Missing in action

As most of you are aware we moved house recently so we've both been pretty snowed under with moving, decorating and unpacking. The move went exceptionally smoothly, largely thanks to all the help and hard work of family and friends so thank you all.

I've a confession to make that some of the shots I've taken recently weren't shot on the actual day they were supposed to have been taken. However it's only a handful of shots and there is still plenty of good material taken on the right days.

Hopefully most of the work should be posted up here by the end of today so keep an eye out for the long overdue update.

I was originally going to use this for my photo of the day however I came up with something better so I didn't bother. I've decided to upload the shot though as everybody with a camera in Leeds ends up taking a shot of BridgeWater place (the tallest building in Leeds) at some point.

I took this shot a while back on the Leeds Flickr September speed shoot and a lot of people seem to like it so I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

At Thursday night's flickr meet I was chatting to fellow group member,
Zenith Phuong who decided to take a few shots of me. I'm not normally one for photos of myself but I really like this.

Check out Zen's work it's brilliant.

I took this shot without a tripod and I'm quite pleased with results. Hopefully the shot conveys the beauty of the architecture on the university campus.

I found this old shot I took at Easter on the beach at Elie and it suddenly struck me how good this would looked cropped. I've shopped with a crop and few tweaks and am very pleased with results.

We're looking forward to visiting this part of the world again in November, I can't wait to take more photos.

Notoriety

This week I've been lucky enough to be featured on the blogs of both a successful writer and a fellow photographer.

Leeds based and all round good bloke Steve Mosby dedicated a post on Monday to my photography and the new blog project. Steve is the author of 3 superb crime novels with a 4th in the pipeline, I highly recommend reading his work as well as his blog. Steve's books encompass the crime genre with cracking sense of social satire and sci-fi futurism (is that a word).

Later on that same day, Eric Tan identified himself as the man in a great candid I caught at the recent West Indian Carnival.

Eric blogged the shot along with his brilliant set of the carnival and kindly added some links to my sites.

Cheers for the mentions guys.

This is one of a series of shots taken on the Royal Mile during the 2007 Edinburgh Festival. The guys on the stilts were part of a Polish Theatre company promoting their production of Macbeth. We were unable to attend this show but friends did, apparently it was a real spectacle involving stilt walkers motor bikes and fire breathers.

Day of rest?

Unfortunately I had to work this Sunday, so no extra sleep for me. It rained while I was at work, at least it was lovely and sunny when I left.
