I'm not sure why I like this one exactly, but it drew me in. That's usually how it happens (Jolene will tell you). I can walk down the street, my eyes darting to and fro, and spot something.....something.....which causes me to stop dead in my tracks, lift the camera, and snap. Many times she kept talking and strolling along unaware I paused to do my thing.
Anyway, I guess I was struck by how this little window of "cute" and "pretty" and "darling" was smack in the middle of the grit and grime of midtown Manhattan. Fire and 911 emergency number signs on the door, right next to sweet, tiny communion and party dresses.
Worlds collide. Worlds exist together. Such is the nature of the big city.
Yeah, I'm weird.
You're just catching on?

The manager of our local cinema allowed me access to one of their screens whilst closed so I could take some pictures.
The great thing about no one being there was I could take in all my camera gear including light stands and reflectors.
My wife came with me to be my sexy assistant and help me get loads of fun shots.
We spent most of the time in the back row but managed to grab a couple of shots LoL.
The main shot I took and went to the cinema for I have entered into a competition which states you cannot enter if the picture has been published elsewhere so I can't put it on here for another few weeks yet.
Here is a back up picture to show you for now.
I set up my camera on my tripod and composed the shot then took 2 flashguns with me into the fire exit doorway.
My Nikon sb600 was on a light stand and pointing towards the ceiling and my Jessops 360 AFD was on a little floor stand placed on the floor just beside me pointing at the wall.
Both flashguns were set to around 1/4 power.
This shot is a testament to my Yongnou wireless triggers and receivers as not only was they around 50ft away they was hidden behind the wall out of line of sight and still fired faultlessly.
I converted to mono then done some dodging and burning then finished off by adding a picture of the famous Nosferatu scene to add to the overall horror feel.
Once the competition round closes I will be posting my main picture on Flickr and my blog with a lot more details.

And so the Christ Alpha* at Sainsbury's Cheam, London is open to service just in time for Christmas! Captured in a blinding morning sunshine after 8am with a dusting of snow, perfect winter. ❄️
Meanwhile this system seems to have a life of its own already and was busy washing itself...! Every ten seconds its underchassis floor was spouting up hot, steaming water like a fountain. Was a nice spectacle to watch from a distance, but I'm never walking through any wash bay again :V
*thought this was a Cadis but been corrected by @Aquavalet, it's an ALPHA apparently!

This starling has a nest above one of the fire exits at Royal Dornoch Golf Club, and if you stand there will pose for you with a beakful of worms before diving into the gutter to feed it's very noisy young.

Fuji Sensia 400 iso
Pulled 1/2 stop
Cross Process
Model: Jolie Gracey-Musick
Shot a texture roll the week earlier. Loaded it back in and shot with Jolie using a ringflash. Figured the flash might wash out the 400 iso, so I pulled it a half stop. Reds really pop on xpro'd sensia 200 & 400.

The little I have time for testing using Oly 17mm F1.8, I have gotten the impression it's good. There's two annoying things about it:
- Overpriced lens hood (which I'm not going to buy, any 3rd party suggestions?)
- manual focus has weird delay. 12-40mm doesn't have that.
A part of the city that I've always liked...tucked away amongst walls and walls of sandstone. I doubt this area will be here within the next few years as "regeneration" is the buzz word. This beauty will undoubtedly be lost only to be replaced by "modern" architecture. This city has lost so much of this over the years....and it's still happening.
