Busy Busy Busy Rain Rain Rain

November 23, 2009

After a mad busy month(the best this year) I have yet another  busy week ahead, it kicked off today with a couple of photography jobs in Manchester and Liverpool.

I seem to spend all my time driving, dont get me wrong I really enjoy my photography work and I love being busy but driving in weather like we have had today (rain, rain, rain, rain and more bloody rain!!) really takes it out of you. I have spent over 4.5 hours in the car just in and around the Northwest.

More driving to come later on in the week, lets just hope the weather improves. Then a job next week in London on the train, its got to be the best way to travel, I wish all my job could be done on the train.

Hi Everyone, no pictures today just some shameless self promotion. In my on going quest to get social media working for me I have created a Facebook fan page. Not sure how it is going to work but I am hoping this blog will feed into the page. I would really like some more fans,at the moment I only have 16!!! so a few more would be nice. Tell your friends, your family, your work colleagues, anyone, you know it makes sense.

If you are interested here is the link.

Hello again

I have uploaded yet more architectural images to Flickr and a Youtube slideshow for your viewing. This time they are of the Manchester Skyline that I photographed earlier this year.

Hello everyone

I was in Manchester over the weekend and visited the  John Rylands University Library on Deansgate which is really interesting piece of gothic architecture with a modern extension.

This gave me the opportunity to try out my  my new Panasonic Lumix LX3 compact camera.

Great little camera, very convenient, small, lightweight, good wide angle and a F2.0 lens which is very fast. Most importantly  it shoots RAW.

The quality is very good indeed, not upto a DSLR, a bit noisy from ISO400 onwards but good enough for most situations.

Here are some of the photographs

I have just been looking at the inspiring work of photographer Michael Kenna. His work is so calm and peaceful. Lancashire born but now living in Seattle, Michael has worked with the likes of BMW, Audi, Volvo etc, but for me it is his personal work that I find inspiring.

Why not take a look at his work – www.michaelkenna.net
