them to the pumpkin, log and stick.
I used a flash gun with a blue gel to light the back tree up and used another coloured gel with my torch to light the floor up, although for some reason I did not think to light the floor up by the camera, but I think it worked out. I used tungsten torch to light up the back of the pumpkin and the mask.
In lightrooms I used the adjustment brush to turn the sky to blue, increased the clarity and added a little lens vignetting. I had to take into PS to tidy it up a little more…you could see the light from the flash gun and I wanted to remove it. I felt something was missing and it needed a little bit more so I made my first set of brushes with a little bit of help and I added a witch and some bats into the image.
Happy Halloween…

The Olympic park is now open so I thought I would go check it out as it is open 24 hours as when it first opened I was not able to go so really was excited to get there…and just arrived as the blue hour had kicked in, sadly the time I got to this point the blue hour was nearly finished but that kind of worked out in my favour.
This is another time I wished I had a wide angle on me (if I get to 10 I am going to by one…lol) I had to get right down to the floor so I could avoid the street lamps and avoid getting in lens flare.
In LR, I had to bring the red down a little because it was a bit to much, I bought the highlight down all the way and the whites too. The orbit went totally dark so I increased the exposure a little and when I did I noticed a few more stars appear. I increased the clarity and then finally I increased the vignetting and it just lightened the edges a bit.

This was a little shop that I came across while at the Stable Market and just could not help but get the camera from In My Bag and take a shot...
Little adjustment of contrast and colour in LR

I have recently seen a few pictures in explore of people placing rocks on top of each other and in various locations, I really liked this idea and wanted to try my own version and plus it gave me a really good excuse to play with my rocks…lol
The setup…Like my previous picture I used foil in the background to create my Bokeh. This time I scrunched up the foil and had lots of small little creases, which gave me a smaller Bokeh. I used a torch again to light the background with a blue gel.
I placed the rocks on my table (I forgot to wipe the table down and you can see my finger prints on in…lol). The rocks are actually white but because I used a incandescent torch this does not show…but I do like how the incandescent torch changed the colour of the stones gave it a warmer feel.
I was really happy how the picture turned out but felt like something was missing, so I decide to add some text, originally I was going to add 'Insert zen quote' but as much as I found that funny, it did not sit right with the picture, so I went for balance is beautiful instead for a personal reason.
Just decreased the blacks, shadows and highlights in LR. I used PS to create the text, again I used the overlay blend mode and added a outer glow to the text.
For those who asked about the Foil, this is where I got it from www.diyphotography.net/el-bokeh-wall

For some time now I have wanted to do a shot with my hand on fire, I have tried many times in photoshop to recreate this but never been satisfied with the results. So I thought I would set my hand on actual fire.
For the last few weeks have watched a few youtube videos and read some articles on what I can use without burning my hand and eventually I found a way that I can use without causing to much damage. I took some cotton material and wrapped it up and then used an elastic band to keep the material in place. I got some lighter fluid and poured a little on the material, first few attempts I did put a little bit more than I should have and the flame did get carried away...lol
In lightrooms I increased the clarity all the way up, along with a little bit of contrast and vibrance. I then took it into PS where I used the cloning stamp to remove the elastic band from my hand and then added some small flares around my hands. I took it back to LR and used the radial filter and just focused it round my hand so I still would get the glow on my face, I did not want to darken it to much as I wanted to show the tunnel, but at the same time there was still to much light, so I used a little bit of lens vignetting. Finally I used the iris tool to bring out my eyes a little.
This is still not what I was really going for but it is a starting point on which I can now build on, I want more fire...lol and I can not wait to go back out and try and build on this. Massive thanks to Andy and Daniel for helping me take the shot.

There is a little hill in the Olympic park and it has all these bright orange tulips (I think they are tulips) along side it. I wanted to get a row of them and use them like a leading line to the orbit but it meant I had to stand in a funny position and as I just got my lens back I did not want to do anything stupid that would jeopardise me or the camera…lol…so I played it safe…
I bought the saturation down a little bit as the was a lot of blue in the sky and I wanted the main focus to be the orange. I increased the orange luminance and the clarity and the finally added some colour priority.

