Recent Portraits

These are some of the images taken at the demos at local Camera Clubs

My Recent Talks on Portrait Lighting.

I did a couple of talks recently, one at Newtownards Camera Club and one in my own club Bangor & North Down CC.

Both talks were on Portraiture and lighting, using whatever lights were available and also using my Nikon sb800 and sb900 fired via the commander mode in the camera. And also using a Metz flash triggered by the other two.

Photos will be posted tomorrow night.

I've been away from this blog for far too long

I know I have a couple of friends who do actually look at this blog, so thank you.

I have been busy on other projects and have been finding the time more difficult. I will try to do better. I am in the process of building 2 new websites, one for my Portraits and one for my Large Canvas Art prints. I am using Wordpress and I am slowly getting there. The first website will be the Canvas Art one. But trying to sort out all the SEO stuff etc. takes ages.

Tonight in my local Camera club I had arranged for 3 speakers to come and give a talk, they are doing a tour round Ireland and came to Bangor & North Down CC first. They are Roy Elwood, Vince Rooker and Arnold Hubber, 3 great speakers and photographers all showing different styles of work. Roy is well known for his nude images and they do not disappoint, you can buy his books from Blurb.com.

Vince Rooker showed some wonderful Colour landscapes from the many places he has visited. And Arnold Hubber entertained us and showed us his passion for infra-red photography, from using film to the present day using a converted Nikon D70 camera. Beautiful work by all three masters.
