It's only watching it as an adult that I grasped the morality at the heart of the story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1724280161819-N5UYIFQPK25DC38ADD78/D85_6646.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out In Jurassic Park amber is the source of dinosaur DNA. A parallel could be drawn between the scientists harvesting what nature created to make dinosaurs and AI harvesting what humans have created to generate 'art'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1724280154948-84FJ8ED20O6YHK2DIC8N/D85_6638.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out Visiting the Jurassic World Exhibition I took along my Leica iii with a roll of Ilford Delta 3200 to create dark and grainy images that gave a very old feeling. Almost as though they were images found from Isla Nublar in 1993. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1724280154760-EN3MPNIY5D277ETS2LCV/D85_6639.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out Like in the film the first dinosaur I encountered was a Brachiosaurus. Originally many of the dinosaur shots were going to be done with traditional stop animation however advancements in technology meant this was redundant and CGI was used instead. Thankfully a way was found to utilise these traditional skills to augment what could be done with computers and produce a better result. Another important lesson to learn in the rise of AI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1724280157752-R35S5KPSWGI978YGRF6O/D85_6641.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out Light was limited inside but I used it to my advantage. If you were witnessing dinosaurs in real life you probably wouldn't get a clear view either. The grain also helps hide any imperfections in the animatronics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1724280164097-T7G04RVSEBF243RKUNGS/D85_6647.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out Inside the creation lab with images in the background pertaining to the creation of the Indominus Rex.

However I think it works in this image, it adds a sense of panic which is very much present in the story. And also present in the lives of many artists today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/156d4b7a-f98f-47ab-8800-5874d6fa27c3/D85_6652.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out Sadly there was no baby dinosaur to meet on this occasion. Upon arriving I quickly realised that this entire exhibition was much more geared up to kids than even I had expected, but at least it did serve as inspiration for this blog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/25dcf6be-c883-4280-869c-a8e6361dc75e/D85_6653.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out What impressed me the most was the sense of scale you got from these moving animatronics. They really make you understand how big dinosaurs were in a way that looking at bones simply doesn't. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/4e208428-1f33-465d-8fbc-722104b3bea8/D85_6657.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out The grand finale unsurprisingly involved a T-Rex. This was my favourite image on the roll as it perfectly summarised what I had wanted to achieve. This great predator appears as though it is looming out of the dark with you as prey limited by the capabilities of your vision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/5cd04e45-1a21-43b6-bb92-ea2b23bafc59/D85_6651.JPG Blog - Creation is an Act of Sheer Will – Jurassic Park & A Future with AI - Make it stand out The general set design also impressed me.

This is a good example of where imperfections in a film can actually be used to enhance an image. Perfection can sometimes be boring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1723741355429-X4HXJ3ZARSMBYSGDAUS9/D85_3565_g2p0006.JPG Blog - Harman Phoenix 200 with the Leica iii - Make it stand out Considering the colour science of Harman Phoenix 200 I thought the Holborn Bars building and its red brick would make a good subject.

The colours have shifted here compared to the previous image but as the colour science is very different to Kodak and Fujifilm it is not as easy to scan and or invert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1723741355428-4NCHEY2ZDF1GVH3ZVVKR/D85_3561_g2p0002.JPG Blog - Harman Phoenix 200 with the Leica iii - Make it stand out This shot is a good example of how much halation this film produces when you overexpose the highlights, which is very easy to do. Exposing for the highlights would have meant the shadows areas would have been grainy and muddy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1723741358924-3LTU4QEVEBMFSZCKFOHP/D85_3571_g2p0012.JPG Blog - Harman Phoenix 200 with the Leica iii - Make it stand out Shooting wide open to see how well this film holds up with bokeh.

The levels of contrast are more similar to that of slide film than other colour negative films. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1723741368061-V1FCW1OM6I8WRRMSKHI8/D85_3586_g2p0026.JPG Blog - Harman Phoenix 200 with the Leica iii - Make it stand out Enjoying a pint on Bermondsey Beer Mile. Skin tones are rendered very red or orange in a way that isn't very natural and it's also amusing to see halation on skin. An acquired taste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1723741370318-RKR2QTZ0LGYT10A1E0AN/D85_3587_g2p0027.JPG Blog - Harman Phoenix 200 with the Leica iii - Make it stand out An orange and blue subject like this is perfect for this film.

