Another shot of the Unicorn Gundam model. This image was taken using my new flash. A sharp picture. But not everyone likes models.

Living down by the river there are a lot of boats by the quays. There is also the wreck of an old river boat. It is just a empty wooden shell filled with mud and grass growing all over it. It's bow still stands proud.

picture 94

St Botolphs church and the ruin of St Botolphs priory. The priory was established in the 11th century and was left a ruin after the seige of Colchester in 1650. The new church was built in 1837. For me the ruin shows the rich history of Colchester.

picture 93

My latest model build. Shot using my new flash. Due to the limitations of the flash on my camera controlling the power of the flash is quite difficult. I used fabric to diffuse the light from the flash.

picture 92

A shot of the lights running along the ceiling in a tunnel. This was a tricky shot to get a good exposure of the lights and not underexposing the wall and ceiling of the tunnel too much.

I have just recently bought a flash for my camera. Found a very cheap flash that is really meant for a Minolta film camera and not a digital camera. However, it works nicely with my camera although with some limitations. This shot is a test shot with the flash mounted on the camera. Some good light considering the room was very dark when taking the picture.

picture 90

Man walking in tunnel. The darkness of the tunnel contrasts well with the bright sunlight that is outside. The figure of the man walking a perfect silhuette against the light. Converted to mono and used a yellow tone for the light to make it softer.

A very nice portrait. I love the softness of the picture. Very smooth looking. A beautiful shot of a beautiful girl. I used natural light for the ligthing. The desaturated colours really work in this picture.

picture 88

Colchester High Street as seen at night from the upper level on a double decker bus. Taken through the window of the bus. There are some reflections in the glas visible. They look a bit like ghost images. I used a red monotone to get the contrast i wanted.

picture 87

The inside of a double decker bus. I like the depth of field. This picture benefits from the soft character of the lens with the aperture wide open.
