Yes, it’s that time of year, put away the thermal gloves and bring on the vented lightweight ones. A close-up with iPhone 4S, slightly sharpened and motion blur effect with Photoshop. I haven’t quite mastered taking photos at speed riding a motorbike with one hand!

Lonely Gnome
I love this little feller, he stood so still while I took his photo. Not sure I have his best angle but he looks pretty good to me. It was a gloomy day, lighting wasn’t very good so, you guessed it, a little post fiddling with Aperture this time, not Continue Reading

Man Bag
The iPad is being accused as the cause for the current proliferation of man bags. This closeup taken with an iPhone 4S, no digital manipulation at all.
