Newcastle Millenium Bridge
Originally uploaded by rachaelr
From a trip away this weekend to Newcastle. A shot of the Millennium bridge 'tilting' - it tips right up to let ships pass underneath.
Ironically, none of the pubs we visited in Newcastle had any Newcastle Brown in stock....

minature fun
I always like it when someone favourites an old image on flickr and it pops up from the depths... I almost forgot I had done these series of 'minature' scenes. This one is from a Paris trip - go to the flickr page to find the tutorial I used to 'minaturise' the image.

an oldie and a goodie
This is an image I really like. Stood out in the cold for a few hours during a photography class to get this one. Night Bus, London, Dec 2006.

shameless pimpin'
here's a bit of pimping of images taken this weekend at the Red Bull Air Race in London (full media accreditation yay!). all are available exclusively at shutterstock under editorial licenses, through either the subscription, or the new 'on demand' license model (a bit cheaper for those that only want a few images here and there).
Go buy them here.

snooty
I was thinking about materials we might have lying around to make a quick and easy snoot for my flash, when viola! I remembered people saying to use mousemats, and that lead me to thinking... I found a neoprene beer holder (thanks A & S! From their wedding favours!) in the cupboard - one with no 'bottom' in it, and it works perfectly as an instant snoot.
No gaffer tape, no messing about. Black on the inside, and seems pretty much like its not loosing any light through it. Now to find some black straws to make a grid to shove in the end.

Penny Farthing Lady

I love the smile on this lady. Taken at the 'market' on Cheapside, City of London this weekend. Shame I didn't get the flash out to lift some of the face shadow, might clean it up in photoshop at some stage - this is straight from the camera at the moment.

cricket shots
A few shots from Lords yesterday. NZ v England, final ODI.
Yeah mate, that was a cracking delivery...
This guy kept our entire stand entertained for a good 5 minutes looking for his friends. Half the icecreams had melted before he found them.
Just a nice action shot in the late afternoon sun.
Heaps more on my flickr set. And another couple of hundred still sitting unprocessed on the hard drive! Shot with a 70-200mm f4 L IS, from up the very top row of the Upper Grandstand, so about as far away from the action as possible - mostly around 1/640th, varying ISO depending on how much sun was about.

Papparazzi alert! Joe Satriani
Originally uploaded by rachaelr
A shot I took last weekend at a London Music show, of Joe Satriani looking rather inconspicious while signing autographs.
Shot with a 70-200mm f4 IS lens from about 10 meters away (looking through a gaggle of security guards) and the trusty 430ex on camera, with horrid dim red and blue ambient lighting :)

feed me
I find it weird that none of the stock photography sites I contribute to provide either daily digest emails of sales, or rss feeds to track sales.
K has written me a html scraper in ruby that spits out a rss feed for shutterstock, but I don't think I'll ask him to go through the pain of doing any more sites! Can't see why this would be such a big problem for the sites to implement.

oh behave!
I forgot I took this while out shooting the London Olympic torch relay. Just around the corner from our flat. Not too sure what the City of London Police mean by this, maybe they are congratulating the local residents on their nice manners?
A blog by a Legal Alien in London, about Photography, Software Development, Design and Testing, random ranting about anything that annoys me, and London in general. Enjoy!