I decided the best way to use the furoshiki was as the base of the image. It hides the box the daruma came in which I cold use to prop up the postcards and bookmark. However as the colours are different on each side, they bleed through in some places. The mizuhiki pin badge could then be placed at the front with folds in the fabric to aid in separation. However I should have ensured it sat flat at the front to avoid those shadows. The settings seem very off in this shot as I was setting up a Fuji Instax Wide shot and this one had better composition than the shot at ISO 64. 1/400s 105mm F22 ISO 800. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1704834470605-6DZ7KENKDBYKA8MW5ABC/_Z8A2929.JPG Blog - Attempts at Product Photography with a Fukubukuro - Make it stand out The daruma was straightforward to shoot but by brightening the area around the base to hide the texture of the polystyrene, it now looks like it is floating in a sea of white. 1s 105mm F11 ISO 64. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1704834471320-6Q8OPV49CQFO077EQ3AQ/_Z8A2930.JPG Blog - Attempts at Product Photography with a Fukubukuro - Make it stand out I only realised the damage on the mizuhiki pin badge (upper right) when I was editing the photo.

I think the angle and arrangement works really well and the lighting gives it a good sense of dimention. I also think the slight texture actually worked in my favour here, it’s almost like a snow effect. 1s 105mm F11 ISO 64. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1704834477544-T0W80Z1DJ1N87E4FXE7X/_Z8A2936-2.JPG Blog - Attempts at Product Photography with a Fukubukuro - Make it stand out I also made this version where I lightened the background to eliminate the texture. It does give the image more contrast but it was a bit of a nightmare trying to get it right and I didn’t do a particularly great job. Getting it right first time in camera make a world of difference.

The difference between the image processed by the Nikon on the left and G2P on the right was shocking when I first compared the two side by side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614721115142-FV3QU818L1PXEGASQXH3/African+Wild+Dogs-3.JPG Blog - Grain2Pixel – A Better Way to Process Film? Shot on Portra 160. The classic Portra colours returned for the image on the right, which was processed by G2P. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614721226647-9CD7460A17L09VTRUGDB/BMW+Rear-3.JPG Blog - Grain2Pixel – A Better Way to Process Film? Shot on Fuji Pro400H. The image of the left processed by the Nikon software has lost almost all of the autumn colouration that you can see in the more colour accurate image on the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614721292183-ON5D94PQ14JJCGMKCXND/Fly+Agaric-3.JPG Blog - Grain2Pixel – A Better Way to Process Film? Shot on Fuji Pro400H. The image processed by G2P on the right has in no way been ‘Portrafied’ it still retains the correct loom you would expect from Pro400H. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614721375580-X9KFSC6F17CNLRKJE7MK/B%26W+Mushrooms-3.JPG Blog - Grain2Pixel – A Better Way to Process Film? Shot on Kentmere Pan 400. The Nikon processed image on the left shows a higher level of contrast than the G2P image on the right but otherwise the differences are negligible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614721430204-BL4AMW0LBEST31DATHYC/BMW+Front-3.JPG Blog - Grain2Pixel – A Better Way to Process Film? Shot on Pro400H. A final comparison showing how much less green (and in this case less blue) the G2P processed image on the right is. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/film-review-portra-160-vs-portra-800 monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1614108756420-TP748GY1T36QNKFCU7P6/DSC_3544_g2p0018.JPG Blog - Film Review: Portra 160 vs Portra 800 Shot at 300mm F2.8 1/500s Portra 800.

