Some shots from a shoot this afternoon with Ella.
Some pinhole images I took several years ago for an A level project. I used a pinhole camera from bobrigby.com and polaroid film to capture the feet of my girlfriend. The images are wonderfully wide angle and each took around 8 minutes to capture. The final two images were taken with a homemade film canister pinhole camera, some photographic paper and some very bright studio flash heads ( hence the pained expression ).
Way back before Google Earth was around, I was lucky enough to be flown by my Father over a few areas in Northamptonshire.
We took off from Sywell Aerodrome and flew over Finedon, Towcester, Paulerspury and Pury End. The photos were taken on negative film and later the prints were scanned. Larger versions are available if required.

I have been showcased on Photography Served! The site showcases art from a range of different disciplines including typography, design and of course photography.
At the moment, my work is on the main page, but it can also bee seen here – http://www.photographyserved.com/Gallery/Water/351208
The photos I took of the Bramley IronMum event a few weeks ago have been printed in the Basingstoke Gazette (last Friday) and without permission / credit in the Gazettes website.
The Gazette forgot to send anyone to photograph it for themselves, and asked to use my shots, they didnt want to pay anything which I thought was odd for a commercial operation, but for the Ironmum organisers I allowed them to print it. I didn’t give permission for them to use it on their website, especially without giving at least some credit.
The article and my image can be seen here.
The first wedding of the season organised by Trevor Cruickshanks. The well attended fair had a short wedding dress fashion show organised by Jayne Ann Brides.

Today was the first Bramley IronMum race.
Around 25 Bramley Mums took part in either the Buns of Steel or the harder Abs of Iron race.
Photos of the event are on basingstokebabyphotos.com.
The race took the ladies running around the lanes of Bramley near to Basingstoke on North Hampshire. A 3 or 6 km run, followed by a 6 or 12 km cycleride, finished with a strength sprint.
They are a tough lot over in Bramley!
The old new site is up and running.

The site is now a collaboration between my antipodean sister and I.
A project in similarity and diversity of two very different location separated by over 10,000 miles.
