I’ve just uploaded a gallery of shots from a studio session with Nick Dillon and Adam Duckworth at Adam’s studio in February. We were shooting Ashli Rosetti and I’m pretty pleased with the results. Full gallery here.

Thought provoking stuff

A while back a fantastic video was published on Scott Kelby’s blog by Zack Arias, and became something of a phenomenon. I was really amazed by the video and watched it loads, but what is more amzing is chapter 2 of the story.

This post, here, shows the level of impact and amount of feedback Zack got, and shows just how great an online community the global photography world has become: supportive, generous and thoguhtful. I really love reading Zack’s posts, while not an everyday feed like Scott’s they are varied and insightful, and frequently very deep.

If you’ve got time, watch this and hopefully you’ll have a long hard think as well:

Hong Kong Waterfront

A shot of the Hong Kong lightshow which goes on nightly at 2000 local time. The typical overcast conditions make the glow really interesting I think.

Water Drops

I’ve been testing the strobist water drop technique with some interesting results. I’m loving the fact I’ve currently got the time to play with these. These were also taken with my new Canon 50D, which i am absolutely loving!
