A black and white conversion of a macro shot focusing on a Bishop chess piece.
This chess set was actually made by my father when I was a boy. Each of the pieces were made from pouring resin into molds. Felt was then glued to the underside of each piece.
This abstract image is actually an open bottle of Becks photographed from above, using a macro lens.
The pattern around the bottle was achieved by crumpling tin foil and then standing the bottle in the middle. I illuminated the photograph with a ring flash and manually focused on the rim of the bottle, throwing the reflections from the tin foil out of focus.
I've been attending the London MCM Expo this weekend, taking a few photographs of the cosplayers. Hopefully This will give us a whole set of new images when our cosplay website gets re-launched in July.
As usual, I will also be uploading the majority of images to the MCM Expo and UK Cosplay photo pools on Flickr.
As an everyday lens I usually have an EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 attached to the front of my camera. However you sometimes need a little extra reach.
TIPA recently gave one of their annual awards to the EF-S 55-250mm, and I managed to pick one up at a rather reasonable price.
To give it a proper trial, I took it with me on a day out and managed to get this shot of a Pine Martin at full zoom.
