MOVED TO WORDPRESS

Sorry blogger... but I have moved to http://gordoncburns.wordpress.com/ for my blogging needs.

Please come find me there...

PIXLR-O-MATIC

I have been experimenting with photo editors and thought i’d quickly share this

i created it using http://pixlr.com/o-matic/

best thing is it’s free and they have a download app which you can use off-line if you want.

Planing a shoot with a Rock Band at the moment… will keep you posted!

I love filming gigs and it’s for more reason’s than the obvious free entry and drinks…

Have a listen to this…

I love hearing things which are fresh and inventive and I love being able to help in what ever way I can so other people can enjoy the music.

3 Wishes Faery Fest (UK's premiere Faerie Festival)

I made this....

Still Life and Macro photography

Here is a slideshow I made this week. The music is by the epic Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

I really enjoyed taking these images. I placed the flowers in a product cube and snapped away. I used a cheap £5 converter to reverse my 50mm 1.8 lens and create the macro effect on the second half of the images. Considering how cheap the adapter was I was so impressed with the results. Beware anyone thinking of doing this though as when I had finished with the adapter I became aware that it had jammed onto my camera and no matter how much I tried to twist the ring it would not let go of my precious camera. In the end I needed to purchase a jam jar opener, the end result was the adapter was now unusable, and to be fair i don't know how likely I would be to try it on my camera again after the ordeal I want through to remove it in the first place.

I suppose I'll just have to save up and get myself a dedicated macro lens, the 105 2.8f looks rather nice.

Have you tried out DIY macro photography yourself? I'd love to know how you faired. Please leave a comment below in this blog or a link to your blog post on DIY macro photography.

Look forward to reading your thoughts, not psychically.

I had an absolute blast at this event. The people where all friendly and approachable. The costumes where amazing and i loved how everyone you spoke to had a story to go along with their costume. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves as my words are failing me.

Video's!

Sorry guys it's been a while.

I've been making loads of video's

This is one I shot for Laura Daligan's Wiccan Youtube channel! I love doing stuff like this.

I've also been looking into making video blogs or Vlogs my first video talks you through the making of my time lapse video. I shot it with my iPhone and edited it on the iMovie App. The cross processing effect was done with youtube's new video editing options.

And here's the time lapse video...

Please feel free to follow me on youtube.
