The abandoned gym
A couple of photographer friends of mine have this habit of arranging crazy projects and inviting me along - I am truly blessed! This was one of Gino's ideas, he had been given access to a disused gym in Chatham and he contacted loads of different people to get them together in one place for a big shoot. We had three photographers, make-up artists, cosplayers, actors, look-a-likes, models, model's mums and partners, random friends of friends, and a beautiful St Bernard dog.
I set up a basic studio against one of the walls, with a 3' octobox as a cross light camera left, and after the first shoot I introduced a beauty dish camera right pointed along the wall to kill any harsh shadows. I wanted to work the wall, letting my models lean and use it as a base to pose. This leads to much more relaxed shots than using a sweep, which is my usual set-up in my home studio. I used my EM-1 primarily with the 12-40 f/2.8 at around f/8 and 1/250.
First up for me was the lovely model Kinkles - I started experimenting with the shadow before deciding to remove it with a second light:9Jul 24, 2017 -
Web-Betty and Crdome's Denver Adventure
If
@Crdome ever messages you and says "I'm coming to visit, let's go on a photowalk," do it! A few weeks ago we spent a great day walking around Denver. We chatted, had some drinks, oh, and we took some pictures. 
Michael's been to Denver many times (even lived here in CO for a stretch) but I figured he hadn't strolled down South Broadway since it's been revamped, and I know he wanted to check out the Santa Fe arts district. So we started at one of my favorite places, a tiki bar called Adrift.
While I waited (Denver traffic is a nightmare these days) I enjoyed the atmosphere and a wonderfully delicious stores in town....30Jul 21, 2017 -

Life On A Lemon ...
These little things, about a centimetre long, are living out their lives on an ageing lemon in the garden, on a bamboo stake. They are attracted to something about the decaying fruit, mold, fungus or/and other qualities not discernible to me.
They live on similarly decaying oranges, and the occasional banana – I have a veritable orchard staked in the garden, all good fun – just to attract the faeries from the bottom of the garden.14Jul 20, 2017 -

Putting the F back into Sydney
My wife has had a tough year with her health and we've been looking for a chance to get away for a night or two. On Saturday morning we made a snap decision to book flights to Sydney (no, don't ask the price at short notice on a holiday weekend!!), found a reasonably swish hotel with a vacancy near the harbour, farmed out the kids for two nights and before you could say "Is there room on the credit card", we were on our way!
