Tabletop Play

"Heartache"

Best of 2008

"Lonely Death in a foreign Country"



"Moonstruck"



"Nevermore"


How incredible fast 2008 has gone by. Looking through many of my last years photos, I decided to make a little "Best of" list. First I wanted to select one absolute super dooper best of photo, but quickly realised that this is not possible.

Anyway, I decided to go for three pics now.

Here they are.....

Three very different photos, but all dear to my heart.

SWPP & BPPA Gold Awards & Upgrades December 2008

Having entered a few images last month and not got a Gold award for the first time this year, I have entered 2 again this month and one got the sought after award.

Also I have learnt that one of my Silver winning images was reviewed and got upgraded to a Gold too.

This year was very successful again with a total of 13 Golds, countless Silvers and very few Bronzes. It could have been better, but hey, lets not complain :-)

Here is the Gold of this month and the upgraded one from a few month ago...

Loch More

Last Sunday I had a phantastic time shooting at Loch More, Caithness. The sun was just about to set over this beautiful place, giving the most amazing lightshow. The only draw back was, I disappeared into a boghole which kind of "dampened the whole experience a little" :-)

Roses

I had a little play with some shots of roses tht I shot earlier... Unfortunately I don`t have too much time to do those shots.... I just love them, what do you think?

Night time play

whenever I had the chance to go out in the evening for a little recreational shoot, I took the opportunity. Here are some of my efforts... some taken in freezing cold conditions, but hey, it was so worth it!

A few changes...

well, a few changs have taken place since you have last visited, I am sure you have noticed.

I completely re-designed my website with a new colour scheme. Please come and have a look, a lot of new photos have been added too, so you surely wont miss out in having a little peep.

SWPP Gold awards September 2008

Yesterday morning I have put two last second entries into the monthly SWPP image competition, one for DigiArt and one in the Pictorial section.

Yet again, the photo I hoped would score a Gold, got a Silver and the one I thought, och well, lets see what happens, got the Gold.

And once more, my judgement of my own work was wrong, maybe I should enter more"lets wait and see" photos :-) Nevertheless, I am very pleased with both shots, and thats what counts the most!

Here is the Gold and the Silver...

Night - Time - Play

One of my favourite spots to do dome nightime shots has to be Scrabster harbour. Yesterday evening I went there to try my luck in some blue hour shots while the tide was in.

Here are some of the results...

The trip resulted in me buying a new tripod because some of the shots were quite disappointing due to an old and wobbly tripod :-)
