Yet another day finds me at Bristol dockside during my lunch hour. I wish there more places with easy walking distance of my office. The weather was miserable today. It was grey and rainy, so here are a couple of black and white pictures to match.

Review – Tamron 70-300mm lens
Recently I bought a Canon EOS 450D from Jessops. They were running a bundle deal, and it came with a Canon 18-55mm lens and a Tamron 70-300mm lens. The long zoom was quite an important aspect to me, since I had upgraded from a Fuji S9600, with a huge range in focal lengths. I’ve nowContinue reading “Review – Tamron 70-300mm lens”
Teeny tiny
This week’s Photo Challenge is called What is it?. The idea is to take an extreme close up of something, so it’s hard to tell what it is. I’m still getting to grips with my new Canon 450D, but I bought a set of macro extension tubes and I’ve been experimenting. I may or mayContinue reading “Teeny tiny”
Hasn’t he grown?
Back in November, I introduced you to my new cousin Joshua. I saw him again this weekend, and he’s grown such a huge amount! Needless to say I took millions of photos, but this one was my favourite. That’s not his mum in the picture; it’s my mum! Quite a fitting image for Mothering Sunday.

A while back, my younger brother Edmund wanted a photo blog, just like his big brother’s 🙂 I set him up with a free subdomain from No-IP. The address used to be edmund.servepics.com. I couldn’t fault the service from No-IP, but unfortunately free domains don’t only attract impoverished teenage photographers. They attract spammers and phishers,Continue reading “servepics.com”
Some self portraits
Over the last few months I’ve amassed quite a bit of photographic lighting equipment but I don’t often get the chance to play with it. Hana was out this evening, so I moved all the furniture aside and turned my kitchen/living area into a studio. (You can see from the last shot on this pageContinue reading “Some self portraits”
Springtime in Bristol
From the title, you were probably expecting some shots of nature. But no – these photos are taken from a couple of walks around Bristol docks with Paul and Ian. This week has been the first sunny week since last year and it was really good weather for taking photos on film. As this filmContinue reading “Springtime in Bristol”
Plug & Play
This week’s Photo Challenge theme was Plug & Play. This is a fairly uninspired shot, but I wanted to test out my new camera – a Canon 450D. I tried to aim for a slightly unusual subject, as part of the Challenge this week is to avoid lots of similar entries by doing something unpredictable.Continue reading “Plug & Play”
Shots of Bristol
This week I shot another roll of black & white film in my SLR. Last night I developed it, and tonight I’ve scanned and uploaded the highlights for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately I think I overdeveloped the film a little, so some of the brighter areas are burnt out. Never mind. First of all, hereContinue reading “Shots of Bristol”
