Week 35 – BUBBLE SPLASH
BUBBLE SPLASH
Good day to you all its the bank holiday and the sun is shining Yaah!! I hope you are all enjoying your time off and doing something fab? OK as for me the long wait is over and I am a converted man! the new camera is in my possession and it’s a beautiful Canon EOS 7D, its an amazing piece of kit and I cannot express enough how chuffed I am! so with that in mind I popped over to Matlock on Saturday for a quick walk with my brother and his girlfriend so as to snap a few pictures and followed that up with a brief visit to the National water sports centre yesterday and I again can say that I am staggered at this cameras performance with its bundled kit lens the images are crisp sharp and colourful, and this is without really delving into the Miriam of features its can offer me if I tweak the settings, so this weeks shot has not been touched at all apart from cropping and I hope you will agree that the image is awesome quality? well I like it, OK guys have a great week and thanks for the feed back as always, all the best from your newly converted Canon EOS User Jurgen.
Week 34 – LEFT TO ROT
LEFT TO ROT
Hi everyone, well firstly good news my Dad is on the mend so that’s great! news, well I have not had chance to get out and about as last week saw the sale of all my Sony camera gear and thus I am having to go back to older images again this week, so here is this weeks image taken from my massive collection of pictures from my trip to Scotland’s Glencoe earlier in the year, this old bike just makes for a photographers dream as we saw it stood up against this old shack so I just couldn’t resist! I have spent a little time on this and I believe I have cropped and adjusted the tone curve within Lightroom to give what I feel to be a slightly high contrast and punchy image? but hey you are the critics and I am simply the photographer. let me know what you think and please do all have a great week. I myself will be looking forward to getting my new camera at the end of this week Yaah!! take care guys and thanks again for revisiting, Jurgen.

Week 33 – THE HORSE IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS
THE HORSE IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS
Hello everyone it was a bit of a strange week in that all seemed to go very well and then a seriously bad family news on Friday followed by a little bit of a strange and sad weekend, all seems to be OK at the moment and before you know it I’m back at work. this weekend also See’s the sale of all my Sony camera gear as I head into a new venture now turning to Canon or Nikon, I haven’t quite made my mind up as yet but it’s looking a little more likely to be Canon? so with that in mind I am this week reverting to old stock photo’s and this offering comes straight from the horses ass and was taken from my visit to the West Midlands Safari Park. it’s an image I had seen done in a book called “Understanding Exposure” by Bryan Peterson and i liked it so I hope I have recreated just right with a little sharpening and tonal changes I truly believe this would look great on canvas. well onto the exciting week ahead as I still fumble around trying to decide what camera to purchase next, but at the same time I am very excited and hope to continue to bring you all great images in the coming months.my thoughts are with my Dad and his immediate family this weekend and I hope that he gets better soon best wishes to you all and thanks for returning, Jurgen.
Week 32 – THE CARVING IS ON THE WALL
THE CARVING IS ON THE WALL
Welcome back all, well a few things have happened this week but the main one being that I am thinking of changing my brand of camera which is in itself a huge decision so I have several items up for sale on eBay and Amazon market place if anyone is interested? There are a few reasons for changing / upgrading but now I have to sift through the mind field that is choosing what Brand and model of camera to get. None the less there is still a weekly blog shot and this week’s offering comes from Lincoln Cathedral when myself and my good friend Andrew visited last week. I thought it looked quite Arty once cropped and a filter applied and then I slightly sharpened the image and played a little with the tone curve to better show the dark and shadow areas. I do hope you like it and remember to leave your feed-back and any ideas of subject matter you would like to see in the future once I have decided on which new camera to go for? all the best everyone and thank you so much for returning and taking the time to look at my images I do believe it has helped me so very much over the past months. Take care, Jurgen
Week 31 – TOP GUN
TOP GUN
Well what a week I have had after last weekend I finished this week’s holiday with my 40th birthday party BBQ on Saturday night so thanks to everyone for coming and a big thanks to my Brother & Sister for organising it, so with all this I’m afraid there was no time for photography this weekend so this week’s image comes from last Sundays visit to the Farnborough Air Show now this picture has been cropped quite a lot so as to better fill the frame and with a touch of sharpening and colour adjustment we are left with this awesome! Image I hope you like it and please do leave your feed-back as usual I could do with a few ideas’ for photographic subject matter so if you can think of anything that you would like to see then please let me know ok. Many thanks everyone have a great week, Jurgen
