The Busy "XMAS" week.

Always, every year, there is the busy Xmas week where everyone wants something done in time for Christmas but forgets that the post moves at a snails pace - putting more pressure on the photographer to deliver the expected quality in a fraction of the time!  The past week has seen me take baby Xmas photos,a few engagement ones and anything else that i've promised to do whilst pissed in the pub.  It seems that people know when to corner me?

Porthleven @ Night Panorama

I've not done much landscape photography recently mainly due to the crappy weather but last night the sky was clear (ish) and there was little wind so i dragged the GF out to shoot a panorama. 30 Minutes and 20 odd photos later i was done. The final image consisted of 14 separate photographs manually stitched together in photoshop. I initially thought that I would let PS handle the stitching but quickly realised that it didn't do a very good job - often the case when there are clouds or water involved! Originally there were phone wires running right across the photo from left to right which again makes it more difficult. 8 hours and gallons of coffee later it was finished. 15024px x 3653px 36.86MB JPEG

So i decided to do a few of Bex in the studio this week and also some natural light shots. Make up and hair by the very talented Madame Tashy.

Instead of revising for exams i decided to fiddle with some photos i had lying around ;)

Something different this week, firstly low key and secondly a male model, he's actually a mate of mine that after seeing the pictures of his sister that i did the week before and not wanting to be outdone, decided on stepping in front of the camera himself.

At the beach

A few at the beach this week with a model that i haven't worked with for a while.  She was the first girl i photographed when i started years ago and it was good to shoot her again.  There were a lot of male kayakers in the area just after we started shooting, probable the best stretch of water for that sort of activity eh?
