Acorn Antiques - The Show



Following the publicity photos for Acorn Antiques The Musical I went along to take some photos for the dress rehearsal.  I couldn't resist going back later in the week to see the show without a camera in the way!  It was a great evening and a great show.

Buttershaw Youth Centre 'Our Shout'

I took some photos at a Save the Children event near Bradford this week.  During the event I noticed that everyone involved in running the event had a bright red t-shirt on, and down the side of the the hall were thick, black curtains.  With a bit of table moving, a borrowed Save the Children banner, and an enthusiastic group of subjects we got an image which sums up the energy and enthusiasm of the centre.  Group shots bring so much opportunity for things to go wrong, but when they go right they are very rewarding!  Of course, there's still room for improvement - one guy at right back is a little bit lost, and I don't like the shadow far right - but on the whole, I think it's an image they'll like.

International Panorama Awards 2011























I've been meaning to reprocess the Lethem Rodeo montage picture for a while now.  The Epson international panorama competition gave me a good excuse.  It's a slow business combining these four frames in photoshop, so it was nice to be given a Bronze Award for the final image.

I also submitted a second image - This strange vertical panorama from Kaiteur Falls.  Seemed like a good opportunity to present something a little different to the judges.  It also got a Bronze Award.

Acorn Antiques the Musical, Huddersfield


























I had a quick photo shoot in Huddersfield with the cast of Acorn Antiques from the Spot On Musical Theatre.  We had the use of a Huddersfield cafe for about an hour whilst they set up for the day and, hopefully, before too many customers arrived.  The hour flew by, but the cast were great - quick to position, happy to wait, and having fun throughout.  I'm looking forward to the next stage of getting some shots at their first dress rehearsal next month.

Naomi & Mark, Surrey
























A busy weekend at the wedding of Naomi and Mark at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey.  A lovely setting for a wedding, though it was a shame that the vines were all bare.
Fantastic spring sunshine and perfect temperatures made this a memorable day.

Jesuits and Friends - Magazine Cover Spring 2011


An old photo from Guyana has found its way to the front cover of the Jesuit supporters magazine 'Jesuits and Friends'.






















I also got the back cover shot too - with this shot of lightning over Kaituer Falls, Guyana.
