Featherstone Castle

I recently went on trip to Feather Stone Castle, in Northumberland, with my Photography class.  We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights.  We were surrounded by fields and a river, in the middle of nowhere.  Our task was to experiment with Metz hammer head flash units, and reflectors.  We spent all day taking photos, and editing in the evening.  Here are some of the images that I have edited.

This was shot using a reflector bouncing the light back onto the subject. 

This is me (Standing in the corner) and my group in a camera obscure.  A camera obscure is a very primitive camera.  

This was taken with the Metz hammer head flash.  There was a dead rabbit behind the stone...

Metz hammer head flash to the left.  

This is Tom looking scary holding an axe.  Metz hammer head flash to the left.  

This shot was not part of the task, but I liked how the clouds looked, with the light falling on the right hand side of the tree.  

First post in a week!

Hey guys, sorry for my lack of posts, I've been away on a trip with college (I'll share the photos with you soon, when I get my photoshop serial number through).  I've decided to post the rest of the images from the last few posts all in this post, because I have lots of things/images to post!

Anyway, here we go.....

This is Brendan, my flat mate, who kindly offered to be my subject for the 'Someone you live with' photo.  

This is the local Chinese takeaway up the street from me.  This was a bit of a snap shot as I was walking past, but it won me a roll of film!

I saw this interesting door when I was out in town.  It was the only door in the side of a very long building, maybe I should have got a perspective shot.....

This is a bin.  Bins are disgusting and smelly.  

This was shot in Hyde Park, unfortunately I only had one lens on me at the time, and I didn't want to get too close. 

I tried to get the clouds moving by stacking ND filters, but I couldn't quite get it right, so i went home and had some breakfast!

This cloud was huge! About 5 minutes after shooting this, I got soaked!

I hope you enjoy these, I shall hopefully be putting more photos up soon!

Bar

This is the 3rd of the 10 images I had to shoot.  As you can probably imagine, I had a lot of fun taking this....I had to buy a few pints to get the nicest glass....and nicest beer :)

Enjoy!

Fenced Off

This is the second image of the ten photos I had to shoot for my project.  I struggled a bit with this one, Its hard to make an image that will be different and interesting compared to the others in the group.  Anyway, I hope you find this interesting....

Baloons

As I mentioned in my last post, I was given a task to do over the weekend.  I had to take one photo of each of the ten headings I was given.  This is the first of the ten; People.  I will be uploading a few a day.

I shot this in Leeds shopping centre, when out with some friends.  I saw the man with the balloons, and new that he had to be my centre of focus.

A Walk in the Park

Apologies for my lack of posts recently, I've been busy at college, not having any time to shoot anything. I was given a small task to do over the weekend.  I have to take one photo of each of the subjects on the list that was given to me.  

I saw this guy walking up the path, and I asked him if I could take his picture.  He was unsure at first, but told him about my blog, and he agreed!

This was shot at 1/60sec, f/2.8.

Apologies

I've not really had enough time to do a post since my last one, i'm still getting used to uni life!  I shall do a more in depth post when i have something to write about!
