The fifth in a series documenting the erection of the new Worksop cinema using an iPhone in HDR mode

A garden fairy taken with the Olympus EP2, toy lens and +10 macro adaptor. Her head was positioned to one side of the frame and the background considered to give a nice softness.

My Olympus EP2 and Toy lens fitted with 10x macro lens provide more fun as I played around in the kitchen. I was shooting surface top still-lifes of various kitchen things, and then poked the camera into the kitchen utensil draw.

When I was young I took a job delivering Yellow Pages (telephone directory) in my spare time in the Wadsley area of Sheffield. I was paid something like 7p per book to deliver. and it helped fund my photography while I was working in retail.

Another shot taken with my current favourite lens...the toy lens with a macro adaptor attached. The focusing and halation / aberrations is wonderful for macro work. I love just moving the camera around slowly to obtain focus point. In this example.

A tin of purple paint with the lid off. The light caught the rime and scattered across the paint creating an interesting abstract pattern that I thought was worth recording. Pentax K20D and 100mm macro lens.

Another self portrait, this time using the iPhone with a fisheye lens attached. It's really cool lens and I've had a lot of fun with it so far.

A parcel arrived today from Burning Shed containing my order for Steven Wilson's deluxe edition of Grace For Drowning. I already have the media book version but thought this would be a nice item for my collection

I'm embarrassed to say this is my first ever viewing of a sunrise in Derbyshire. I was put off many years ago when I cycled from Hillsborough to Fox house to do my first sunrise and there was thick cloud and the light was awful.

Another week passes and not much noticeable advancement. I will continue taking interval shots until the project is finished...and then I'll go a watch a film. Taken with the iphone and hdr camera app
