Tag Team Photos

2009-10-02T10:32:00.001+01:00

I read an article about Tag Team photos and really would like to have a try. Kate and I met at a RPS workshop back in 2008 and she is the first person I thought of who would be up for this!

Being both busy mums, we are only going to post weekly. I hope you will enjoy this blog. Lisa x

I have recently been awarded the Licentateship of The Royal Photographic Society.

In order to gain a Distiction, I had to submit a portfolio of 10 photographs for approval by a highly qualified Panel of Fellows of the Society.

It has taken me over a year to build up to this. It was very nerve whacking sitting through the assessment especially as the Panel had deliberated on some of the photos. I am over the moon, but am already starting to work towards the next level.

The successful panel looks like this

I went back to The Lowry for another dusk shot. I am quite pleased with the outcome from both sets combined.

Processing them was a but more work then usual. I modified the temperature and saturation quite a bit.

I took the second set half a stop down, which seems to help with over exposure of the bright lights.

DOH

Went out to take some night shots tonight at Salford Quays.

None of my shots came out..........because............I left image stabiliser on...

Helped out Ian again at Garrick. Still a bit down about how good I really am.

I ran out of memory part way through the first act whilst I was near the stage, had to peg it back to my camera bag!

Managed to get some cracking shots!

RPS Workshop Wales

2008-06-02T04:40:00.000+01:00

A few of us from the C3 photography group went to a RPS workshop.

Took me ages to print my photos out, including a midnight trip to Tesco to get some printer cartridges!

The critique wasn't great. They only liked 3 of my photos :(

I was a very dishearten, maybe my aspiration is too high!?!

Here's a challenge

2008-05-26T22:40:00.000+01:00

C3 photography group met up today.

The challenge is to take 20 photos in 2 hours in Manchester center. Andy took part too with our compact camera.

I was very interesting as we went round Manchester together but ended up with quite different photographs.

My brother-in-law got married today, I took along my camera kit and ended up being in photographer mode all day. So I won't be doing that again.

They are very happy with my photos though, which is quite a relief.

Spent Saturday afternoon helping out my friend Ian as an assistant photographer. Sir Ian McKellen was unveiling a blue plaque for Stockport Garrick. He arrived with Anthony Cotton(Corri) and was treated to a tour of the threatre. After inveiing the plaque, followed by the Mayoress unveiling a plaque to commemorate Sir Ian unveiling a plaque. It was back to The Garrick for a history of the threatre, follwed by a unformal Q&A with Sir Ian. He also stayed to have a chat after too.
He's very down to earth and very talented.

A tiring but throughoutly enjoyable day.

A big thanks to Ian for asking me to help.

To those who knows me, they will know that I enjoy taking photos, especially of naomi.

Anyway, after many years of pondering I have finally upgraded my SLR to digital. I can't wait for the weekend to get out and about with it!

Yeehhaaa...
