Maritime Greenwich

On Wednesday my parents came to visit. My dad had wanted to surprise my mum for her birthday back in December and bring her on a day trip down to London, catching the early train from Halifax to London Kings Cross and then going back on the last one of the day. Unfortunately the snow we had at that time last year time played havoc with the trains that day, so the trip was postponed. [read more]

Race for Life

On the 26th June 2010 one of my friends, Laura, ran the Race for Life in Richmond park.  I went in support and took my camera with me. These few photos have been sitting around on my desktop for a while, so I thought it was about time I posted them here. [read more]

Alton Bus Ralley & Running Day

Here’s something a bit fun.  Sunday was nice weather so I ventured out to the Alton bus rally & running day.  When I was younger I attended a similar event in Halifax with my dad and really enjoyed it.  For some reason I find busses (and trains to some extent, but in that case only after a certain era — I’m not that interested in steam trains, but heritage DMUs are fun) really interesting.  I was also a little bored this evening, so had a little fiddle with these pictures.  In my professional work I would never apply this kind of processing but I quite like the effect I got from over driving the levels on these, especially given the nature of the subjects.

West End Live

In the spirit of my previous post, and because I’ve already released a couple of these photos under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence, I’ve decided to post a few of photos I took at the West End Live event last weekend.  I’ll try to do this more often when I take my camera out just for fun.

Brighton

I’d been planning for a while to take my camera out to Brighton but hadn’t really had much chance — it takes while to get there (via Clapham Junction), and whenever I’d had a free day the weather hadn’t been up to much — until yesterday.  I was lucky enough to be doing a shoot on Brighton pier, and as it was a glorious Saturday I decided to hang around for a bit and get some shots in for fun.  The following photos (along with sunburn) are some of the results.
