NEW IMAGES, NEW SHOOTS

As fast as I make improvements to the layout of the Kevin Leighton Photography website my trusted band of advisers give me more to do.

I've read time and time again that it's the reader that should dictate the content, services, layout, etc offered by a website or blog but this is the first time I've managed to put the theory into action.

Every time I think I've got it about right I sit back, smile and say .. 'OK so what about that' to which the response is .. 'well you could do this and you should really do that' ... which in times past I would have found  annoying to say the least but now I'm taking it all on board, and if I say so myself, it's really starting to come together.

New images from the The George At Backwell Summer Garden Party have been uploaded, copy is in draft for my services page and I'm in contact with two bands about the possibility of doing some shoots with them.

It's all coming together .. more soon ..

Linking Issues and My Tuesday Image - SST 08/03

Linking Problem

Firstly I'd like to thank Paula White from White Social Media for letting me know about a problem with a link on last weeks SST post. I'd linked to my images a different way and that led to a problem when trying to comment via Picasaweb.

It's always good to receive feedback of whatever kind so that I can continue to improve on my postings. Thanks Paula.

My Tuesday Image

With Spring well and truly on the way in the UK I remembered this image from a set I took a couple of years ago. Our back garden had been remodelled the previous year and this was it's first Spring in it's new design. Channel 4 TV had suggested they might do a piece from the garden as a part of one of those house make over shows. We worked like mad to get the garden looking great over the course of a day only to hear nothing more from them. Never mind! it made for a great photo set.

Spring is nearly here! Come in and smell the flowers...... Sweet Shot Tuesday 28/02

I noticed at the weekend that the early spring flowers such as the snow-drops were making way for not only the crocuses but the daffodils as well.

After some really wet and dismal days I've been craving some sun, not only for myself but to give me some decent light with which to capture the flowers. I love it when I can get close up and capture the colours.

From Thoughts And Things

Camera: Panasonic
Model: DMC-FZ8
ISO: 100
Exposure: 1/1000 sec
Aperture: 2.8
Focal Length: 6mm

In between showers the sun came out and I cranked the camera to f2.8, the maximum it will go to and decided to get down with the daffs. As always I was looking for an angle and on this case my camera was virtually on the ground angled back up.

Because I couldn't see what I was shooting in the viewfinder or on the screen the results were a bit mixed but I love the Bokeh effect of the trees behind the daffs as well as the colours and the raindrops on the heads.

Still at f2.8 I captured this other flower head I hovered over it and managed to diffuse everything else around it.
