New York, New York!

After buying our new Canon 5D Mark II we decided a little photo expedition was called for...a quick visit to the travel agents and a week to New York was booked up. It seems a long time ago now, but it's taken us ages to sort through all the photos, I know they say quality is better than quantity but we just got snap happy, and the quantity of quality photo opportunities was almost endless! This is the first instalment of our favourite images. We have also added some other New York images on our website in the personal gallery, so if you like these check out the website as well.


Statue of Liberty.


Phones in Grand Central Station.


A Brooklyn Bridge classic, in good old Sepia.



One of 15,000 in Manhattan...unfortunately the image doesn't record their lovely sound track...beep,beep!


Americans are proud of their flag and it is everywhere, couldn't really avoid it!

NYPD...Two of New York's finest in Wall street.

The magical New York sky line at night, how could you ever get tired of looking at this?

The Empire state building viewed from the Rockefeller centre.

The very cool Apple store stairs.

The Times Warner centre by night.

Subway at Grand central station.

The Brooklyn Bridge by day.

The famous fire exits of Mott St.

Reflections in Time Square.

The Brooklyn Bridge from a cold Fulton Park!

Michelle & Glen

We shot Michelle & Glen's pre wedding shoot with their
daughter Destiny at a park in Durham, the weather was
perfect. It was great to see them again after we first met
at Michelle's sisters wedding last summer. We can't wait
for their wedding in July and think Destiny is looking
forward to being all dressed up to pose for us again...she's
a natural!

Pam & Sean

A rainy day in the Lake district didn't stop us all having a
great day. Pam & Sean were great and didn't let the rain
stop them smiling all day. A big white umbrella to the
rescue and a few helping hands resulted in some fantastic
shots. At the end of the day we ended up needing some
cover and were lucky enough to find some very cool metal
shutters that gave a much more fashion shoot feel to the
images compared to the traditional church wedding.
As always... below are a few of our favourite shots!

Winter Wonderland

A little break away in Litton in the Yorkshire Dales.
There was a lovely frost in the morning and we couldn't
resist going out and taking some photos. It was extremely
cold, but as we came through the valley the sun came out.
The frozen water at the water fall was absolutely amazing
I've never seen anything like it before, the patterns were
beautiful.

Tasha & Zac

Cousins Tasha & Zac were great to photograph,
we spent a few hours around a wood yard and
got some great results. We love working with out
the constraints of a studio, and you can find a great
background almost anywhere, with just a little bit
of thought and careful posing.
These are some of our favourites...

Abstract Art

When we haven't got a shoot we still like to go out and about
with our cameras to create Photo Art. Here's a few of our
favourite images from a recent day out. It's amazing that
everyday objects can look like artwork, all it takes is a little
bit of imagination and a few different angles or close crops.

2008 Christmas card

We had the idea that we would make our
own Christmas card, after literally seconds
of thought we decided it would be fun to see
what we could do using "light Graffiti".
After making the house as dark as we could
we got a torch and some coloured filters and
had "quite a few" attempts at drawing a
Christmas tree...



All we needed now was a better background,
which was found at a local shopping centre.



Once we found a view point we liked the
rest was easy... ish!

It took a few attempts to get it right, and we managed to

get the above image and get back to the car just as security

arrived to check out the two dodgy people dressed in black

sneaking around the reindeers!
