Daily Food – an overdue update April 21st – May 7th
I have recently embarked upon The Dukan Diet so my daily food pictures have changed somewhat, gone are the lovely pastas, breads and daahls and in come endless pictures of hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and chicken breasts! I think that it’s worth a bit of food tedium to have lost 3.5kg so far, so [...]

Daily Food – March 23rd to April 20th.
I’ve just found a whole batch of Daily Food pictures which I had formerly ignored and not posted, so here’s giant batch of my nosh. Towards the end of this batch Peter and I embarked on the Dukan Diet to undo some of the recent damage caused by enjoying ourselves too much! The Dukan involves [...]

Two New Montage Prints
I started playing around with the idea of combining related images into montages a while ago but wasn’t totally happy with the result. Today I went back to the montage idea and was, I think, much more successful. It’s still done in Lightroom’s Print Module but I changed the layout a bit and made it [...]
Cat, Mat and Ball.
I haven’t taken many pictures of mum’s cat, Miso, she really doesn’t like the camera, so I decided not to scare her with it and try for a more graphic arrangement instead!
New Textures Montage
I’ve been mulling over the idea of photo montages/collages for a while now but hadn’t really got my teeth into it. For some reason, my teeth got to work today and I started to look back through my old Morocco photos as they are chock full of fabulous textures and colours which I thought would [...]
Taking photos in restaurants.
Having just read this feature on the Guardian’s Word of Mouth Food Blog, it has set me thinking about why I take photos of my food. I have been photographing my food since pretty much the first day I had my very first digital camera, and through the joys of technology, I can show you [...]

Daily Food – March 8th to 22nd.
I’m still photographing my food every day, but it’s great to be posting them to Flickr rather than here every day! Here’s some of what I’ve eaten in the last fifteen days (click on a thumbnail to see larger or click here to see all the pictures with longer descriptions in Flickr) On the top [...]

Manchester Photo Walk
I had a great walk with a friend round the really grotty bits of Manchester last week, we hadn’t planned to to out which meant that I didn’t have my ‘proper’ camera with me and only had my iPhone. I’ve never gone out specifically to take pictures armed with just my phone so decided that [...]
Making the most of your iPhone camera
Recently I have been spending a lot of time watching video tutorials on the excellent Lynda.com, a site chock full of fabulous information about pretty much every piece of software you could imagine. To keep myself sane while watching endless videos about Long Documents in inDesign, Paragraph Styles, Master Pages and other thrilling things I [...]
Daily Food 35/365 Feb 02 – Bruschetta.
I have decided that it is totally impractical to upload a Daily Food picture every single day, it takes too long and some of the pictures are, frankly, very dull indeed with much repetition. So from now on I shall upload the pictures of which I am proud either because they’re great pictures or the [...]
