Damn, thats a rubbish name for a title…  Anyway I was out on Compton beach last week, and after a lack of any decent photos I went back to shooting some close-up-water-action shots, which means getting as close to the water as possible. Some people may balk at the idea of having expensive electronics inches away from the briney blue, but I am not one of them. Yes,  I did get a little too close on more than one occasion, and my camera did get a little dunked, but it was only for a second and it all still works. Good old Nikon Sealing :-)

In other news,  I decided to put my GCSE Electronics to use and build myself a power pack for my Flashes.  Results to come as I’m trying to organise two more shoots before I head back to uni next week, as well as make a half decent start on our next project…

Its been the best 2 weeks down here,  photos can’t do it justice.  Here are some from the weekend…

Whats this? Two posts in as many days?? I thought that my new home-made tilt shift lens needed something half decent to test it out. So out into the wilds I went. As with most clichés, I’m slow to pick up on them, and by this time next week I will be back to not posting normal photos :-)

I prefer the first one, the second is a bit too well, same old use for tilt shift really, nothing special.

Nearly a month since last post,  and I can’t even say this one is something exiting.  I made myself a lens and tested it on the only subject I could find…

Mmmm. Hopefully I can get to use it in a less boring way soon… Still, seems to work….

Easter bank holiday, the beach and a perfect sunny day. Trying out some new styles/ideas…
