My Photographs

I tend to quite a lot when I want the shallow DoF to show. My D700 has about 10 mins battery life in live view though so it can be quite difficult!

Thanks for the critique, James. 287 was quite hard to get, I was try to manual focus at first but the live view on my D700 is just atrocious, in the end the auto focus managed to hit the bugs dead on :)
 
I think it was more plants, but very close to the camera.

I liked the light on 294, it was in a big manison in the countryside. Couldn't quite get the perfect shot as the D700 isn't exactly stealthy!
 
Thanks Alex. I take most of my stuff at weekends during golden hour when the light is nice, or blue hour just after. I tend to take a lot all at once because I have quite a commute for work during the week so don't get the time.

Doesn't bother me really. I do use some presets but a lot of the time I use a couple of colour and a mono presets which I've created myself. The last few are my own presets.

Presets are just the start though and lot of them don't do anything you can't do yourself, its just a shortcut. I also use a lot of grad and radial filters and also adjustment brushes in lightroom. The last image had a radial filter around the guy walking do draw the eye to him more.

I'd like to learn more photoshop in the future though as that gives you greater control.

One from a wedding I shot back in November. I was up on the stairs shooting through the bannisters and managed to catch the couple with my flash from distance.

Sun was out at the weekend so the mrs was out planting some flowers while I bothered her with the camera, which she hates :)
