More food images …..
More food images …..
Woke up today with the image in my head …. 25 minutes in the oven and 30 minutes to set up and 30 minutes shooting and this is the result.
Bad news is that it’s ‘apparently’ not the best way to start the day….and yes, I had to eat them 🙂
One was more than enough, I now feel a bit sick 😛 🙁Food Photography
I decided to do some images of food today…. nothing too serious, but I just wanted to brush up on the basics of lighting reflective and non-reflective surfaces.
I decided not to try and make these tests look mouth-wateringly tasty, but purely to cover the more technical aspects and have a bit of fun at the same timeBelow are some pictures I took from the session today.
There would have been more, but I had to go and look at some exhibition space mid-evening which took longer than I expected.My objectives today were texture, transparency, reflective and quirky/fun
Tomorrow is the mouth watering stuff 😀
PocketWizard Limitation ……
PocketWizard Limitation ……
If anyone can break the unbreakable, it’s me 🙂
PocketWizards are amazing peices of gear. 100% reliable (as long as the cables and batteries are good) with an unbeatable range of operation.
They’re the gold standard for remote camera/flash triggering. But …. I’ve managed to find a flaw.I was doing some testing the other day and I’d set up 2 strobes and my camera on a tripod with remote shutter triggering with my Phottix wireless shutter trigger as I wanted more flexability than using my wired Nikon trigger.
After a few test shots I realised one of the flashes had stopped working. I hit the test button on the camera PocketWizard, but all was well. A few more shots and I realised that the Phottix trigger was interfering with the signal that the PocketWizard was putting out.
I set the camera to use the 2second timer and hey-presto – all the lights went off as normal.
The Phottix wireless trigger is a really handy bit of kit, but worth noting that it introduces reliability issues with the UK PocketWizardsExhibition pictures – https://www.anoceanapart.com

Below are some pictures from the opening night of Rob Durston’s An Ocean Apart Exhibition in Lisburn Island Art Center, Nothern Ireland.
I flew over to support Rob on the night and also to deliver the last print in person.
Here are some pics of one of the rooms just before the 19:30 launch.
The exhibition runs until the 27th June, is free entry and is well worth a look.
