Sylvia has helped me out with my teaching course so many times it's hard to count.

Stereogram
Ok so the trick is to go cross eyed, sitting quite far back if you haven't done this before, so the two pictures combine in the middle to make a third, this one looks 3D.
Let me know if you do it!
Ok, so if you can do that one, try this one now!

365 - Day 7
Went to see Sir David Frost at the Ludlow Assembly rooms, I did debate on whether or not to play the press card and ask for a picture of him, but he looked tired so I didn't. Why is it that every time I see a celebrity at that place, they always look tired? If I was working there, I'd take them a piece of cake and a cup of tea to pick them up.
So this is Hannah, she's a very good friend and we went to the talk together, she had to work, she was writing a review and so afterward we met up with our other friend for drinks at the Parkway.
This is taken in the Buttercross, about an hour and a half after sunset.

365 :: Day 1
365 is my year long project, every day I take one photograph that is inspiring, or of something or someone that has inspired me photographically.
Today this photo is of a roe deer skull I use to hang my jewelry from. It was given as a present to me by a special friend and i didn't know what else to do with it.
Below are the works in progress photographs with a little info about them. I hope to provide new and pro photographers a sense of how I work! Enjoy :)
Initial image capture, using flash to the left of the camera, as you can see it's slightly underexposed, the next one is better, I opened up the aperture up to allow more flash in. At this particular moment, composition isn't something I was consciously thinking about I just wanted to get the right settings for a well exposed photograph.
Once I had the settings correctly exposing the image, I wanted a tighter beam of light. I knew I still wanted a soft light so I chocked up the umbrella down the shaft a bit to create a soft spotlight effect, as you can see from the photos above.
This is my final idea for composition, and here you can see me playing with light angle. The distance is pretty much set it in as I like the fall off and as the subject is sitting flush against the background, "subject - background" distance isn't playing much of a role in this piece.
The first one is lit straight on, the light does the job, but due to the crap hanging off the horns, there isn't enough light to reach the textured skull.
The second attempt is backlit, I like the way the eye sockets are lighting up but what I don't like is the lack of detail in the foreground, I could've used another flash but I chose a reflector instead, which helped a little.
The third go has the brolly opened up a little more and the angle is about 30deg from horizontal and set just behind the skull to give separation. the reflector, a silver one, was held just out of shot to provide fill.
