It's well below zero and the ground is icy... but the full moon looks awesome! So I went out to photograph the moon but it disappeared behind some clouds... so it was time for plan B. Long exposure shots with myself moving out of frame half way through. This digital photograph was shot at f2.8 ISO 100 for 15 seconds on a 5D mark II using a Canon EF 70-200mm 1:2.8 L IS II USM lens on manual focus.

In post I did split toning, curves, levels, colour balancing, black levels and a few text layers.

I'll be sharing tricks like how to do this properly at my photography training course in Leeds in May. See you there!

I was visiting Canterbury last week and I walked past the new Marlow Theatre building site which is almost complete. It reminded me that one foggy night back in December 2006 I had done a series of photographs of Canterbury at night. One of them was this shot of the old Marlow Theatre. Enjoy!

Sometimes I'm driving along and I spot something that I just have to photograph so last night as I was driving back from the Gulbenkian Theatre I noticed this view of  Canterbury Cathedral. It was about 11pm so I pulled over and got a tripod and my 5D out and took a few long exposure shots.

I've heard that there may be a hotel built where I was standing to take this shot which means that we'll loose this view so I'm glad I took the opportunity to grab this shot.
