A different style of portrait from the final day of the Lady of the Butterflies shoot yesterday. Thanks for the wonderful comments on yesterday's portrait, it is one of my favourite all time shots. Yesterday we were mainly inside the old church at Goltho, but this one was taken outside right near the end of the shoot. Another photographer was taking some close-up portraits of Tiffany, and I just happened to notice the complimentary colours behind her. The 200mm lens isolated her from the background and created that nice bokeh.

johnloguk > 22.3.09 - Comfort Zone

When I joined the Dailies just over a year ago one of my stated goals was to "get out of my landscape comfort zone". There have been times when I've retreated deeply into my comfort zone, but this weekend hasn't been one of them. I've been working as a stills photographer on this project  http://www.theladyofshalott.co.uk/index.html  and today was the last big film shoot. My main role was to take individual shots of the actors for their portfolios, but I also took a lot of candids and general shots to record the event. 

All will be revealed in late May when the film is launched, but until then the imagery and style of the film is being closely managed. I can honestly say that I've never worked with such a wonderful bunch of talented individuals, and the whole experience has been magical. Unfortunately, I now have to process so many photos that I'll be AWOL from the Dailies again for another day or so. I know you'll be patient with me, and I hope this photo will maintain your interest until I can reveal a bit more :)

I get very self-conscious taking shots like this, especially in the climate of madness that exists in the UK around public photography at the moment. Trainspotters have been banned from train stations just in case they could be terrorists, and anyone with a camera in a public place must be a paedophile! There have been several cases of over zealous police officers confiscating cameras, and the public are being fed paranoid fears by the tabloid media. But anyway, I risked it for two shots, even if they were at 200mm and the camera wasn't out for long. Of course, anyone watching me would have thought that was even more suspicious, so you can't win :)

You might not see much of me later. Wimbledon and the first semi-final of Euro 2008 on the TV. What is a sports loving boy to do?
