A quiet Boxing Day here in the South Wales valleys, the weather is Grey and very wet so no trips out with the camera.
Still have the Nikon 50mm on the camera so I decided to annoy the family with some candid abstract shots around the house using the D7000 and the SB700 flash.
Not the most exciting of shots but it sums up the relaxing day at home……lol
I have been using my iPhone and various photo apps mainly ‘instagram’ a lot lately and really enjoy the unpredictability of the results I am getting but I prefer to have a bit of control over my photography.
So as a bit of a challenge I have been grunging up some of my shots with loads of layers and textures, vignettes etc and feel just as good being in control of the end results and obviously the quality and resolution is far better to be able to print.
Usually I am a sucker for sharp, precise photographs but the iphone/instagram feel is a real passion at the moment so I hope you enjoy and any feedback will be greatly recieved
Thanks for looking 🙂
Went for a nice bracing walk yesterday before going to shoot the Rugby game and intead of dragging my Dslr around I just took my iPhone4 and used Instagram to snap some random photos for a change.
It was very liberating just using the phone camera but I did feel like I was missing something by not taking along my regular camera.
I was pleased with what I captured even though they were pretty random stuff and will not be winning many awards………..

Visited Bridgend this weekend and had a field day shooting loads of colourful foods with my Sigma 30mm f1.4 getting real shallow depth of field.
The sharpness of this lens coupled with my Nikon D300s wide open is exceptional and it has not been off the camera since I bought it.
I recommend this lens highly it is a pleasure to use.
