johnloguk > 14.02.10 - Profile 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 > 2.6.09 - Look what they did to my photos :) Apologies for a very self indulgent Daily, but I was so excited to get these photos today I just had to share them. I think I've said before that I don't seem to get "ordinary" photographic assignments like babies and weddings, but I do get my photos on the side of big trucks! I didn't take these photos, I've not seen the truck in the flesh yet, but I hope to catch up with it soon.
johnloguk > 25.02.10 - Night on the Town At the end of a long hard day, I often find the best way to wind down is to go for a stroll with my camera. This is the latest chapter in my mission to get everyone out taking photographs at night. Lights and shadows never look better than at night, the magic really starts at dusk. Squat down low for a different perspective, and brace your body to make an impromptu tripod to deal with the slow shutter speeds. Here endeth the lesson, for now :)
johnloguk > 2.8.09 - After the Storm (2 shot photomerge panorama) Well it rained, and rained, and rained, but then this happened! I could have taken a similar shot from my window, the whole sky was a mass of changing colour, but I'm glad I went for a drive to get this view. It is only a mile away, if that, the Cathedral is on the left and the small country lane on the right. The lane was flooded in places, and that gave a very different perspective on the sunset, as you can see here http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/4053411_yY5Qg#608061724_cB9cS This was taken from almost exactly the same spot as this http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/gallery/7240041_kZdsG#604566139_X7ehW What a difference a few days make!
johnloguk > 23.5.09 - Home Planet I've made a few planets over the last year, but none for a while. I think every photographer should try at least one, it brings out the megalomaniac in you :) This is from the 4 shot panorama I made the other day, an extended version of my Daily from 2 days ago. For a great tutorial on how to make your own planet go to; http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/create-your-own-panorama-planets/ I've had the kids over today so not had time to do much else. I'll try to play catch up again on the Dailies tomorrow. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my pics over the last couple of days, they are most appreciated.
johnloguk > 5.10.08 Swanholme Lakes Sunset No big colours in the sky last night but it was still a beautiful sunset. I went down to Hartsholme Park and Swanholme Lakes hoping to get some Autumn colour in the late afternoon light, and got this instead. Water literally adds another dimension to sunsets, with the cool breeze creating some nice ripples to add to the reflections. There aren't many places with a clear view across the Lakes, but I think the trees and foliage add something to this shot anyway. It is hard to believe that this place is in the middle of a City. At dusk the birdsong almost drowns out the noise of distant traffic. There were quite a few people around, walking the dog, jogging, or just taking in the quietness at the end of the day. My internet connection was hopeless over the weekend, so I hardly got to comment on the Dailies. I'll add some more shots from last night if the connection holds up this morning. Uploaded some more shots here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053411_yY5Qg#387836374_7zD84
johnloguk > 18.2.09 - Short Cut I'd hate anyone to think that Lincoln was just beautiful old historic buildings, we have some dirty old back alleyways too! Joking apart, these hidden back-ways probably have a fascinating history too, if only someone would research them, maybe a photographic project for me one day? This alley is right in the middle of town, and a popular short cut for anyone trying to avoid the crowds on the High Street. I'm trying to build up a portfolio of these more hidden places, and I was really lucky to catch this guy rushing through in his lunch hour. Then indecision took hold of me again. The original image wasn't as punchy as I'd hoped, so I played around a bit in PP, then decided to put them all together like this. I quite like the effect, I hope you do too :) The original straight out of camera is on the left. Centre is my watercolour treatment. On the right is a B&W conversion applied over the watercolour. Check the "map this" feature if you want to see where this is
johnloguk > 4.3.09 - Walk Today is cool and blustery, but last night's rain has gone. I snatched a quick walk round the Arboretum in between appointments this lunchtime, loads of photos of flowers, fountains, dancing waters etc. But this shot of a little boy out walking with his Daddy caught my eye as a bit more special. I added the radial blur filter to draw the eye in a bit more and increase the tunnel effect of the trees. I'll no doubt add some of the other shots to the Arboretum gallery later, but for now it's back out to work. But before that - I need to put a few minds to rest about yesterday's Daily from the car. I promise that I was parked at the time, even I don't drive one handed at night through narrow residential streets in the rain while taking photos :)
johnloguk > 3.6.09 - Silence is Golden It's been a long time since I had a sunset for my Daily, I hope it has been worth the wait. I originally went out for a walk along the river and got some nice wildflower shots, but this presented itself on the way home. I don't like having the sun in the frame, it can make the image noisy, fill it with flare and doesn't do wonders for the eyes, but I hope it adds to the image here. This view of Lincoln Cathedral is from the south-east, with the observatory tower of the Castle on the extreme left of the shot. There weren't many clouds in the sky, but there was a low haze that gave this wonderful golden glow. A group of birds flew over at just the right time too. I've had lousy hay fever the last couple of days, which has made staring at a computer screen pretty painful, so apologies if I didn't comment on your pics. Thanks for all the kind words on my truck pics and postcards, you are a wonderful bunch of people :)
