    Pic of today : Pondering the morning


    pondering the morning, originally uploaded by creativebloke.

    Right well was feeling a bit down about my lack of creativity, so be warned world i have my camera armed with a 50mm now at all times.

    This shot proved the point, i didn't notice the couriers face until i saw it in Aperture. he could just be changing lanes, literally and metaphorically.

    I'm Scared of horses


    I'm Scared of horses, originally uploaded by creativebloke.

    Yes i could have knocked back the sky some more, but i like the nose of the horse, and also the way you find the horses eye's.

    Post was a simple adjust using the 'Auto Enhance' preset in Aperture 3. What wasn't so simple was me teetering on a slippy grassy ledge elbows jammed in hedge, 'bricking it', as I'm not great with horses.

    How I suffer for my art.

    Horses on Hill, in black and white

    Tried a different take on yesterday's image, to see if i can fiddle with the Black and white, i feel the image maybe lacking a lot of contrast., hence this result. Want to see more presets available for Aperture 3 but this will come no doubt. I don't miss the NIK plugins yet...............but experimentation is half the fun i guess.

    cletus on the stairs after a long weekend

    We had a long happy weekend of weddings and family, and kept the 1.4 ef bolted onto the front of the 7D. Love the 1.4, and its really starting to make me enjoy the 7d with the new focusing system, as well as the ability to just knock into video and capture some amazing moments.
