Continuing Professional Development

Last week I was back in Warrington for my second meeting with my Mentor, Damien McGillicuddy, and our model for the day was the beautiful Charlie.
This time we were looking at lighting ratios and how they effect a image. The images below show ratios of 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 respectively. The key light was place at the models right and slightly behind her, the fill light was placed directly behind the camera. The key light remained set at the same level and the fill light was reduced by 1-stop each time to give the ratios.
The final task of the day came as a surprise and was not mentioned before the day. Damien gave us each 15 mins to set up our own lighting and pose the model. I took the first spot while my colleagues went out to plot their own set-up (we were not allowed to watch each other). The final two images are from my 15 mins; the first is un-edited accept for the B/W conversion, the second is the finished image ready for presentation. I hope you like it.

My son the qualified referee

During October and September of this year my sons Alex and Ed undertook there basic refereeing course. They are both very keen football players and play for Clarendon Juniors FC in their respective age groups.
The images below show Ed taking charge of his first match last Sunday, which was an U15 girls game, Clarendon Juniors FC v Worthies FC. He had a great game and was congratualted by both managers at the end of the match; WELL DONE SON.
I hope this qualification will be the first of many for them both.