Even through glass, with a subject in water, detail is still very good. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/experiments-at-home-flash-photography monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613582809176-9RJMK77J5RBOEU9UYTQF/DSC_5792-Edit.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (3 photo focus stack). Taken using flash, you can compare it with the natural (window) light shot below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613582905468-272TLL7L1YGHOYO7E4U1/DSC_5802-Edit-Edit-Edit.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (3 photo focus stack). I played around with a lot of ideas for shooting the closed box but eventually settled to keep it simple with a front on shot from slightly above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613582936442-XSAIJ9U1J5ZBTRSDYY6F/Pen+and+Box+Window+Light.jpg Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (3 photo focus stack). The alternative open box photo, using only natural window light. This came out a lot better than I expected and shows what you can do even without artificial light. This shot needs more light reflected on the ride hand side to tone down the obvious shadows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613583122714-4MZNG2XADS1ANADURYPH/DSC_5854-Edit-Edit.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (5 photo focus stack). The pen on lid shot is a classic in fountain pen photography, though the angles they are taken at vary widely. A gold reflector was lifted above the pen to give it a warm golden glow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613583152025-HPZ2MK6A5NPGRXYUBS0N/DSC_5866-Edit-Edit.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (2 photo focus stack). The other major shot of the pen is a side by side with the cap. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613583183122-VGG1BF7WH3EW3I7411V1/DSC_5882-Edit.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 1.6s ISO 64 (5 photo focus stack). A close up of the nib is also always important, notice the flash hotspot on the right hand side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613583215057-DDL8PTRPB8FJTBXJF6V9/DSC_5889.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home - Flash Photography Shot at 105mm F16 2s ISO 64. Taken using light painting with a Rotolight Neo 2 instead of the Godox strobes. The main distraction is the long line reflections that runs the entire length of the pen. This would be difficult to avoid based on the shape of the pen, and would require either compositing or extensive photoshopping. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/experiments-at-home-product-photography monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075364584-XVJITI9ZICG4J4QP6324/Watch+Main+Shot.jpg Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 2s ISO 64. The end result of an afternoon’s experimentation. I take you through how I got there below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075408158-0R6T5IHA57KVWIMSAZN9/DSC_5731.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography My as new (Polaroid) extension tubes which could really do with more use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075540249-9FMDFPON5J060VQG6CRN/DSC_5674.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 1/2.5s ISO 64. First shot of the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075573051-QFJTH9WN91GNDAY6UCNH/DSC_5690.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 1/1.3s ISO 64. A slight change in positioning opens up the watch and to make a more visually pleasing image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075614135-LJOWIXM4HAYWTT0LDAHI/DSC_5690-2.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography This overexposed shot highlights just how many dust spots and scratches cover the black acrylic and how well they are hidden in shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075656257-UMPIQLLUT9M8GBBDA8TW/DSC_5701.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography A demonstration shot that shows the closest my 300mm F2.8 lens can focus with extension tubes. It also gives a better idea of how I setup my black acrylic set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075717558-H5E69UE26Z5HFYQ4R2PN/DSC_5696.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 300mm 8s ISO 64. Putting on the first 36mm of extension tubes allowed me to get a lot closer than I could before (see previous image for comparison). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075750992-VANC3ORAJP8HEHMJ5K1X/DSC_5697.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 300mm 8s ISO 64. Moving the polarising filter around greatly reduces the reflection of the watch and altered the reflection of the strap on the right hand side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075871685-AFQBI5XRRM7WOJMH3BAI/DSC_5699.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 300mm 5s ISO 64. The final shot at 300mm using all 68mm of extension tubes. The experience was a lot easier and smoother than I had initially expected from my previous limited usage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613075918178-2Y3E0HCROODF7R52GPG3/DSC_5706.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 2s ISO 64. Back to using the 105mm macro lens. This head on shot produced the best angle of the afternoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613076040622-C9KTYPN2A2H5X9GPM1Y8/DSC_5707.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 2s ISO 64. Polarising filter makes a big difference again but I cannot make my mind up with which I prefer of these two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613076082950-XEFTVPDYNEMR7YAUGHAN/DSC_5718.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 2s ISO 64. Using light painting creates a softer, more even lighting that is very suitable for shiny metallic objects. Notice the shadows that were behind the hands in the previous images have been greatly reduced. The final image with scratches and spots removed is the header image for this blog. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1613076135051-3QI8UQ79JNCSC0GSSSSS/DSC_5719.JPG Blog - Experiments at Home – Product Photography Shot at F11 105mm 2s ISO 64. The final shot of the day. Notice how no two light painting shots look exactly the same, this approach will require more trial and error than setting up static lights. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/wind-back-florida-2015 monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469310834-4W79ATT59R6CQ7OC81TW/DSCF5815.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 One of my favourites from the trip and whilst I would love to say this shot was intentional it was taken by chance as I was recording what we were doing for the blog I had to write for my coursework. I believe we were using small nets to see what small fish were in this stretch of river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469496739-S3P962RM2TL9TRXETOK1/DSCF5570.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 The control room from the Apollo 11 missions at the Kennedy Space Station (NASA). Impressive to look at and came accompanied by a video demonstration and, if I remember correctly, a model of the lunar landing module. This is well worth visiting as there is so much to look at here and it is very inspirational. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469560968-B3IU8X98LMFZCL7NS6B1/DSCF5712.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 I remember how excited I was when I took this as it reminded me of the shots I saw in the old 90s wildlife books I had growing up. The pool of light hitting the snake was perfect but it is a shame the head was in shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469584028-UGBXI5I8QH0QTTS5K64Q/DSCF5924.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 This red-shouldered hawk is a great example of animals that would swoop in close-by and happily sit in one position for you to snap away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469663535-C94QLETBG42KVSG9LJTZ/DSCF5930.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 You could also get very close to alligators, this would have been not much more than a few feet away. They would happily sit on the edge of the water unmoving, but a low wooden barrier and a slope prevented the curious tourist from getting more than an eye-to-eye view. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469701691-9JKEAH7S3KVLG07HJP7Q/DSCF5593.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 Alan Sheperd’s spacesuit from the Apollo 14 mission to the moon.

