Here’s my first wedding film trailer from a few years ago, pre-covid.
Looking to get back out there photographing again soon!


 

Fuji X100s, Work, Fun and life update

I seem to go through stages of updating this sometimes once a week, sometimes more, then other times (like now) not in the last 4 months.

Since then I have had a little change when it comes to my equipment .
I one day last month I decided to sell all my Canon gear and not look back.
It took a few weeks to shift it all but it's all gone, leaving behind only the wireless triggers and light modifiers that I have.

For a while I was camera-less but knew i'd like an X100s as soon as i'd heard about it.
I have friends who've had the x100 since it came out but this one seemed to fix the problems of the earlier model so it was an easy choice.
I wanted a small, good looking, walk around camera that could also do similar work to my DSLR gear (be it all in a 35mm equivalent fixed package) .

So from now on I have to adapt and work with what I have, the single local length and really get to know the 35mm inside and out. 

Since July i've been photographing various bike races:

I've been photographing Motorsport:

Obviously some more Weddings:

Then the usual wondering round taking photos and day trips to places:

 

Plymouth CX

When I say I didn't have long to get a shot of these guys, I literally mean 2 laps then broke to go home. Not only that, but on the first run Matt got a puncture. 

However hopefully we will get to meet up again and get some proper photos taken soon. 

Plymouth CX is led by Matt Noble and is a cycling evening he likes to hold with mates and newcomers alike to enjoy, learn and improve on riding skills around Plymouth.

Their Facebook page can be found here - https://www.facebook.com/PlymouthCX?fref=ts 

and the Twitter feed being here - https://twitter.com/PlymouthCX 

Either one of those two links will keep you updated with what they do.
There are some sexy designs for clothing being produced at the moment by Will Amery .
What they should do is give me one for free when I supply them with good images for their Facebook page :P They just don't know this yet.

 

PS yes I know the modifier is in the top. I've been working hard and really tired, I'll probably regret uploading without removing it, but they aren't official shots or anything so I really don't mind that much.
However if I could think straight then I would have done it before uploading. 

And to finish off, a blurry out of focus rushed gear shot. 

Speedlite into Elinchrom Rotalux deep octa 100cm 1/16th, with two speedlites 1/16th power, one gridded cam right, and the other you can see flaring into the camera. 
Most shot on 85mm at f2.2, the rest at 50mm f2.2.
I could have done with 1/2 of full CTO for the flash with the setting sun.

Plymouth College of Art Fashion Show 2013

I attended the Fashion Show in Plymouth on the 13th June 2013.  

The photos I have taken were only from that one day, even though there was supposed to be 4 shows in total. I was there for just around 2 hours or so. 

I met some incredible designers and models, hopefully we will be collaborating very very soon and bringing a whole new body of work. 

Here are some of the images from the evenings event.
