MyMonth May

May 2011

After such a busy month, thank goodness I only had to find three images, although it is fair to say they are probably the three most relevant images I have posted for a month in this project so far.

So, here is a quick explanation:

• M - The Golden Arches, or, more specifically, the Golden Arches on the front of one of our Lecturns.

This month has seen me get back (a little bit) to where I am most at home - Presenting to groups. May bought us our first All Hands meeting of 2011, along with Degree Assessment Days, and a number of other courses. Bliss.

• A - Half term means the girls are at home, which could be symbolised by the toy you see here (although our girls are way too techy for yo-yos!)

But no, the yo-yo is to symbolise my trips this months... London and back on a daily basis, Kent, Nottingham, Coventry, Essex, Suffolk - I am glad I collect Shell points. Up and down the country like a yo-yo this month.

• Y - Really pleased with how this one turned out... It is fair to say it is the first shot that I truly planned out.

Check out my additional post for more information on how I set-up and got this shot (along with a couple that I didn't quite get right!)

Why a cocktail?

A couple of reasons:

All Hands = Nights out with free Cocktails - I think the phrase was "Hmmm, this is far from unpleasent" was mentioned a few times. Exactly!

Celebration! - A wonderful wedding shoot with the lovely Ruth & Mark - An absolute pleasure to spend time with...

Celebration! - A welcome to the world drink to wet the head of the super cool Charlie Westlake... Nice to meet you little man!

So a busy month - and now we are in to full-on Wedding Season, so another few busy months ahead.

As usual, I have put together a short slideshow of the images, which you can view here on Vimeo





Until next month... All the best,

MyMonth - April’s Slideshow

April’s slideshow movie is now up on Vimeo.

April Slideshow

As usual, it was produced in Motion (thanks for timing advice from David Morris!) - and for the first time it should scale depending on the device you view it from (from full HD to iPhone).

Music this month was an obvious choice for me: April Skies by Jesus and Mary Chain

Have a great month,

Paul

So here we are with the fourth month of 2011’s MyMonth project.

This month’s selection of images cover a very busy month;

• A spring ‘heatwave’ led to plenty of visits to the park for the girls (‘A’)

• Playing with backgrounds and composites with the girls (‘P’)

• A 3-shot HDR image of the architecture during a brilliant weekend in Edinburgh with Clare (‘R’)

• Caitlin has been to so many parties this month, so we had to reflect that somehow - This one was her idea (‘I’)

• And finally for this month, four bank holidays over the Easter celebrations, and enough chocolate to open our own store, yet I still managed to shoot some before it all went!

The individual images are available to view on my Flickr Page

This, and all previous months are viewable on my Website

Have a good month.

MyMonth March

A really busy month this month…

Three countries, a wedding, and trips out with the family meant that (for the first time) I had more images that I needed!

• ‘M’ from the Geneva motorshow (specifically the gorgeous BMW 1 M Coupe)
• ‘A’ from my trip to Disneyland Paris with Megan (thanks to the iPad for in-flight entertainment)
• ‘R’ from the wonderful Colchester Zoo
• ‘C’ my favourite this month - Taken during out picnic at the Zoo
• ‘H’ puzzled…
