Band Photography in Suffolk - The Lupin Sessions

On Friday, Nick Green and the as yet unnamed group of musicians based in Ipswich (who incidentally played at the Scurrells' Wedding Reception) met for a recording session at the Lupin Road studio.

Some of the following images will likely be incorporated in some way into a forthcoming CD release. Don't worry, you won't be hearing any shutter clicks or other camera noises in with the vocals, since I was only shooting during practice runs and between recordings.

The entire shoot (42 images) can be viewed here.

Watch this space for more album artwork when the band have their on-location photo shoot.

Misty Moonlit Flatford, Suffolk

Back to Flatford, Suffolk for this shot, taken one cold Sunday evening in December 2005. The mist was eerily hanging over the landscape! My tripod proved essential for this low-light landscape shot.

Technical Details:
Bronica SQ-A + PS 40mm f/4. Fuji Reala film (120). Tripod. 8 seconds @ f/11. Selective burn and dodge layers and toning in Photoshop.

Seafield Bay, Brantham

More old landscapes from East Anglia.

This photograph was taken one cold December bank hoilday in 2006, when I joined a group of friends on a walk in the area of Brantham (near Ipswich).

The light that day was incredible. Unfortunately I couldn't make full use of it, since moments after taking this photo, my camera seized up!

Toned using a customised 'Gradient Map' layer in Photoshop.

Technical Details:
Olympus OM-40 + Zuiko 35-70mm f/3.5. Fuji Superia 400 film (35mm). Hand-held. 1/500th sec @ f/11. Selective burn and dodge layers and toning in Photoshop.

Tattingstone

Continuing on the theme of posting older images, here are a couple of photos taken in Tattingstone, here in Suffolk, not too far from Ipswich.

These Tattingstone Landscape shots were taken about 5-10 minutes apart, back in 2004, with my old Olympus OM system, near the famous 'Tattingstone Wonder' (folly). Behind the tree in the first shot, on the hill, these two old crates just sat there, looking rather sorry, begging for a portrait.

Toned using a customised 'Gradient Map' layer in Photoshop.

Technical Details:
Olympus OM-40 + Zuiko 75-150mm f/4 lens (tree shot) and Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 lens (crates). Fuji Reala 100 film (35mm). Hand-held. Selective burn and dodge layers and toning in Photoshop.

Barrow Bay, Derwent Water, Cumbria, Lake District

Recently I posted a couple of Lake District photos. Landscape photography is something I haven't done a huge amount of recently, but I do have a few slightly older ones to share, too. Some were shot digital, some on film.

Today's photo is one taken at a small bay on the Derwent Water. Photos from this particular spot are always nice, but I wanted to bring out the choppiness of the water early in the morning. Back then I had a medium format Bronica SQ-A with the widest available lens, the 40mm. This is the result, after a little digital post-production.

Technical Details:
Bronica SQ-A + PS 40mm f/4, 8 sec @ f/11. Fuji Reala 100 film (120). Tripod. Selective burn and dodge layers and toning in Photoshop.

Castlerigg Stone Circle, Cumbria, Lake District

This black and white landscape shot was taken at the Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria, near Keswick and Derwentwater. I think that's Helvellyn in the background. It was taken when on Honeymoon last May/June.

Technical Details:
Canon EOS 5D + EF 24-105L IS USM lens at 24mm, 1/100 sec @ f/18. ISO 250. Hand-held. Shot in Raw, processed in Capture One 4. Selective burn/dodge layers in Photoshop CS3.
