Took some photos of a friend of a friends band tonight. I was there in the crowd to watch, not really to take photos. That's why the angle is a bit shit, stood right in front off the bass player. He was going mental and on numerous occasions I had to dodge the headstock from smacking me in the face. I got a video too, nice HD quality but the sound is a bit shit. 80MB though, so uplaoding it takes ages. Their music is good but they also make a big effort with dressing the stage up. They had a big cross decorated with flowers and lights, lots of lights on drums n stuff and.. some hardcore porn on display on the floor. Weird. But it was pretty cool.

Multiple Exposure (2 frames):

Generic B&W shot:

I didn't bother using flash. Partly because it ruins the whole effect of the lighting but also because I was so close to them! I even turned on manual focus so I didn't light them and the stage up with the red autofocus light on the camera.

We got significant snow here for the first time in ages.

This is a Virginia Beach landmark, the Cavalier Hotel, which opened in 1927. The pics are a bit shit because it was still snowing but it's a beautiful structure.

phone cam
but i liked the sunshine. it's a nice change from all the snow and rain.

also, geese, they didn't see us coming then all of a sudden one of them sticks it's neck up way up high like 'get the fuck away from OUR pond assholes !'
as you know i have a fear of big birds like turkeys, geese, swans etc because of being attacked by a rooster when i was a kid i guess.
but passed them.... and took another pic, that one was still staring with it's creepy long neck.

Edited some more pics i got in Snowdonia. These 2 have been more heavily edited (colour wise) than the other 2:

Been experimenting with long exposures/night stuff. This was a 6 second exposure and during it i ran infront of the camera and fired off a flash gun at myself. You can make out the side of my jacket/arm and a ghostly figure (the legs are most obvious). lol

All of this you can viewer double size HERE!

I bought a polaroid camera off eBay a while ago, never used it. Polaroid stopped making film a while ago, so any left over unused film is really expensive.

But then a new company, Impossible Film, bought an old Polaroid factory and have created their own film. I bought some.

Its kinda cool but expensive. And I have found its a pain in the ass to use. The chemicals on the film are quite 'unstable' so it's hard to get a good image. The temperature has to be between 17-22 degrees, you gotta shield it from light straight away. etc etc. Out of a pack of 8 i wasted my first 3 images, they came out just white. The instructions say this is because its too cold but one of them i took indoors. I dunno. But today, my 4th attempt. I just took it looking out into the garden, i expected to get another white image. BUT...

YES! It finally worked. For some reason the flash went off, and reflected in the window (arghh!!!).

I also took this in wales where my dad lives:
