Week 14 – JOHN ROCKLIFFE
JOHN ROCKLIFFE
Hey there everyone week 14 and what a busy week I can tell you, I am so very tired but still so very excited all at the same time.
So this weekend really did start on Friday night as me and my friend Anthony Clay went to snap a few shots of John Rockliffe a up and coming music song writer / performer so armed with our cameras and a whole load of lighting kit we simply headed off to his house and used his back garden to capture some great images! so here is this weeks blog shot presented in B&W i hope you all like it and there are a few more images from this shoot on my Facebook Photography page if you want to take a look?

Saturday I went on a shoot with Laura my friend from work and we had a few snaps around town and then into Bestwood Country Park, we where accompanied by my great! friend Charlie who was my Photographic aid for the day and together we all had a great day (And Cheese Cake Yummy!) again there are some of the images from this shoot on my Facebook page (See above link)
Sunday I went to see the infamous Bodyline photographic studio in Long Eaton and wow what a great place! I got to meet a few people who I had only ever spoken to on Facebook so that was cool and invaluable to me from a networking point of view, I didn’t take many shots at all unfortunately being new and a little unsure but I am looking to book some studio time very soon! as I have to get into the swing of it sooner rather than later and will be back at Bodyline on 1st May to do a promotional shoot for Kickstart Magazine, so I am very excited about that for sure!
Ok I will stop rambling now, as it seems I have so very much more to talk about these days, and the plan for this week is a little more relaxed but the weekend will be full of photography again yaah! I hope you like the images and I will see you all back here again next week take care one and all, 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
Week 30 – PET SHOP BOYS

PET SHOP BOYS
Hello everyone and what a weekend I have had!! As, Sunday saw me hit the ripe old age of 40!. It all started on Friday as I went out for a meal with some of my closest friends followed by attending the Splendour event at Nottingham’s Wollaton Park on Saturday which was Ace! and this is where this week’s shot comes from with the Pet Shop Boys Headlining the event, not much editing on this one just a little sharpening and cropping and we were done. So then onto Sunday my actual birthday, I went with friends to the Farnborough Air Show which was fantastic so all in all a fabulous weekend, thanks to all of my friends and family for making it happen and all that leaves me to do now is sift through well over 2000 images and watch this space for more pictures from this weekend. Many thanks for all your comments and i hope you like this week’s offering? Take care one and all. Jurgen.
Week 29 – THE CALL OF DUTY

THE CALL OF DUTY
Hi there all welcome back to not only my weekly photo blog but to my new website, I do hope you like it and please bear with me as there is still work on-going wit the site but please enjoy looking around the images and remember to keep your comments coming back to me. This week’s image comes from the R.A.F Waddington air show that I went to a couple of weeks ago. This chap along with many others was dress in original German military attire and with the help of Adobe Lightroom I have simply sharpened it a little and applied this aged filter for effect, I hope you like it. well I have a busy weekend lined up for this coming week as it’s my birthday and I celebrate by going to the Splendour party in the park in Nottingham 24th and yet another air show at Farnborough on my birthday Sunday, what a great way to celebrate my 40th Birthday! Ok everyone thanks for revisiting the blog and the new site, take care and have a great week Jurgen.
Week 28 – POWER & PANACHE OF YESTERYEAR
POWER & PANACHE OF YESTERYEAR
Week 28 – Hi there everyone I trust you are not all dying from heat exhaustion? What a hot weekend it truly has been, well not much photography completed this weekend due to more I.T issues AGAIN! (All be it I cannot be held responsible for hardware failing I guess?) My server died last week so I have had a rather busy weekend with data recovery and thus have had little time to head out in this scorching weather armed with my camera. This week’s image comes from the 1200 or so shots I took last week at the R.A.F Waddington air show, as I mentioned it was a true learning experience as far as light metering is concerned and I only hope that I have a better photo shoot when I go to the Farnborough air show on the 25th which just happens to be my 40th birthday too (Ouch!) well I do hope you enjoy this beautiful rendition of the sublimely classic Vulcan bomber aircraft in flight? I love the beauty of this aircraft and to think it so very old now too, again just basic processing completed within Adobes Lightroom and viola awesome! Many thanks for revisiting the blog and for all your feed-back guys have a great week Jurgen
