A little bit of Strobist

I had a very enjoyable evening shooting with flash on location this week. This was a first for me and I was grateful to the fellow members of Talk Photography who joined me at Baconsthorpe Castle, and of course the 3 models (Clare, Natasha & Bettina) for putting up with my indecision. I learnt lots, not sure the girls did though!
Anyway some shots from the evening below.(more on my Flickr)

A trip to the City

A trip into Norwich is always a good excuse to take the camera, sometimes I even take some photographs. Two pictures presented themselves on my last trip. Firstly this superb Vespa, the Mods vehicle of choice, and this one just had to be photographed. I've desaturated the image to lose the rather busy background.

Secondly some clever Shop Art, courtesy of John Scarratt, this is called Batteries Included. This is a great idea to give otherwise empty shops some life and colour, mainly, it would appear, in the Westlegate area of Norwich. You can see more Johns work on his blog

Siyaya Arts

Had the privilege of watching these guys performing in Norwich last weekend. They drew a large and appreciative crowd. There's something perfect about African music on a warm spring day, it lifts the spirits.
