bethandcraig-3738

Another shot from Beth and Craig’s wonderful wedding in Lincoln. This is another taken at the cathedral. It was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting around on the hotels golf buggy to get over to the castle and cathedral with Beth and Craig.

On a technical note this, and the last shot were both completely processed using Lightroom 3. I’m should have CS5 by the end of this week, but couldn’t wait until then. But then Lightroom 3 is so good, who needs Photoshop!

5 Oct ’10 Wedding

A few weeks ago now I photographed Beth and Craig’s wedding in Lincoln at the Charlotte House Hotel. Since it is situated right next door to the Castle and Cathedral we took advantage and spent some time in the grounds of the castle, and with this shot, at the entrance to the cathedral.

5 Oct ’10 Wedding

confetti1802

One of my favourite confetti shots, obviously everybody wants a shot the moment the confetti gets showered upon them, and this is just after that shot. I like this because of the shallow depth of field with the confetti sharp. A great wedding in Lincoln was the setting for this and I will be posting a few more from the day.

SnakePass-3465-Edit

At the weekend I photographed Sarah and Marks wedding in Lincoln. Having just imported over 1000 shots on to my laptop its going to take sometime going through everything, and I will be posting some shots from the wedding on here soon. This was taken on my way home, I know, I can’t put the camera down. But this view was awesome and I had to stop and a take a few shots.

So like I said the next few posts will be documentary or reportage style wedding shots, with the odd posed one thrown in too!

LotSW-0640-Bex

Heres one of Bex chilling out on our weekend away a few weeks ago. Don’t know why but I really like this one. Maybe its because she looks very relaxed, I imagine the boys have just gone to bed, or something like that, a quiet moment anyway.

Race for Life

Last weekend was the Race for Life event in Chester in which my wife and her sister ran in memory if there Nannie. I was stood at the finish with our boys and took some shots of different people finishing. I liked this shot because its not just the outfit that’s pink, just thought it looked like a sort of posed shot as well even though I’m quite a distance from her.

Pats 60th

This is a shot from a recent 60th birthday party. In fact it was Pat’s (my stepmum) party, and she is the one singing at the top of her voice in this shot, alongside her brother Steve Raffles who does it for a living, singing that is… Anyway. I wanted to post one of her singing on here as I like the shot for a start because it shows Pat doing her favourite thing in the world.

Naughty Tarts

Well obviously a little play on words there, a marvellous tray of jam tarts, just before my mother in law put them in the oven, had a glass of wine, and promptly forgot about them. Mind you we all did! I still ate some, I like them over done!

Tom

This is one of my cousin Tom from our recent family weekend away in Last of the Summer Wine land. If you’re interested in the processing, mostly done in Lightroom, I think I used the Bleach Greens preset and then did a few more some tweaks on the contrast and curves. Then Noise Ninja’d in Photoshop.

Orangutan

Here’s a shot from Chester Zoo. First time I’ve really tested the high ISO performance. This one was at ISO3200 which is really pushing it, but I think its turned out ok. Also through dirty glass, at least the Orangutan looked in my sort of direction which was cool.
