johnloguk > 7.7.09 - "Darkness on the Edge of Town" I was driving down a small lane just outside town this afternoon when I had to stop and try to capture this view. The sky looks so threatening, but so far has produced little rain, and small shafts of light were illuminating the wheat. I'm really happy how this has turned out as a photo, and it is also very symbolic of the next few weeks for me. There are a lot of storms for me to ride out, wish me luck guys :) Apologies yet again for my rather patchy commenting recently. Most of my spare time is being spent trying to earn money in these difficult days, but I still try to look in and give a few thumbs up. Late Edit; this is pretty much straight out of camera, just an unsharp mask applied and some specks on the sensor cloned out.
johnloguk > 2.3.09 - The Original Newark :) This is for Bill Pador and all the other members of the Dailies who live near "Nork Noo Joyzee". I had a lot of fun yesterday with an afternoon shoot around Newark, Nottinghamshire, revisiting old haunts and finding a few new ones. I'm still wading through the 300+ pics that I took, but hopefully they'll be in a gallery before too long, and I'll link from here. In the meantime, apologies again for being AWOL from commenting, I promise to try and catch up when I get chance. OK the Newark gallery is now up, please feel free to take a leisurely stroll round this pretty little town; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/7492384_Yc3xh#P-1-15

johnloguk > 8.7.08 - Busy Bee. This is another Daily that came about completely by accident. I was driving to meet the kids from school and had a few minutes to spare, so took a little detour to take some photos of some large round hay bales that I'd seen a few days ago. I took a few of them, and a couple can be found here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4518270_XDZuH#328255423_sfE8d Then I noticed a strip of wildflowers along the edge of a field of oilseed rape, right under my nose. I took a few of those too, which can be found here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR#328266774_5HCEd Then this evening there was a bit of a sunset, and a couple of shots can be found here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053411_yY5Qg#328260277_Ybmiv So it was a difficult choice, but I was so pleased at how sharp this little chap came out that he had to be my Daily for today, phew :) PS. and I still haven't got a proper macro lens, this was hand held with my trusty Nikkor 55-200mm, and it was windy.
johnloguk > 9.11.09 - Fog Lights Today has been a beautiful one, fantastic weather, nice sunset, but the fog tonight was an extra surprise. When I came off the squash court at about 9.30pm I was hardly dressed for photography in near freezing fog, but I've been waiting too long for some fog to waste this opportunity. So instead of going home for a hot shower I drove straight to the Cathedral Quarter looking for photo opps! Needless to say I was the only person in shorts!! I got a few good shots of the fog and the golden glow from the Cathedral floodlights, but this one was a real stroke of luck. This is one of my favourite shooting positions, but for 10 minutes I froze waiting for someone to come along and be a "ghost" for me. So I wandered around for a while, and was on my way back to the car when I spotted these two guys heading for my spot. I raced ahead of them (you see the shorts were useful!) and fired 3 quick shots as they approached. One was out of focus, one had lousy comp, but this one turned out OK I think. Straight out of camera, not even a crop, just a touch of in camera sharpening and low light noise reduction. This is a beautiful spot, but when the fog descends it becomes utterly surreal. I'm one photog hoping for more fog this winter :) Thanks for the great response to my model railway shots, you guys blow me away!
johnloguk > 18.11.08 - Beautiful November Who said that November was a miserable wet grey month? Oh yes, it was me :) Today has been magical, the light was as good as any day I can remember, ever. Low angled, pure, sharp, clean, fresh, you get the picture? These images were taken while I was having lunch in a small park near home. I couldn't decide which to use as my Daily, so did this collage instead. But, none of these is my favourite shot from the session, that one is here, enjoy; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053630_nJYqk#419940234_zSKqS It sounds corny, but I'm still buzzing from this session, I am so happy with these images, I wish they all came this easily. Photography is such a powerful medium. I've just posted a new version, with added text, to here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR#419966938_fYrD4
johnloguk > 22.3.09 - Comfort Zone When I joined the Dailies just over a year ago one of my stated goals was to "get out of my landscape comfort zone". There have been times when I've retreated deeply into my comfort zone, but this weekend hasn't been one of them. I've been working as a stills photographer on this project http://www.theladyofshalott.co.uk/index.html and today was the last big film shoot. My main role was to take individual shots of the actors for their portfolios, but I also took a lot of candids and general shots to record the event. All will be revealed in late May when the film is launched, but until then the imagery and style of the film is being closely managed. I can honestly say that I've never worked with such a wonderful bunch of talented individuals, and the whole experience has been magical. Unfortunately, I now have to process so many photos that I'll be AWOL from the Dailies again for another day or so. I know you'll be patient with me, and I hope this photo will maintain your interest until I can reveal a bit more :)
johnloguk > 14.2.09 - All You Need is Love! The Red Arrows doing their thing above Lincoln yesterday afternoon, you gotta love those guys. If I wasn't a member of the Dailies I would almost certainly not had my camera with me to capture this, have a great weekend everyone :)
johnloguk > 17.3.09 - Cheers! Well it had to be done didn't it. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all, and Happy Birthday to me. The beer is Outlaw Brewery's Irish Dry Stout, and a fine pint it is too. Dark chocolate, coffee and bitter malts in a glass. Thanks for all the Birthday wishes and cards, real and virtual, I love you guys (and gals). Oh, before I forget, you do know that St. Patrick was an Englishman doncha ;)
