Something a bit different for a Friday afternoon...experiments with lighting.

Aldis camera with Lukos III f/7.7 lens. A glorious range of shutter speeds from 1/100s to 1s and bulb. This takes 127 roll film, of which I have a 'hand-cut' roll on it's way from Germany. If any results come out I'll be sure to post them.

Shot with a pair of soft boxes on a marble board.

One of Paris's great landmarks...trying to at least be faintly original with it!

First super-symmetry shot in a while - good to get back to my roots :)

Have a great week my friends!

A 6.45 start on Sunday morning...

Laying face down in the mud on the banks of the Thames....

Ending up sodden, looking like a mud-monster...

Gear covered in gunk and sand...

Enormous fun!

That was all in aid of a shoot for a book cover (news to follow soon), but I grabbed this one as I waded along the waterline. For the tech-inclined amongst you, this is trying out a new HDR tone-mapping technique - very pleased with the results so far.

Hope all is well with you in the land of the internet.

Beautiful, dilapidated wrought-iron gates in Lisbon.

Something a bit different for a Friday afternoon.

To my flickr friends, have a great weekend!
