I’ve been browsing my archives over the last few days looking for specific photos to add to a series I’m doing. I came across what appears to be my first ever RAW file captured back in July, 2006. Now I shoot exclusively in RAW so this was a momentous occasion marking a stepping stone in…

Last night I spent a few hours playing with lighting at Silverpixel, Newtown. Here’s a photo of me messing around taken with a Hasselblad H3DII, a 39Mp back, and an 80mm F2.8 lens.
