Muddy building site at night

Friday 18th September 2009 – 09:30

I took this pho­to­graph many years ago around Stafford­shire Uni­ver­sity around 4AM in the eerie night, using a Pen­tax MZ-S, film, and a steady hand on the shut­ter release for a few min­utes on bulb for long expo­sure. I remem­ber when they said dig­i­tal would never be bet­ter than film.

Movie producers on the set

Friday 14th August 2009 – 13:58

I took this pho­to­graph on a movie set out­doors in Hol­ly­wood. I was Pro­duc­tion Designer on a short film called ‘ASK Amer­i­can Ser­ial Killers.’
I like how both the Pro­ducer and Direc­tor in this shot are deep in thought while look­ing at what is hap­pen­ing on the set.
You can find out more about the movie ‘Amer­i­can Serial […]

Star trails in the trailer park

Friday 7th August 2009 – 10:00

This pho­to­graph was taken in a trailer park in Yuma, Arizona.

You can see that the stars in the sky have made trails as the earth moves rel­a­tive to them.
I kept the shut­ter of the cam­era open for a rel­a­tively long period (about 10 min­utes) using a Canon TC-80N3 remote con­trol. This unit has var­i­ous set­tings, such […]

Skyscapers — Mirrored skyscrapers in San Diego

Friday 31st July 2009 – 10:00

I took this pho­to­graph on a drive from Yuma, Ari­zona to San Diego, Cal­i­for­nia. I think these build­ings are quite close the cen­tre of San Diego. I like the dif­fer­ent types of mir­rored win­dows on the build­ing reflect the blue sky — the squares, the seem­ingly per­fectly smooth, and an inter­ac­tion of two squared sets of win­dows mak­ing a zig-zag.

Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM Lens Focusing Problem / High Pitched Noise

Thursday 23rd July 2009 – 21:45

My favourite lens, my Sigma 30mm f1.4, has devel­oped a prob­lem. Fre­quently it does not respond to auto-focusing, and it makes a high-pitched sound almost like it is strug­gling to focus
