Something that tickled me whilst walking in Westminster was watching this construction. With the sun rising it almost looked like a gigantic ruler that someone was using to measure the shadows with.
Yesterday was the 'after' shot, here's the before, with a selection of ingredients that went into the delicious chocolatey gooey brownies. Shallow depth of field, and back-lit, with a slight touch of vintage, curtesy of #SnapSeed. This shot, and yesterday's, were taken with a polarising filter, adjusted to kill a lot of the reflected highlights in the shot — allowing, for instance, the cloth to show through the glass lid and concentrating the deep browns of the chocolate pieces. #chocolate #brownies #chocolateporn #foodporn #baking #homemade #chocolatebrownies #stilllife #still_life #most_deserving #icatching #bd #markmakingdesign #uk #dofaddicts #dofaddicts
Turns out my mother had my grandmother's jewellery box which, together with some almost-period jewellery and dressing table set, was perfect for this composition. Lit with natural daylight from camera left, and the oil lamp providing the front fill, together with some lovely ambience. Shot with a 50mm lens at F9 for full-focus and sharpness, with a polarising filter to saturate colours and kill some unwanted reflective highlights. Processed with Snapseed with just a touch of Vintage. #edwardian #dressingtable #antique #vintage #oillamp #jewellery #jewelry #pearls #mirror #reflection #flowers #ic_flowers #smallthings #instanaturelover #stilllife #still_life #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #niftyfifty #oxfordshire #uk #snapseed
A good Spring pudding, light zingy and refreshing, the lemon and raspberry offsetting the richness of the cream. Shot in the 'high-key' style, agains a strongly backlit background which lights up the glasses and ties in with the freshness theme. Overexposed by nearly 2 stops, plus a shallow depth of field, to throw the background into lightness and blur. #pudding #dessert #puddingporn #dessertporn #lemonmousse #raspberries #blueberries #highkey #high_key #stilllife #still_life #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #spring #blossom #blackthorn
One of the Lions protecting the Vajdahunyad castle outside the main gate. The dracula looking castle can be seen from the Heroes square, built in 1896 for the millennium originally in wood and plaster cast, was then rebuilt due to its popularity in stone.
Objects and lighting chosen to to ally blend in, as well as themed around 'things that might be found inside an old barn'. Featuring another of my many (but never enough) old oil lamps — this one is an old mining lamp, of the 'Davy Lamp' type. First time I've ever dared light it, not sure it's terribly safe! Scene is lit almost entirely by the Davy lamp, with just a little ambient from the room. After a bit of fiddling, decided to take a three-shot bracketed exposure, (F2 increments) and HDR combine them, on my iPad, in 'Mobile HDR' which did a pretty good job. Finished processing in Snapseed. #stilllife #still_life #dairy #sackweight #iron #warmtones #fiftyshadesoforange #oillamp #davylamp #mininglamp #minerslamp #markmakingdesign #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #hessian #seeds #hdr #hdrphoto #snapseed #canon60d #oxfordshire #uk
Well, it's Easter, so eggs and chocolate and daffodils are pretty well a must for any photo. Whilst yesterday's daffodils were still alive, it would have been a shame not to make the most of them in a some more photos. The mini-hurricane lamp always adds a touch of rustic charm to an image, tying in with the rural theme. The eggs are quails' eggs, from Waitrose Supermarket, that have been emptied out so that I can keep them for future photographs. Most advice for cleaning out eggs says to put holes in the top and bottom ends — this would be useless for photos, so I took a pin and carefully opened up a 1cm hole in the side (picking the least attractive side) and removed the contents with a narrow stream of water, from the tap (the eggs were rather old, so not good to keep the content for anything). #easter #eastersaturday #eastereggs #eggs #daffodils #flower #flowers #ic_flowers #ic_nature #quailseggs #hurricanelamp #mm_easter #oxfordshire #uk #most_deserving #photowall #all_shots #uk_photooftheday #icatching #bd #markmakingdesign #stilllife #still_life #instanaturelover #chocolate #chocolates #chocolateporn #chocs

Today, the remains of s.s. Merimbula, a large twin screw steamship, lie below Whale Point on Beecroft Peninsula, north of Jervis Bay. The vessel ran its bows onto the point on the night of 27 March, 1928, later breaking up on the steeply shelving reef.

I'm slowly getting back to doing things outside of the house. Today I rode the subway (C Train) into Manhattan from Brooklyn and I tested out a new camera: The "Camp Snap" digital camera. It is just 8MP and has no screen, but it is cheap. With no moving parts, it is pretty durable and pocket-sized, too. I wanted to test it out for "Street Photography" since it is small and discrete. In this use case, I like it.
It is a true point-and-shoot camera with a viewfinder. While it isn't good for weddings or portraits, it is a lot of fun, very compact, and I think quite usable for candid street photography.
As a toy camera, it does not do well in low-light situations and the integrated "flash" is not great (it is just an LED light, like a flashlight that comes on until the image is captured). The camera also had a hard time with things in motion. Be it a passing train at high speed or a pan shot of someone running. The images come out with a vague diagonal feel as you can see the sensor capturing data row-by-row in a split second.
My wife's face is reflected in the panel next to this subway passenger.
