New HDR Images from Ogden Water

HDR (high dynamic range) is a photographic technique that is gathering some attention in the industry at present.  For me, there are two sides to HDR; one being the use of the technique generate a well balanced image in terms of the exposure to make a scene appear far closer to how a human eye would see things, and the second being the use of the technique (with software of course) to give a very surreal (some would say fake) look to an image.

All our non-commissioned photographs are available as canvas gallery wraps or mounted prints.  If you are interested in displaying or purchasing our work please contact David on 0774709063.

Our first cover photo

We were recently asked but a magazine called Mumbles if we could provide a Halloween themed photo for there forthcoming edition.  We had nothing suitable on file so we opted to dress up our daughter and head out into the cold night air.  We were chuffed with the photos we got and so were Mumbles who opted to use one as their cover photo.  So here is our first magazine cover.

My Nephews Christening

My little nephew was Christened yesterday and I had the pleasure of taking a few photos on the day.

Latest Photo Shoot With a Gorgeous Baby Boy

Part of our deal with our clients is that we will go to their house to make portraits if need be and this gorgeous couple asked us to do just that.  Their names are (as usual we don't put the names of our client on the web) a secret but this family was wonderful and so hospitable. Their five week old son was a delight and to say these parents were proud would be an extreme undersatement.  So please enjoy a few photos from what, for us and our clients, was a wonderful couple of hours.

Tiresome Weekend and Computer Headaches

So Helen and  I have been ill these last few days, nothing serious but enough to put us out of action. The little one has had a terrible cold too and that has not helped matters.  Yesterday was potentially the worst ever as a parent! The two elser girls were restless and decided they were not going to cooperate with a tired Mummy & Daddy and the baby/toddler was extermely cranky to say the least.

I got a sudden burst of energy and decided I would clean out the computer as the fan was making a horrendous noise, usual the indication that dust has clogged things up a bit.  It sure had! I gave the thing a massive lean out; memory, heatsink and processor out, vacuumed and cleaned.  When back to gether I was pretty pleased with myself, despite my hot sweat, when I siwtched it to hear a small hum rahter than the usual helicopter take-off.  Then came the wo! Helen went on and found that it was running so slow that nothing would open up.  I toook a look, I rebooted and came to the assumption that I had serioulsy dammaged a component suring my clean.

The processsor the the component I suspected as it was running at 100% and killing itself slowly.  What to do? Everything from finding a replacement processor to buying a new computer crossed my mind. One last attempt at fixinf was to re-install Windows.  This wouldn't scare me if I was planning to do it but as it was an impulse task it made me rather nervous.  I was just about to go ahead when I thought, " hang on David you have tried a system restore"! Now surely it was too much of a coincidence that after cleaning out the machine that something else had gone wrong? So I restored the system back a week and BINGO!

So after much panic of the computer and some cross words with myself the problem is sorted.  I've even goone so far as to defragment and clean up my disks today and it's running pretty damn well. And how have I rewarded myself, well I spent and hour and a half ironing whilst my our two big girls have played so wonderfully together and gave myself 5 minutes sat down to write this blog entry!

Bye for now....

P.S. Look out for Helen's triptych photo in the next blog entry

We Love Big Cats

As photographers one of our photographic dreams is to indulge in an African safari and photograph the big game. Of all the animals Africa has to offer it has to be the big cats that interest me the most.

There is just something about them that is majestic and magical; the way they move, hunt, and socialise - it's all so amazing.

Photographing any animal in a zoo or safari park can be just as rewarding though and we are proud members of Chester Zoo where we adore their big cats with almost as much affection as our own domestic felines.
