Macro - Blue Damselfly


I think dragonfly and damselfly season is coming to an end. Spent a couple of hours hoping to snap a few but only found this guy.

1/160s f11 ISO400 with bracket mounted SB600 fill flash.

The Magazine Is Out Today!


Ok, so they didn't use my St Anne's Pier picture. But they did print four of my other black and white toned pictures. One of the picture descriptions is incorrect, but never mind!

Just waiting for that printer to arrive... :O)

What Digital Camera Magazine!


Check out the October edition of What Digital Camera Magazine. I'll be in the reader gallery section showing some black and white pictures! I haven't seen it yet, but this is one of the pictures they may choose to publish. Its of St Annes Pier near Blackpool. Taken whilst hoping for a decent sunset. It never arrived so I used a Hoya R72 IR filter to bring out what little detail remained in the sky.

Converted to black and white using channel mixer in PhotoShop. I then toned it and burned-in the edges.
