Lightboxes

As mentioned in the last post, these are some glass sculptures outside the Lightbox in Woking. I took photographs through them of my classmate, Reeve (who kindly agreed), and myself on the evening of our private viewing of The Gathering (see the Exhibition page for more info.)

On 31st January we held a private viewing of our UCA Photography MFA student work, The Gathering (you can see information about it now on the Exhibitions page). On the way out, in the evening, I stopped to photograph these glass sculptures with variable colored lighting in the entrance park. I couldn’t find any information about them.

British Architecture

This is the building seen a couple of posts ago, from outside the Lego store in Leicester Square.

Green Glass

I met my classmate, Naoto, at the Centre for British Photography and we went to a bustling, crowded Chinese restaurant he knew where, after a wait, we were directed to a table on the 2nd floor (3rd floor to Americans) and I saw this out the window.

Polaroid?

I booked time in the studio to practice with my new (old) Pentax 645N II film camera. I didn’t really have anything important in mind to shoot but I wanted to get time playing with the lights and learning to use the camera. In order to test the exposures I was metering for, before shooting with the expensive film I shot with my digital camera, set to the same ISO, shutter speed, aperture and equivalent focal length. In olden times, a studio photographer might have shot a polaroid in the same way.

Blue Glass

Saturday morning I happened to notice early Spring morning light streaming in on an eclectic collection of items on the dining table. Hence the still life images that make up the next several posts.

I shot this with the Fujinon 60mm f2.4 macro. Even though I wasn’t particularly aiming for it, that’s some very smooth bokeh.

Midtown

Don’t remember exactly where this archival shot was taken but it was June, 2004, before I was keywording my digital images, somewhere in midtown and shot as a jpeg with the Dimage A1.