This image was taken at the Olympic park and for those of you that have not been I think this place is amazing and a great place to visit and take pictures, especially at night.
Those of you who live in London, a group of us will be going down there and will be meeting outside the aquatic centre around 7pm (14/5/2014), please come down and join us.
I absolutely love this path and every time I see it, I feel like there is a picture there but never no how to take it, I have had a few attempts and for me this is the best one so far, but will be try again as I still think there is a better shot there. I feel I need to get higher…lol
I did use a long exposure and hence why you can see some of the tree leaves out of focus but I like that. I was not sure how or whether I should edit this as it looked fine as is. But I decided to use the spilt toning tool in lightrooms and changed the shadows to blue and the highlights to green and played with the saturation accordingly. Increased the clarity and decreased the green saturation a bit as it was a bit to bright.
What I liked about this area, it kind of adds its own vignetting to it so did not have to add much to it. This image was also used by Time Out London www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152091435287405&set...

Those of you using taking my picture and using it on SKYSCRAPERCITY without my permission please stop!!!...its getting a bit boring having to email them constantly.
I have started to notice that, with me, trying to get the shot that I want is never straight forward…lol
I went to this spot a few days ago and on my first visit, I left with a picture that I was happy with, its not till I got home and viewed my images on a bigger screen that I noticed that I did not get a light trail of the cable cars from the Emirates Air Line.
So I decided to go back and try again, however on my second attempt, it was windy as hell. Every picture that I took just hand camera shake, even though I increased the shutter speed and ISO, I just could not get it to work.
Now on my third try I had left work early and thought I would get there just after sunset and go for that blue hour. However I got stuck in the Blackwell tunnel and totally missed it...lol, but to make this worse, when I got to the spot and looked at Canary Wharf and saw that the pyramid light was off!!!...I got my shot and came home.
I adjusted the white balance temperature to give it that bluish/cold effect, I think I over it did it with the clarity but when I did I notice the steam from the CitiGroup building pop up. Decreased the highlights a bit and added a little vignetting in lightrooms. I then took it in to Photoshop and took the pyramid from my first picture and place it on to this one.
I am hoping that HSBC will put their light on…

I love a good explore regardless of where I am and I loved exploring this hotel I found that each hall way had a different look, when I saw this I knew right away how I was going to edit this, the first shot was with out no body in but I felt like there was something missing…So I asked my brother in law if he would walk down, when he got under the light I screamed at him to look left but he did not and stop instead. I took my shot and was happy with it and moved on…
I increased the clarity and decreased the saturation a bit and then played with the split toning and added a little bit of colour priority and lens vignetting in lightrooms.
This image was used in time out london, but they changed the title...lol number 27

Just before I took this shot I was across the road at the front of the fence and was trying to shoot through it…I had it on manual focus and forgot to put it back on auto focus once I was done…hence why the bottom half of the picture is a bit blurry.
At this point the sun has just started to go down and was behind me and gave the approach lights an extra orange glow and the runway lights had just come on.
I decreased the exposure, shadows and blacks a little bit and cropped a little. Then Brought the saturation down and increased the vibrance and final just added a little colour priority in LR. I also went over the lights on the plane and the yellow approach lights just to make them stand out a little bit more.

This is my second attempt at taking this picture…I wont lie I did love the first one, only because flew right round the tower. This time I went back not a single plane flew round the tower.
I wished I had angled the image a bit more just so I could have got a bit more sky in over the tower but I shall same that for next time.
The tower was a little bit bright and I did not want it totally to be the main focus of the image…so I bought the saturation, highlights and shadows to and increased the clarity and contrast to even out the picture so it had a more balance feel to it. Just added a little bit of vignetting to the image to dark the sky a little and then feathered it out all in lightrooms.

Recently I have been practising on dropping my shutter speed as low as possible with out the use of the tripod. Not as straightforward as I thought but it is a work in progress...
This was taken at the London Wonderground, which is an awesome place to visit and a great place to hang out.
Not the greatest shot of the star flyer really need to go back in the blue hour but I was really impressed on how sharp it came out. Exif data 1/6 seconds (hand held), F3.5 and ISO 160.
Not much on the editing side, however they sky was pitch black and I found messing around with the split toning I was able to add a little blue back in.
