This little fella totally trashed the car in front of us at Longleat.  Slightly irritated that I couldn’t get the image to be pin sharp, shooting through a dirty windscreen while laughing and trying to manual focus is a tad tricky.

Dirty Stop Out
Love this shot of Miss SJ.  With the work in Lightroom i really think it feels like she has just got back from a night out.

Miss SJ goes Stussy
Snapped this of Misss SJ in a Stussy top.  I thought our security light constantly switching on was going to be a problem but I quite like the hard light shining down from the side.  As always learning new techniques every day.

Light Graffiti - Make Yo’ Mark
Having worked out, with a little help from YouTube, how to achieve the light painting technique last week, it struck me it could translate to street art enabling tagging in a different vibe.
It turns out I’m not the only person to think this, a brief look on Flickr gave me the inspiration to stand in the cold next to some old garages and play with light some more and see if we could spray some ‘light graffiti’.

This time my partner in invisible crime was Miss SJ and we were trying to create a unique new header for her blog.  She grasped the concept of what I was trying to achieve quickly. The first couple of attempts didn’t work quite so well as we ended up with with just 1 letter in shot for her light graffiti tag but once I started calling out the time that had lapsed there was no stopping her.
30 seconds or so on the exposure with an ISO100 gives you everthing you need but the most important elements you need - a tripod and the dark.  Seem obvious about the dark but trying to set the shot and realising the security camera is going to keep coming on can really ruin the shot.
The image above is my favourite; it seems to suggest Miss SJ has been caught - it was more of an accidental shot with my time calling slightly out  but I think we may have ended up with an image that captures something closer to a true street feel.