I was thrilled at the time but my more experienced self is now too distracted by the blown out white on the heron’s forehead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469945983-HYUII871201L45T597TL/DSCF6030.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 I remember this shot taking a lot of attempts and patience as this brown anole only shows its throat flap momentarily. Thankfully I composed this about right with the twigs not overlapping with the lizard in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469773742-HOLXLYOEAOPB7E51F7TV/DSCF5768.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 From a coastal boat trip. This osprey (of which there are many in Florida) has made it’s next on top of a platform warning boaters of Manatees. Despite the small size of these JPG files I was able to recover a large amount of detail from the shadows. The bird is completely dark in the original image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612470017705-JDJS8447X2RZ0FPNSV9L/DSCF5877.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 Alligator gar are very impressive fish to look at for their patterning as much as their threateningly large size. Unfortunately unlike the previous image it was difficult to tone down the highlight in the bottom corner of the shot without making it too obvious that it had been edited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469806207-H0VCP6GLML6Y5DDXF70P/DSCF5969.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 An example of the macro capabilities of this Fuji bridge camera. The warm weather is idea for insect life even in February. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469832698-S7XOZKXLDK96E5M1IZQF/DSCF5798.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 No you are not seeing double this is indeed a double-headed red-eared terrapin. The weirdest and most intriguing thing I saw on the trip, it was nicknamed Pete and Repeat by the Professor Emeritus who looked after it. He mentioned when it was young they would put a credit card between the two heads to allow both to eat without interfering with the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469888704-GD7CGZPAK3S4XZD7ZC5Y/DSCF5660.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 Brown anoles were everywhere in Flordia. Take a step in almost any direction and two or three would scatter away. Sadly these are an invasive species from Cuba and in comparison I saw very few of the native green anoles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469983008-MGMTLIJQRP1D86WHMLYE/DSCF5884.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 When one of the cormorants who happily stood in the middle of the footpath as visitors to the Everglades walked around them. You were literally standing right next to them as though they were a tamed domestic animal. They were not being fed but they did not mind people at all. If you look closely its throat it blurred, and this was it panting with its mouth open to cool itself down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1612469916471-IR298RI9FOZ3BCIQPIPS/DSCF5669.JPG Blog - Wind Back - Florida 2015 There are many species of heron & egret in Florida and the tri-colored herons are one of the more visually interesting ones. Now with more experience I would have paid more attention to framing to get the whole reflection of the bird in shot as well. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/nature-photography-where-it-all-began monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1611851817195-R529C7HPEPMQFKEYRVFD/DSC_5656.JPG Blog - Nature Photography - Where it all Began Shot at 300mm F2.8 ISO 500 1/640s. It is not a traditional shot of a robin in the snow but I was pleased with how this shot of a blackbird in the snow came out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1611852099804-SA58C64ULBD4P9AS6SHJ/002.JPG Blog - Nature Photography - Where it all Began Shot at 300mm F2.8 ISO 360 1/800s.

