		<description><![CDATA[About a week ago I fancied trying something a little different with my photography so I picked up an Infrared filter to see what I could come up with.

The filter has to block all visible light which means it's very thick and therefore requires some very long exposures (I was averaging 30 seconds on an uncomfortably bright day). 

Add to this the fact that infrared focuses at a different point from visible light and well... not my sharpest images.

Still, I like the slightly ethereal effect you get from using such a slow shutter speed and the way that foliage becomes much more reflective.

If it ever stops raining I'll try some more experiments to see how different surfaces vary under different kinds of light.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lodge Farm to Chickengrove Bottom along the Roman Road through Venditch Chase, across the road into Martin Down, up Grim's Ditch, slither and slide down to Martin. Then traipse back up the hill to wander back home past Bockerly Ditch. 

Twelve miles of gloopy, oozing, squelchy mud... glorious mud. 

Clean your boots because it will set like concrete.

		<description><![CDATA[I've been putting off writing this epilogue to the year long enough. 

Seeing as I had decided to round off 2010 by catching up on all those little jobs and annoyances, I wrote most of this entry on New Year's Eve. 

That's the kind of crazy life I lead…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

John Lennon, <i>Beautiful Boy</i>

Where does the time go?

These photos were taken in October but they might as well have been shot last week (the weather was the same after all..).

I'm about to switch over to Adobe Lightroom from iPhoto and I'm hoping the increased level of organisation will help me be a bit more productive.

I suppose updating this blog more than once in a blue moon would be as good a start as any.

P.S.
Speaking of Mr Lennon, <a href="http://beta.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00szzlw/Classic_Albums_John_Lennon_Plastic_Ono_Band/" "_blank" >this</a> is definitely worth a watch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently picked up a Nikon FE body on eBay and shot film seriously for the first time in years. These photos are from the first test roll I ran through the camera to check it was still working and to see if I could remember what all the fuss is about.

Fair enough, I am convinced, when it comes to black and white at least. 

There are a lot of people out there who hate digital black and white because it's so smooth because of the lack of grain but that is exactly why I like it. I love being about to really crank up the contrast without having to worry about losing detail, fuzzy shadows or sullying the bokeh.

These images are different. That punchy contrast might be unavailable but they have a charm of their own that current digital cameras can't seem to capture. 

There is a delicacy of touch, these are sketches in 2H compared to the 6B of digital. ]]></description>

So here we are: Nothing exciting, just some test shots from my new Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 Series E straight out of the camera.

I've also been playing with a new Plugin, click the photos to see what happens.]]></description>
