Hi and a sorry to you all, not had time to keep the blog up to date of late, so unfortunately for now, will be putting it on hold, this is only for awhile, once I get the spare time again, will start re-using and posting to it, but for now Sorry :)
Well, I have made it back from Scotland, and had a long week of nights at work, here is the first update from the trip, while there I had a trip to the Scottish Deer Centre, was a great day out, meet a friend up there, who works with the park as a Photographer, he took me round the park, and gave me some privileged access, tacking me in with some of the Deer, and also in with Ginge the Female Fox, must say this was a great experience, and felt so privileged to be so near to this great animal, she showed me no fear at all, but if anyone approached the fence from out side she was off, lost track...
Well as promised, a bigger update for you, have been so busy keeping on top of things has not been easy, have had 2 Studio shoots and a location shoot of late, the first Studio shoot was with Syren Sexton on 12th May, was my first time working with Syren, but was good working with her, worked from clothed to nude, but one of the main things I worked on was a strip sequence, which I then made into a panoramic format, this resulted in quite a large file as I am sure you can imagine :mrgreen: .
From there it was a long weekend Location Shoot in Wales, worked with 4 models over the weekend, 2 I have...
Just a quick one to say I haven't forgotten you all, will be doing some updates soon, just had a hectic month and not much time to spare, have some studio shoots to post as-well as a location shoot in Wales, will try to get something posted over the weekend (time permitting).
Well was Cotswold Wildlife Park again today, was an unplanned visit after I had what could only be called a Bad Photography Day there on Monday (3 Shots from the day that I anywhere near liked), today was much better though, spent most of the time there today watching the Meerkats and their young (the Meerkittens :mrgreen:), they are so cute to watch, and the adult Meerkats are still going over the wall at every opportunity :mrgreen:, some of the shots from today will be going in the Gallery.
Well was back at Cotswold again, today for me was not the best though, was struggling with the light (way to strong), getting a good exposure was very, very difficult and to make matters worse, it was fooling me when I looked at the LCD, every shot looked way under exposed, came very close to deleting every shot :sad:, so glad I didn't though, as when I found some shade and checked them, they looked way better :mrgreen:
Had a mini meet at Nicki's farm today, main aim of the day, watching the Red Kites, and maybe get a shot or two :mrgreen:, managed to get a few that I am happy with, but still need to get a shot that I would call nailed, still that's more reason to go back :mrgreen:.
Had a shoot with Samantha today, enjoyed the time, worked against a white background this time, tried various outfits etc. including using the rope again, also used the studios Sexy School Girl costume :mrgreen: , overall it was a great shoot with Samantha, have put some of the shots in the galleries.
Been to Cotswold's today, was fighting some real strong light, made shooting conditions very hard, the bonus though was that the babies are thriving, the Siamangs, Purple-faced Langur, Jaguarundi and the Ring Tail Lemurs all have young ones :mrgreen: , managed some shots, but not of the baby Ring Tail (mum was keeping it well hidden), looking forward to getting back there for more chances with the babies.
Was in the Studio again today, was a last minute booking as was not sure if I would be off, was my first time working with Hayley, but had wanted to work with her for a while, and must say wasn't disappointed, Hayley was very easy to work with, very friendly and good at what she does, had some interesting lighting to do on some of the shots, was working on a black background and Hayley was wearing a black cat suit, think I managed it though as like the results.
