Francesca’s 4th Birthday
Last week, Francesca reached the big girl age of 4 years old, and last Sunday, she had a birthday party at Eddie Catz in Wimbledon. We all had a great time, and many thanks to the staff for making the party so much fun, and looking after us so well. You can see the... »
Family Portrait Shoot
A couple of weeks ago, we were over at my sister’s place for birthday parties. I used the opportunity to take the photos for the Strobist Bootcamp II Assignment 1. As we had the lights set up, I did a set of portraits for various members of the family, and was quite pleased... »

London Strobist Shoot – Tooting Bec Common
Went to a shoot with the London Strobist group from Flickr yesterday, meeting in Balham, then walking up to Tooting Bec Common. Unfortunately, there was a total no-show from the models booked, so we had to get creative and pose for each other. Only a few shots from the day, which you can look... »
Strobist Flag Raising on Iwo Jima
A shot inspired by Joe Rosenthal’s classic photograph of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. This time, the Strobist “flag” is being raised by the London Strobist Group on Tooting Bec Common, near Balham in London. The idea was to have a group shot which was a little different to the norm. It’s far... »
Has the iPhone 3GS got serious?
On a trip on the River Thames on Sunday evening, I took a few shots with my new iPhone 3GS, and after a bit of post processing, dropped some of the images on Flickr (click on the shots to see larger versions). Surprisingly, after less than a day, these have clocked up around 1200 views... »
Strobist Boot Camp II – Assignment 1
This is my entry for the first assignment on Strobist Boot Camp II. The idea was to produce two shots, one a portrait of the subject, and the other me substituted into the same shot. So, what we have is my recently retired Dad on the left, and me on the right (crikey –... »
Science Museum, May 09
We spent last Saturday at the Science Museum in London. I haven’t been there for nigh on 30 years (last went with my Dad when I was a young lad!), so it was impressive to see how much had changed. There’s also a video slideshow (as usual), which is on YouTube. Small version below, or... »
Wasing Park Strobist Shoot
Last weekend, I had a great day’s shoot at Wasing Park at Aldermaston in West Berkshire. I normally go into these shoots with a specific idea in mind for my main shot of the day, but this time I had no prior plans. So, a recce of the site highlighted a few interesting spots... »
Last of 2008, and Cycling in the Park
First of all, a few shots from Sunday afternoon in Bushy Park, where Francesca had a nice long bike ride. We had a play on the slides, than she had a good try at running me down while I took the pictures. Next, a few odds and ends from shots at home during 2008. Now... »
