Beach Huts!

One sunny winter's morning...

We're still exploring the local area so there will be plenty more shots to come!

Star Trails

Something that I have been wanting to try out for a while now is Star Trails. These are very long exposures (or a series of shorter exposures blended together) that show the movement of the stars at night.

It was a beautifully clear night and I had seen a good location so I went out for a test shoot. It was freezing cold on the seafront in Teignmouth and this shot took about half an hour to take, but I think it was worth it. I hope you all enjoy it too!

Dawlish

In October we finally made the big move from Leeds all the way down to the small town of Dawlish on the south Devon coast.
Its a beautiful little town and so different to Leeds, but we're much happier here so it was definitely a good choice! As you can imagine, we have been exploring the area and here are a few shots taken from the seafront in Dawlish...

Strobes, Models and Photographers

About a week before we moved away from Leeds, I had one final photoshoot. Quite a different photoshoot too. Jointly organised with a fellow photographer, Gavin Forster, this was the follow on from the Strobist shoot at the start of October.

Involved there was a total of 7 models, 6 photographers and an awful lot of flashes!

We started early so there was the opportunity to take some shots with natural light and those with limited experience had time to get to know each other and the equipment.

As the evening progressed, it began to get dark very quickly and the strobist equipment was out and helped to produce some very different images.

Before the end of the shoot, we did a much larger set up, using 5 flashes/lights and motion to produce some very different and more dynamic images. This was a really good laugh and the shots were really fun.

It was a brilliant evening and everyone really enjoyed themselves. It was really nice to work with a group of both models and photographers as this isn't something that I often get chance to do!

Owen's 1st Birthday!

It was Owen's 1st birthday this week so I went to Gloucestershire to visit. Needless to say he was spoilt rotten, but he's such a lovely little boy and so well behaved he totally deserved it!

We took him to 'Magicland', an indoor play centre in Cirencester and then to Prinknash Bird & Deer Park.

Wedding: Tom & Emily

Just two rather hectic days after moving, I had the pleasure of photographing Tom & Emily's special day at Stonehouse Court in Gloucestershire.

It was a beautiful day, the weather held out and the location was stunning. Emily looked beautiful in her wedding dress and Tom was a very relaxed groom.

The happy couple went to Cuba for their honeymoon and had a fantastic time!