This was one of those shots that I did not expect to get on the day. This water vole was remarkably calm about people approaching which allowed me to get close enough to fill the frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1611852183699-M2R4TK9HCT19DSZ4BJFF/012.JPG Blog - Nature Photography - Where it all Began Shot at 105mm F3.3 ISO 100 1/320s. A shot from a holiday to Spain (when you could still go on holiday to Spain!). If you like photographing reptiles then continental Europe is definitely a better place than the UK which only has a handful of species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1611852213786-G7VJXMA63C858WQGSGIV/003.JPG Blog - Nature Photography - Where it all Began Shot at at 20mm F2.0 ISO 64 1/640s. One of the experimental shots taken on my super wide angle 20mm F1.8 lens.

Notice how the areas closest to the camera appear more blurred than the areas further away, this is further emphasised by the wide angle lens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601760507704-6S8QQDNV7HBWC1UBGJNV/DSC_4997.JPG Blog - Panning & Capturing Motion Shot at 1/40 F10 70mm ISO 80. Using a smaller aperture allowed me to get more of the frame in focus. Like the previous image, notice how the foreground appears blurred but the background appears static and sharp. Also notice by comparing the two - using a telephoto lens renders less motion blur than if a wide angle lens had been used. https://www.gregoryowain.co.uk/blog/how-to-shoot-expired-film monthly 0.5 2024-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601724414690-KTTUT60M1B76GRHCYCV2/DSC_0557.JPG Blog - How to Shoot Expired Film Shot on Konica Centuria 200 with an expiry date of 06/2002, to get a proper exposure this was shot at ISO 50. The degradation of the film over time has given the image a strong magenta cast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601724766716-T3GT2ZW46368CSCQHI49/DSC_0788.JPG Blog - How to Shoot Expired Film A selection of films that have long since expired. Note the Konica on the left has 24 shots on the roll whilst the one on the right has 36. Both have a box speed of 200 ISO. 135 indicates it is 35mm film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601725423317-V50N34KXCB0IVEYNJY1W/DSC_0797.JPG Blog - How to Shoot Expired Film The expiry date of a film would be printed on the outside of the box. As it is twenty years expired this would need exposing at ISO 50 to obtain a correct exposure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601725535663-U4PJNKUPFK6MYC113VF0/DSC_0790.JPG Blog - How to Shoot Expired Film Relegated to being a shelf ornament, expired Kodachrome cannot be used as the chemicals needed to process the film are also no longer produced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f70796f7f499401bc335336/1601726171306-02Y442NCNYOZJBV3QHDS/DSC_1003.JPG Blog - How to Shoot Expired Film Shot on Fujifilm C200.

Owain Evans Experienced editorial & event & portrait photographer from the UK, currently living in Tokyo, Japan. My photographic journey started at university with my love of the outdoors and I have hardly put my camera down since. Whether it involves climbing a mountain, driving across the country or simply catching the moments that mean the most to you; I always look forward to finding ways to create images that really matter and make a difference to others. My work has been featured in numerous magazines including: Auto Italia, Rolls-Royce & Bentley Driver, Total BMW, MG Enthusiast, Classic Ford, Mini World, Classics Monthly and many others. Previous clients of my event work include: The British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ), University of Oxford, S&P Global, The Japan Society UK and The Diocese of St Albans. Lastly, don’t forget to check out my blog. We are incredibly fortunate to be working with Greg. The quality of his photos speak for themselves and are so valuable for us in promoting our work and reaching a wider audience. Moreover, Greg is very professional, accommodating, and just a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a professional photographer - Dr Michael Rivera King - Chief Executive, The Japan Society
