Pogo

2009-02-08T22:14:00.002Z

I'm a big fan of polaroid cameras. With film getting harder to get I thought I'd have a look at their pogo printer. Managed to get one from ebay for £22, bargain, they normally go for about £50 (they retail at £99). It came with 60 extra prints too.
I've used pictbridge from my Nikon, have to convert the .nef to .jpg to print, which works fine. I've also used bluetooth from mobile. My neice and nephew loved it!
Print quality is so-so, but it is a great aid for my diary and moleskine diy travel guides.

Paul Gilbert pics

2009-01-17T16:23:00.006Z

Managed to get select my favourite pics from Paul Gilbert's gig at JB's in Dudley.
In case you didn't know, Paul Gilbert was the guitarist for 'Mr Big' off the 90's and also the lesser known Racer X. It was an awesome gig and it's a great venue.
I like the smaller venue, Rock City in Nottingham, down stairs at the City Hall in Sheffield, and now JB's in Dudley. You get much closer to the artist and it's a far more intimate experience. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get my camera in, we'd been to a classic car show beforehand - don't ask about the pics from there!- and I didn't want to leave my camera in the car either. I had my gear in a crumpler bag, just the body and 2 lenses (Nikon D40 with 18-55mm kit and 55-200mm Sigma lense - which I love). No hassle at all though, straight in. Met another guy there photographing too.
I didn't want to get in anyone's way, so I stood at the back of the moshpit which was only about 3 rows back and actually at the front on the right. anyway enough waffle check the rest of the pics on my picasa site.

The colours on Darren and Sarah's wedding in Zante photos are fantastic and they wanted a few of them converted to black and white or sepia.
I cropped a couple and 1 I did into a 1970's style. I'm going to post the before and after over the next couple of posts, check 'em out and see what you think.

Had a great time last week in Zakynthos. My wife plans weddings in Zante (The Bridal Consultant) so we took the opportunity to catch up with our wedding planner.
Whilst we were there I got the opprtunity to take some pics of a wedding at he Alexandra Beach Hotel.

Had a great day on Saturday with Candy of Candy Cakes in Chesterfield. I was there to take some shots of wedding cakes Candy has been preparing for a series of wedding fayres.
There were 7 fantastic cakes which photographed very well. I was there for most of the day and have finally managed to whittle down the shots.
