Never Mind the Craic

Posted in Personal on March 31st, 2009 by admin

I sing in a choir called Notorious (see the gallery on the website that is call “Notorious” for all the flyers I have shot to promo our gigs over the last few years) and spent last Sunday singing three gigs in three Irish pubs around Digbeth.  This was shot in the last pub The Spotted Dog by a member of the audience that turned out to be posting for www.digbeth.org, you can just about see me under the picture on the chimney breast-I’m the one with the red hair!

February is the new summer again!

Posted in Personal on March 30th, 2009 by admin

Well it’s taken me ages but I am finally getting round to posting images from a break to Cornwall this Feb.  Again we were very very lucky with the weather as per the previous year when we spent a week in Malham Yorkshire, when we found ourselves out on the mountain bikes in shorts!

These images from Malham were all shot on my my then new Canon G9, which is a great little 12 mega pix camera and is just the job for keeping in the pocket just in case!  Theses are all raw file images (think of a raw file as a digital negative waiting to be told what colour balance it should be or where the blacks should be set) which gives a good deal of latitude for tweaking post production, not a feature that’s all that common on compacts.

This is a tester to see if I can now blog from my iPhone using this new app. Fingers crossed it works!
