Tinta was actually trying to eat the camera in the middle one, it was only about 2 inches away from her.

Day 106

Pluto

Well the weather has been complete pants today but I was stuck indoors all
day waiting for a delivery anyway so don't suppose I can complain too much.
Gave me a chance to play around with the card backgrounds though, thought
I'd try the white one today.​

Nice shots Marc, must get out and get some card for BG's myself, need to kick myself into action.

Cheers Stu. Hobbycraft, £2.50 for an A1 sheet of 300gsm. (Plus a vodka bottle and a sherry bottle to prop it up against! )

Would need to be empty bottles for me, or they would be by time I am finished.

That's the beauty of a dual purpose backdrop stand. How many posh studios can make that claim?

True

Could be a good marketing ploy, we could make a killing

Indeed, but if we were to do it in a full size studio do you know where we can get 8 foot high vodka bottles?

Reaserching the different suppliers could be fun though.

I'm counting on it!

 

[King of Groove]

I'll see if I can get some decent pics this time. Not sure if Andy is coming so it may be up to someone else to stitch Adam up this time!

I'm sure there will be plenty of volunteers if Andy can't come!

 

[King of Groove]

Great last couple of pics Marc. It's a great lens the Sigma isn't it?

Day 107

Room with a view

Just a quicky tonight. The view from my office windo taken with the 10-20.
Also shows our garden which Sue has done an incredible job with over the last
couple of years. Packing all the gear up now for tomorrow's Southend meet! ​

Yep, but at least the sky wasn't totally white. Weather is due to pick up for the weekend here though.

Day 108

Southend

Not long back from the Southend meet. Had a great time and it was great to
meet new people as well as hooking up with the more familiar. Ended up with
four of us sat on the beach watching (and photographing) the sunset. This was
the last photo I took today and my first ever proper sunset shot.​

 

[JDholic]

And it's fantastic Marc!!

Could have been an entry this month as well...

 

[Marc]

Thanks JD. I've got others that I'm thinking of for this months comp.

Not particular one way or another if I'm honest. If the opportunity presents then I'll take it.

Aw Ruth. It was great to meet you at last today though and I'm sure there'll be other opportunities.

Oh dear. Get some rest and hoping you're feeling better soon.

 

[Chillimonster]

Fantastic image Marc - the figures on the beach really make it

 

[cosmix3]

Like todays Marc, the colours, the silouets of the people on the beach, all work for me very nice.

 

[Marc]

Thanks guys. I'm just processing the rest of the days pics and I have to say I'm quite chuffed.

Day 109

Wide Angle Me Week - Day 1

Well as I said I was going to do it in Southend yesterday, I might as well do it
sooner rather than later. A week of self portraits (Yeah, sorry about that. )
but all taken with the Sigma 10-20. They are likely to get weirder as the week goes on. :nuts:​

 

[JDholic]

I can imagine Marc!!!

The 10-20 really does give some weird points of view...

I'm looking forward to this week!

 

[dellipher]

Most of my self portraits have been done by a 10-20
