DAY 85 H.M.S. Duncan

1 Per Day, Cardiff, Editing Software, Lightroom 4, Location, Nikon D300, wales

The 2014 NATO conference is being held in Cardiff and Newport and as part of the event NATO parked some nice warships in Cardiff Bay. Popped down yesterday to HMS Duncan, the last of a batch of 6. They’re 8000 tonne destroyers. I’ve been up close with the Type 23 before so it was a real shock to see the Type 45 up close, because they’re massive.

Alzheimers Charity Event @ The Hand and Squirrel

Colour Management, commercial, Event Photography, lighting, Lightroom 4, Location, Perfect Photo Suite 8.5, Talbot Green, wales, X-rite Color Passport

As a favour to  a fellow Gary Numan fan; the very beautiful Kayleigh Smith. I did some shots for her Alzheimers charity night at The Hand and Squirrel, Talbot Green. Sadly I didn’t get a lot of takers but I did get some really nice images of those who chose to partake. It was useful for me to get the dust off the kit and I was especially pleased with the X-rite color passport which gave superb consistent colour through out.

These two young ladies made the best use of my time, and where not backwards in coming forward 🙂

On the sunday I spent time creating a nice warm portrait look in Perfect Photo Suite 8.5 and the results are below. I hope you enjoy the results as much as I.

I know, I cheat a lot. At least I’m honest. Really like the texture of this shot, hope you do too.

Day 34

1 Per Day, Nikon D300

More fog this morning, but only one shot I like, and it’ll take some work, so later in the day when the fog had lifted I got this one. Another slow news day I’m afraid, but it’s ok. Isn’t it?
