My Bokeh Masters Kit arrived in post today, so I quickly set up the fairy lights to test it.
I’m very pleased with the bokeh patterns I’m getting.
I used a 50mm 1.4, wide open for the tests.
The real challenge will be to get a sharp portrait in the foreground and a cool bokeh...

This is the best compact camera Canon has ever made. In fact they made it so good, that they never replaced it with a next model in this product line. Now it’s time to ebay it, and get a “go everywhere camera”, which fits into a pocket.

I visited the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers Convention and Trade Show in Hammersmith.

Plenty to see and a great opportunity to get a hands on experience with the latest and greatest 7D and 1D Mk IV.
I am now completely sold on the 7D mostly because of the ability to control...
As I am slowly collecting my Strobist kit, I started playing more with tabletop photography. Last week I spent a fiver on some second hand Vivitar color filters (…I wouldn’t call them gels, they’re too rigid…), nicked a beautiful kimono doll from the top of my parents’ piano, and set up a classic tabletop seamless.
Here’s...
Since I don’t feel like investing into a set of Pocket Wizards (yet!), I decided to go down the wire-triggering route. The original Off Camera Shoe Cord II from Canon is only really long enough to alow you to mount the flash on a bracket, but there is nothing preventing us from making it longer....
I have always wanted a Wacom tablet, but somehow, there had always been something more important pushing it down on the priority list. Finally, after Wacom released their Intuos4 series, I bit the bullet and got myself one of the still available Intuos 3, from Amazon.
I can’t believe, I had managed without it for so...
