It's official, I am a blogger. I have been looking forward to doing my blog all week, and although i don't have many pearls of wisdom, i do feel the blog platform is allowing me to reach more people that share the same interest in photography as I do.
Anyway, this weeks images are from the past 2009 & 2010 but they may not have been seen by too many people. Mt Saint Michelle is a 360 degree image made up of 38 images, and although this was just a short family break with very little time for photography I managed to get a couple of good shots from the trip. Ipswich Water Front at night is a 180 degree image taken in the summer 2010. It's an on going project for me, as the water front keeps changing as it is being developed. My favorite building has to be the Customs House as it looks great at night.
My last image is Wolves Wood near Hadleigh. Its a great place for a walk for any keen photographer, both winter and summer. There is so much to see and the light through the trees gives you a really nice green, but equally stunning in the snow.
That's about it for this sunday, but next week we are doing Australia. I found a whole load of 120 slides from a trip to Australia back in 1998 ish , so i'll be posting a few to share with you.
Enjoy the images this week and please leave me some feedback, I know i had 241 hits last week so I am hoping to hit 300 this week.
Cheers Glenn

Well here we go 2011, I have made a promise to myself that I'll be mostly blogging this year.
As well as blogging I must concentrate on my landscape photography and my chosen format.
For the last 4 years I have been working with a panoramic format which involves taking 180 and 360 degree images, It's proved very popular with people who are looking for something different to hang on their walls and although i have made some sales I feel if I provided more landscapes and set up a gallery at the studio i could do better.
I produce two different sizes, 48x14 at £200 or 72x18 at £300. These are all printed to canvas and stretched over a frame as well as being UV sealed.
Of course being based in Suffolk I'll be trying very hard to capture nice Suffolk landscapes, but hopefully I well have the chance to do a bit of traveling around the country, so I'll try and secure landscapes further afield. I do go to London now and then for work, Mostly photographing big wigs at London firms wanting to update their head shots ( It's good money and pays the bills). By all accounts London is still very hard to photograph as you often get stop by police and security, wanting to know what you are up to.
One of my most popular London prints is Liverpool Street which you can see posted. I managed to get this image only because I had another job to do at the station and had a press pass from the station master, so I thought while I am here I might as well push my luck. It's been a good seller and to date I have sold 6 canvas, mostly to city types.
If you are local do come to the studio and see are gallery as we have most of my current landscapes hanging in the gallery, or if you live further afield feel free to contact us.
Thats my blog for now, but hopefully next Sunday I'll have more to say.
