H2O Alchemist's photostream
|
I'm just who I am, make of me what you will....
My creative side was reawakened mid 2006 after a friend showed me some HDR pictures on Flickr - inspired I bought myself a Canon EOS 350D + Kit Lens - since then my photographic kit has expanded significantly - there always seems to be 'just one more thing' I want/need! My favorites are my Sigma 10-20mm & my Canon 70-200mm which are rarely off my Camera.
Armed with a Camera my enjoyment of walking has also grown and I can regularly be found stomping across the country side around the UK - and more recently some of the great world trails - I do like a challenge...
All comments on my pictures are welcome, I learn when other people offer their opinion - good, bad or indifferent!

Simon Pow says:
"Blake is one of our band of three - all relative new to photography, but learning fast and enjoying the competition of our monthly assignments.
Landscapes are Blakes speciality. He'll hunt down a location, wait for the perfect light then eek out every last detail with deft use of HDR. A killer combination. He's no one trick pony though, with some fantastic candid portraiture and macro work in his photostream.
I want his kit bag!"25th October, 2006

Greg Marshall says:
"Alchemist: One who is versed in the practice of alchemy and who seeks an elixir of life and a panacea and an alkahest and the philosopher's stone.
Blake has only taken his photography seriously for a short time but is already producing some great work. Not only does he have an eye for the initial shot but his post processing skill has to be admired.
His new 350D would also like to take some credit but a good craftsman never blames his tools..."18th September, 2006
