The Paint Runner 2014
This Saturday, 1000 runners took part in The Paint Runner 2014, a charity event to raise money for St Michael’s Hospice.
This was a cause close to my family’s heart, as I lost my father to cancer recently and he spent his last days being cared for by St Michael’s Hospice. Both my daughters took part, as did one of their boyfriends and two cousins.
I went along to capture some of the day.
The event was a 3 mile run/walk around Hereford, passing through 5 paint stations, where they were covered in coloured paint powder. A few images below show the scale of the paint cloud!
A great day was had by all, and I believe £20,000+ was raised for the charity.

Depth Of Field explained in pictures
Depth of field and what affects it is very often misunderstood or can seem confusing to new photographers.
The three factors that effect it are aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera, though the last two are related.
Different sensor sizes will also affect the actual Depth of field (or DoF) achieved, but they are not factors the photographer can affect.
To help explain, and demonstrate how each of the 3 settings affects the depth of field, I though pictorial representation would be a good way to show it.
1. Same focal length, same distance from camera, different aperture setting.
2. Same focal length, same aperture, changing distance from subject to camera.
3. Same aperture, same distance subject to camera, different focal lengths.
Berlin Dec 2013
Went to Berlin again for the Xmas markets.
This time we found a 1.3km leangth of the Berlin Wall, called the East Side gallery. Some awesome art on the wall.
Here are a few snaps of some of it.
Blackpool Studio Shoot Nov 2013
A few of us met for a great weekend of studio shooting. We had a few models and MUAs (make-up artists) let us down, but stand-ins were arranged at zero hour, and some great models made it a good weekend.
Thanks to the girls, Misha, Milly, Vicky, Dani-elle, Sade, and Cherelle.
I’m still working through the images, but here are a few tasters.
Suzuki GSX650FA
After a break of about 20 years nearly, I finally decided to hold out no longer, and treated myself to a shiny new toy.

This is the first pic of it, no doubt there will be more.
Another shoot with Jade 28-6-13
This shoot was primarily to finally get round to a shot I had in mind for some time now, and due to the accessories, only a girl with ear stretchers was suitable, so Jade was perfect for the shot!
The ice axes are my actual ice climbing axes, the rest was stuff bought on Ebay. Only the background and reflection in the goggles is Photoshopped, rest is real.
A few holiday snaps from Cuba
Went to Cuba which is a very interesting place.
Here are a few snaps.
Old American cars in Havana.
Art nude shoot 14-4-13
Managed to get Rachy in the studio to do some shots I had in mind for some time now.
Here are a couple of samples.
Beckie MUA shoot 25-3-13
Had a shoot with new MUA Beckie, with Jade and Deanna as models. The goal was to get some portfolio shots for Beckie.
Was a good shoot, here are a few shots.
