Level Light Exhibition


Here is a sneak preview of one of my images that will be appearing in an Exhibition called Level Light.Level Light is an exhibition of paintings of the Somerset levels by two established somerset artists Pennie Elfick and Jenny Graham.My work was spotted by Pennie and Jenny at the Ginger Fig Gallery in Taunton where it's sold and they kindly asked if I'd like to show some of my work.
This is the first image I have produced for the show and it's called May on the Moor.
It was shot nr Burrow Mump at Burrowbridge Somerset.It was so early in the morning that my only company where 2 young Deer who watched me from a cautious distance.
The Exhibition runs at Ginger Fig Bath Place Taunton for 2 weeks from the 3rd-17th July

Audi A8


We did some test work in April using the new Audi A8 which I was fortunate to have at my disposal for a week.After much deliberation we finally made our decisions for the locations.Myself and a friend who often drives for me on shoots first found some of these spots on Exmoor 16 years previous when we shot his Ford RS Turbo for my portfolio.Luckily we managed to find our way back to scout out the best time of day for the light.A week or two later at 5.30 am we returned and managed 4 locations before the light was lost.
The images where all retouched and then converted into LAB colour so I could separate the colours and add intensity before converting back to RGB.
As for the car it was nice for a week but I'm glad to get back to my into my BMW for the thrills !!
