Little Wins #9

The Phoblographer Magazine – I feel so lucky this year because after a shaky start things seem to be looking up at last!   The ‘little wins tag’ that I set up last year seems to be getting more usage which is great. I just hope that I can keep the momentum going.  It was lovely to see that the Phoblographer has mentioned me again today. Here is a link to my interview.

Torbay Airshow 2023

Cockpit Shots – The beginning of June in Torbay has now become synonymous with the fantastic Torbay Airshow! As usual this year did not disappoint!  Roughly 3 years ago I treated myself to a Sigma 150mm-600mm telephoto lens.  I had partly purchased it so that I could shoot wildlife, but I was also excited to try it out at the Airshow. Last year I was really lucky, I managed to get a number of really photographically sharp ‘cockpit’ shots.  One of them even made the Fotospeed top 4 for the week, which I was  really pleased about.  The fist image (Jet Pitts Sabio image) listed directly below is the one that made the Fotospeed top 4 for the week.     Images from 2023 Below is a gallery of some of my favourite images from this year.  I’ve also added a ‘jazzy’ video which proved useful for social media.     Short Snappy Video for Social Media Below is a short video that I compiled for social media.

MACBA

The Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona – The MACBA was a short 35 minute walk away from the Hotel Barcelona.  Below is a short video of the route showing some of the surroundings.   En Route to the MACBA     Beautiful Light at the MACBA Before launching into a gallery of artworks at the MSCBA, I want to highlight both the beautiful architecture and light of the building.  I was completely ‘taken’ with the stunning light that streamed through the huge windows of the building.  Indeed I felt that the atmosphere created by the large windows, together with the clinically white interior, architectural angles and vaulted ceilings, warranted a mini photographic project all of its own.  Therefore I decided to take some time out to shoot some of the beautifully lit interiors that were flooded with natural light.  Below is a photo gallery of a photographic study of the light at the MACBA   Self Publishing a Small Book of Beautiful Light at the MACBA On realising that I had produced so many interior images of the MACBA, I decided to try out a few page layouts.  I felt that the images worked well together, so I decided to […]

A Temporary Distraction

The Annual College End of Year Film – Each year for the last few years I have been invited to produce our college end of year film.  It’s a long and quite complex task because it has to really showcase our department.  It needs to appeal to parents, staff and students alike.  Unfortunately because it is such a massive undertaking, my research has had to go on hold for a little while.  However in a couple of weeks I am due to fly out to Barcelona, so hopefully I‘ll have plenty of travelling time to catch up on my studies. In the meantime, I thought it would be interesting to document my film making process.  Each year I write all of the script, edit all of the video and use character animation software to enable animated characters to read the story’s narrative.  Often I also need to shoot my own video in order to help with the story and to fill in any gaps.  In fact I’m responsible for it all!  Over the last two years I’ve used a character I named ‘Horace ‘Boris’ Hedgehog’ (trust me, by watching the previous 2 films, his name becomes clear), this year it […]

Little Wins #2

A Design for Life – Every so often something comes along regarding my work to make me smile.  For example I might get a little mention or someone might ask to use my work somewhere, or I may even get referenced in someone else’s work.  I began to note some of these instances (which I call) ‘Little Wins’.  One of my first little wins was a mention by Bromsgrove School, they had taken inspiration from some of my Instagram bubble images used my ideas in class.  However today, I’m now pleased to mention another.  A couple of weeks ago a load  acquaintance contacted me with some exciting news! For 3 years running I was the official photographer for the May Bank Holiday Pirates’ Festival, held in Brixham each year, right up until sadly it was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid.  Below are links to some of my highlights from each year.   The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2017 The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2018 The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2019 NB: if the 2019 link does not work you can see a mash up of all of the images in a video short that I made this week.   2019 Link not […]

The Phoblographer

Gaining Traction – Back in 2021, I was delighted to appear on the pages of Yahoo Finance, syndicated via the Phlogographer photography magazine. The Phlobographer had placed me as one of the best female photographers of 2021.  I was absolutely delighted!!  Finally someone had found and appreciated my macro work.  I am eternally grateful to them for giving me my first notable break. I was equally delighted when they featured me again this week, this time as one of the best macro photographers.   I love their magazine and I feel really privileged to appear in it.  Please follow the links if you would like to find out more.   Examples of Work

Little Wins #1

Disasters Versus The Little Wins! – After returning from London I had so many images to document on my blog that I used up my hosting package allowance.  I have requested to migrate to another, better package but I will be extremely nervous until my update goes through and my website hopefully appears unscathed at the other side. I have taken multiple screenshots of my blog to date.  So if I lose my website and blog I will be able to quickly get some of my content back in some form as quickly as possible. I’m terrified that this process will go wrong! However, I can’t continue my blog if I can’t upload images. I am a believer that every cloud has a silver lining, or that if something bad happens, something nice will come along to offset it.   My good news came in the form of being ‘tagged’ in an Instagram post by the official account of Bromsgrove School in Bromsgrove.   They had referenced my work and set up little experiments to try to replicate it.  As a teacher I felt immense pride that my work had inspired someone enough to want to replicate it and use […]
