Kite Aerial Photography #2 – Trent Park in the Wind
A few weeks after my first failure to get a camera airborne, I had another go in a local park. This time there was enough wind. But I was faced with a different problem – too much wind, and too gusty! The kite went straight up without a hitch. But the next problem was really…

Kite Aerial Photography #1 – Not Very High in Norfolk
For a while now I’ve been wanting to try something I’ve read about for a long time – Kite Aerial Photography. The idea is that you send up a kite, and from it you hang a camera that you set to somehow take photos while it’s up there. This is a record of my first…

Woods
Woods from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. This video is a little different. It’s an analogue affair in a digital environment. What you have is a black and white Super 8 film (Kodak Tri-X) with a Korg Monotron-Delay soundtrack that has been multi-tracked. As I say, it’s a little “experimental” for me.

Rapha Super Cross – Ally Pally
Lots of fun to be had watching the cyclocross at Alexandra Palace yesterday. I took a ridiculous number of photos, and cut them down to just 138 which are in the slideshow above.

A Moody Night
This was taken some time ago near the coast in the middle of the night, with a sea mist coming in. But it was in colour with horrible tungsten lights. It looks much nicer once it’s been taken through Silver Efex Pro. Also, Flickr chose it for their Explore section, which has led to many…

Space, The World, Fashion and Portraits
I spent Saturday catching up on a number of exhibitions that I’ve been meaning to see, but which for various reasons, I’d not gotten around to. And there’s the small matter that some of them are closing quite soon. Sebastião Salgado’s Genesis is the result of a massive multi-year undertaking of the Brazilian photographer most…

Muvi X-Lapse Timelapse Experiements
Yesterday I got hold of a cheap Muvi X-Lapse. It’s basically a device that you can mount on a tripod, and then on top of it you can either place a small(ish) camera or a mobile phone. Then with some kind of intervalmeter software either on your camera or your phone, you can shoot rotating…

Solargraphy
When I was up in Derby earlier in the year for the Format festival, I ran across Leicester Lo-Fi Photography . They were helping people build their own pinhole cameras. So I made one using an old Coke can. I put this camera, gaffer-taped to the wall by the window where I sit, and left…

A Day at Somerset House
Somerset House always has a lot going on, and I managed to tie in three things I wanted to see at the same time this week. Pick Me Up is their annual graphic arts fair which I’ve been going to for a few years now. Each year the curators choose artists for their Selects series…

Pinhole Photography
Today is World Pinhole Photography Day, so I thought I’d have a play with a camera that I’ve had kicking around for a while. Unfortunately, I suspect that it’s because I’ve had it for over a year, and left it out a bit too close to a sunny window, that I got the results I…
