ON THE UNDERGROUND !!!

In Stockholm, it’s snowing like mad, hands too cold to take out the supposedly ‘weather-sealed 5d mk3’, but i bought along the ‘waterproof’ camera bag to test it all out! Escaping the vertical snow, ducked into this ‘metro’ station, which is basically a barely disguised ravine tunnel!!! The bag was right, Manfrotto are good to their word, all the kit was warmer and dryer than me… then i looked up, and thought ‘the light is flattering, the lines are interesting, the background is dramatic and the general scene would be massively enhanced by a fisheye perspective – 15mm to be exact! More to come…

DEEP BLUE (MARLIN) SEA !!!

DEEP BLUE MARLIN SEA !!!

I was staring out the window at the -2 degrees London skyline during a meeting today (multitasking obviously), and I counted precisely the same number of clouds that are in this picture I took of Blue Marlin in Ibiza a couple of months ago. I had to look very hard for the cloud.

I particularly like how the only evidence of civilisation is to be found in deserted yachts, skidoos and a solitary pair of sandals on the rocks. Not a single person in sight! 24mm was plenty wide to do justice to the jetty’s imposing path, cutting through the lunar-style boulders into the ‘fresh’ Med waters! Ahhh dream of warmth!
