2013 CM Blog Circle {April} Shooting through glass ~ Personal

2013 CM Blog circle

The theme for April was shooting through glass, something a little bit different.  I got the opportunity to do this on a recent couple shoot in Shepherds Bush, London for some good friends of mine, Ray and Katy, who are due to get married very soon!

As you can see it absolutely poured down on the day of the shoot!  But we decided to embrace the rain rather than reschedule and were forced to get a little creative.

My original plan was to get them a well-earned coffee at the end and shoot them through the cafe window.  However, we had so much fun we ran out of time and there was no time for coffee.  I know – shock, horror!  Instead, the pictures below were shot through some glass panes outside Shepherds Bush Tube station.  I’m not really sure what their purpose was, but who cares, they made for a good picture! 🙂

I shared a couple more from this shoot in my lensbaby blog circle here.  If you like to see more of the whole shoot you can find it here!

    Love the abstract feel to these… you created something very artistic. I love all three for different reasons… the color of the first one, the connection in the second, the composition in the third. Well done!

A weekend in Lisboa, Portugal I Travel Photography

We have been to Portugal many times as a family since having children, but always to the Algarve.  We see a little of the beautiful beaches and scenery, and sample some of the local delicacies, but I must admit it is mostly a relax-by-the-pool type of break.  Nothing...
