Not one for portrait shots, but was bored with the weather yesterday and waiting to go to work so decided to give my little lad a photo shoot.

The camera focus, it's FAST!! I've had my S5 for 2 weeks now, fantastic phone (upgraded from S3). 4k video recording is ace, just need to save for a 4k tv now so I can enjoy the videos I take. There is also a built in download booster which uses your 3/4g connection and wi-fi to download files a lot faster providing the file is over 30mb. I compared both of them whilst in store sat and played with both phones for around 2 hours and came away with the S5, just seemed much more impressive in the hand and was quicker loading internet pages and the same apps.

Yeah always people walking around or cars in the way. Luckily 350 had parked well away from the crowds and cars so just had to wait for the wonderers to go to shoot.

Been a while, been to another car show (Hazza, if you don't have anything nice to say then please don't ) Here's a few of my faves then the link to the rest.. _MG_1509_Chris_ST_On_Road by Carl C Photography, on Flickr _MG_1496_James_Kels_ST by Carl C Photography, on Flickr _MG_1465_Honda_Civic by Carl C Photography, on Flickr _MG_1396_Veilside_350 by Carl C Photography, on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/carlcurtisphotography/sets/72157645479532102/

Forgot you became a pro editor over night hazza! Its called trying different things instead of going the normal route. Big watermark there for a reason the last batch I only did a small watermark the next thing I find out somebody has cropped it off and claimed it as their work. Not going to happen this time. The customers are happy enough 37 a4 images sold is pretty good.

Went to a car meet the other week (some may have seen these on facebook), but I know some of ya aren't on there so thought I'd share here too.

I'm usually confident around people I know (I'm the guy always doing stupid stuff when drunk among friends, we all have one of those friends right?) Anyway, I know the couple in question or rather my wife knows the couple in question and we have been invited so I have propsed they invest a wedding photpgrapher and to ask if it's ok if they have a friend (ie me) shadow him/her for a bit. Yet to hear from this proposal but I'm hoping it's a good outcome, that way I won't have pressure to deliver should I think the images are carp! Harry that's an awesome image and Rich has done well with the edit, removing the highlight on the lettering and removing the pan has made it "cleaner"

Was all hand-held, unfortunatley the kitchen has a couple of tiny windows so no major natural light to help. Yes was shooting under service so had to be quick with what I was doing. Fired a few burst of each dish then simply edited the best one of those taken. I have spoken to the chef and if we plan to do this again he has said we can do it on when he has stopped service and will cook the food so it is partially uncooked. Got a few shoots coming up soon, another car meet and have been asked to do a wedding again!!!! This is the third wedding I have been asked to do now, really tempted to give it a go but I'm still unsure, it's not a full on Cathedral/Church wedding just a small gathering in a registry office I'm not sure on what do? I have the lenses to cover every possible angle and also have the flashes, spare batts etc etc, I just think I lack in confidence. So, should I give it a go to see if I'm comfortable with it or should I say no again?

Cheers guys. Yes Harry was shot under hot lamp. Didn't have ofc so couldn't use it unfortunately. Will definitely give the tips a go next time.

Decided I will be investing in a 50D. Full frame would be nice but that means more cash for lenses would be needed and I just don't have the extra to do so yet. On another note, was asked by the new chef of a local pub if I could take some pictures of the new pub menu, was only happy to oblige especially as it meant I got to sample it all afterwards. Technically not the greatest (never shot anything like this) but it's 100% better than the mobile photos they used to use.

Cheers Harry, glad I treat myself it to be honest. Most expensive piece of glass I've bought and I told the missus I would use it. Currently been the only lens on the end of my camera since I got it. I'm even using it as a walk around and macro (ish) lens, gets a little heavy after a while though lol. On another note, new body time, have my trusty 40D at the mo but its edging on close to 80k actuations getting close to that dreaded 100k mark. So looking at upgrading, would like to know what's out there for around

Out and about again, this Bigma lens of mine is getting some serious use lately.
