You can get the rest of these on my smugmug, this is just a few of them.

landscape using a polarizer

I used lightroom to edit this, it's really powerful, lots of useful tools to edit photos. It's great for cataloging your photos to make it easier to find them.

I took this today, it was a beautiful sunny day, cold and clear visibility.

Made my first lightbox

Some shots from my homemade lightbox.

more light painting / light graffiti

Gordon Ross — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:01:00 +0000

My laser pointer only lasted a few minutes before it started fading, battery is running out I think, enough for these pics though.

more experiments with light painting

sooty cleaning herself

Gordon Ross — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:31:00 +0000

She looks kind of big here but I think it's because she is so fluffy, she is really a slim cat.

another nice landscape during the golden hour

the sky at night

Gordon Ross — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:43:00 +0000

I took this photo (and a few others) on the night of my birthday a few days ago, the house at the bottom of the frame is my sister's new house build, a sign of good times ahead I hope.

blurry water photos

Gordon Ross — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:25:00 +0000

I was able to take these long exposure photos with a tripod, I didn't need an nd filter because it wasn't too bright but there was enough light for a nice photo.

nice day today, got a few photos taken

waiting for the good weather to arrive

Gordon Ross — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:00:00 +0000

Need to find things to photograph in the winter.

replacement lens arrived today

Gordon Ross — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:16:00 +0000

I had to send back my tamron 17-50 vc, after having it almost two days, it still wouldn't autofocus properly. I received the replacement today and it works perfectly, I must have been unlucky the first time with a faulty one.

insects, a collection of macros

Gordon Ross — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:36:00 +0000

This is pretty cool, a macro collage of insects. Don't view if bugs scare you though.

new lens on the way

Gordon Ross — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:32:00 +0000

I ordered a new Tamron 17-50 vc, it's only been out for a couple of months, I have seen sample photos from it and it looks amazing. Hopefully I will get some wicked shots with it, 2009 was a good year for my photography, I got my first digital slr just over a year ago and I think I have learned a lot about how to use it.

sooty looking content (actually the flash made her blink)

Snow Capped Mountains

Gordon Ross — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 20:21:00 +0000

This is the kind of photo I wanted to take this winter, the Clisham covered in snow. I had to do some editing it to get it to look like this but this was my first attempt at an edit and i'm quite pleased with it.

All i can say is "i was bored". First experiment with light painting.

no updates for a while

Gordon Ross — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:03:00 +0000

I haven't been taking any photos for a while, I don't usually take many during the dark winter days, Summer is my favourite time for photography. I will post on this blog anything decent taken during the winter, sometimes the snow covered hills on a sunny day can be nice to photograph.

A few photos from this evening

Photos Backup

Gordon Ross — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:49:00 +0100

I am backing up my photos onto dvd-r, it's going to need 7 blank dvd's because all my photos are a total of almost 29GB, each raw file can be as much as 12mb or more.

fuchsia

Gordon Ross — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:06:00 +0100

I love the colours of these flowers.
