Night Time Street with Flash (15/04/2012)

Hello everyone. I hope you've all kept well over the past week. Apologies for the lack of posts since the 9th. I've had a terrible week due to catching a horrible flu. It's quite honestly the worst flu I've ever had. I'm still not quite rid of it yet. :(


But here are some shots I've been meaning to upload for a while now.


More flash work using the GF3 + 14mm f/2.5 + on-board flash:

Night Time Street with Flash (10/03/2012)

So I went out again on Friday night and shot some more with flash and I'm really starting to enjoy it.
I think it's allowing me to discover a new side to my street work and helping me develop as a photographer.


Here are the shots, taken on the GF3 + 14mm f/2.5 + Onboard flash:

Night Time Street with Flash (09/03/2012)

I went out for a second round of night time street photography with flash, mostly to see how I feel about working with flash. I'm aware that I would achieve better shots with an off camera flash, however this experiment is to see how comfortable I feel about "flashing" people (oh dear, that just sounds wrong) and what their reaction would be like.
I found that most people don't notice or don't realise that I was taking a photo of them and assume that I was snapping something else. I did get the odd glare or "WTF" look here and there but nothing too alarming.


Here are a few of the better shots. Shot with the GF3 and onboard flash + 14mm f/2.5:

Night Time Street with Flash (13/02/2012)

Wow... What a weekend...
Greek riots, footballers not shaking hands, Legendary singers being found dead in their hotel rooms...


I went out Friday night and found the following photos on Sunday. In case you were wondering, it took me all of Saturday to recover from my hangover, and I've still not recovered from sleeping badly; my neck hurts every time I move my head.


So yeah, back to the photos. I don't know what happened to the photos on my camera before Friday night. I seemed to have deleted them.
I took these on the GF3 with it's on-board flash! They are highly experimental, I don't think I like this style but it was worth a try.

Bonus shot. Alternative processing using Silver-Efex.

Soho Night Walk (20/10/2011)

I wanted to capture the essence of Soho, Chinatown and Leicester Sq., London, at night. I've not processed the high ISO noise out on purpose as I believe it gives it a grittier feel and have purposely left the set in colour to capture the ambience of the place.
