So, April already. Already??? What happened to the first quarter of the year??

So it's been quite busy for me - lots of at-home practicing styles and finishes for some new lighting tools I've bought or adapted over the winter - I think I've burned the goodwill of my children-stroke-models until at least July! My favourite so far is the light globe - great for flooding a room with background light to stop it disappearing behind the subject - but second place is the small barn door attachment for the studio lights (think of the atypical film set light). Speaking of which, I think one of them might need a service, it started playing up midway through the shoot with Colin (http://www.stuartreekiephotography.co.uk/colincampbell)... Despite the issues I think we managed to come away with a great variety of shots for the two hours.

The best thing about photography is that feeling of pride when you see one of your shots getting used out in the "wild" - well, twitter* and suchlike.
