In these hard economic times, even Santa needs a second income.

I'm riddled with man-flu so my selective colour PP may be a bit ropey!

Strobist info:
YN560 @ 1/8 Camera rear ceiling bounced
YN460ii @ 1/16 subject front wall bounced.

For the first time in ages I've been able to use a 365 shot for a Cliche! Two birds with one Christmasy stone.

Santa would like to bring you seasons good wishes as he prepares for his round the world trip next week.

Strobist info bits:
YN460II rear of subject wall bounced @ 1/8
YN560 camera rear at 1/8 ceiling bounced.

HCS folks!

I was given, as an early Christmas present, a copy of "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael Freemen. Somehow in my strange and twisted little mind the title warped itself into this shot.

The eyes in question being a Sigma 18-250 and a Tokina 11-16.

A couple of things occurred to me when I looked at the image on my PC:
1) Ewww, double chin!
2) The front of the Tokina is filthy
3) DOUBLE CHIN!
4) If you look really closely you can see my actual eyes inverted (obviously) in the lens.
5) Really need to lose the chin!

Strobist info:
YN450II @ 1/8 Camera rear ceiling bounced
YN560 @ 1/8 Subject rear pointing up wall
Gold reflector(not that it matter with B+W!) in front of subject

Naughty Mr Apple has stolen poor Mrs Orange's coat. The swine!

BAH HUMBUG!

Massively OTT bokeh shot. My kids have been nagging me to get Christmas decorations and finally I gave in!

I don't normally shoot portraits, but it's a horrible rainy day and I had a (reasonably) willing model.

A close shave (337/365)

Rob Webb. posted a photo:

After a minor shaving related mishap the other day I came up with this shot. I've been shaving for over 17 years, you would think I would be able to manage it now without removing half my face in the process...

The "blood" is actually red absinthe, it was the only suitable thing I could find in the house and I wasn't about to use my own for realism!

YN560 @ 1/8 camera left ceiling bounced.

Sunrise, sunrise (333/365)

Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise, Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

Droplets on the window lit by the first rays of sunrise.

As with most kids, Sam much prefers playing with the box than what it contains. In this case he decided that the box the new Christmas Tree came in was Kevin Eleven's car(for those of you without young boys, he's a character in the cartoon Ben 10). I'm not quite sure why he was laying in it, rather than sitting, but he was having a lot of fun regardless!

Lit by a single YN560 at 1/64 Camera right.

Red berry christmas snow cliche

Taking inspiration from innumerous cheesy Christmas cards (and in the true tradition of shops around the world I'm bringing you this very early in December) I present; Red berry snowy Christmas card cliché with added bokeh. unfortunately there wasn't a robin nearby that I could nail to the branch to make it complete.

HCS everyone!

365 shot for the MacroMonday theme "Seven Deadly sins". (with added lolcat reference!)

I think this probably ticks:
Greed
Gluttony
Lust
and maybe even Envy
Off of the list for me.

Cookie in question is a Smarties one and contains enough sugar and random "e" numbers to power a small city for a week(no, i didn't actually eat it!).

HMM everyone!

Using nothing more than a couple of flash units with filter gels(red and blue) plus my own ugly mug i've created a hideous halloween beast.

Apologies if it scares small children.

(Yes, unfortunately they really are my own teeth)

Happy Halloween Cliche Saturday!
