Monkey busting a nut...

....figuratively speaking that is. :p

lol. He really likes these nuts and is so very persistent in trying to bust them open. Arnold likes them too but he's very protective over them - try to move it from him and you're finger will be Guantanamo'd!

Bokeh and DOF

Hi everyone!

As a lot of you know, I really really like lovely bokeh and DOF (depth of field). But what is 'bokeh' and 'DOF'? I hear you ask. Bokeh is a japanese term for the background blur in an image - primarily the aesthetic quality of that blur. Cheap lenses have poor bokeh while more expensive lenses have very lovely bokeh. DOF is sort of related to bokeh and background blur. If you imagine holding a ruler out in front of you and you focus on the halfway point a lens that has shallow depth of field (either a fast lens with a low 'F' number' or a telephoto lens) would have the middle number in focus but the background and foreground would be out of focus. Whereas if you increased the depth of field by increasing the F number on the lens, then more of the ruler would be in focus. 

This is a recent photo of my Charanjit taken with my favourite lens, the 50mm f1.2. This 50mm has excellent bokeh and very shallow DOF, which is why it looks like it does! There is no 'photoshop blur' in this, it is all from the lens/camera.  

Until next time,

Meet Arnold the Russian

Hi everyone! 

I thought i'd introduce you to a new member of my family.. Meet Arnold. A Russian Dwarf Hamster. He's only 12 weeks old and needs to adjust to his new home but I managed to get some pics of him. He's very tiny but not as small as Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters at the same age, and he'll grow slightly bigger than them too. 

Once I've tamed him a tiny bit i'll take more close up photos for you to enjoy, but until then I'll keep you posted on how he's doing.

Take care,

Sunny :p

Gudge and Sunpreet - pre wedding shoot

Gudge and Sunpreet - pre wedding shoot
Originally uploaded by SunnyPhotography

I was looking through Gudge and Sunpreet's pre-wedding shoot photos and realised there was one I dismissed due to an overly high exposure in certain areas.. even when I dropped the exposure down (as it was captured in RAW) there was still no data in the places I wanted... However, with a bit of tinkering i've gotten a look that I really like - especially with the lens flare (i love naturally produced lens flares!)

Hope you like this shot as much as I do!

A Photographer in training

I was clearing out some of my photo library when I came across a lovely set of pics! 

This is the first person I officially trained up in using a DSLR - she can tell you exactly what settings to use in almost any given situation and has taken some amazing photos! Her natural eye for photography is brilliant - she picks up on things that anyone else (including me) might just miss.

This photo is from May 2009 during an on-location training session. Although we have already shot various events, gigs and weddings together (as a couple) pretty soon Sunny Photography will officially be a 'husband & wife' business. Yes, we're getting married! 

Everybody meet my assistant..err.. I mean Charanjit!

Solar Eclipse - did anyone see it?

This flickr user did, and they made a nice montage of it too!
It was a bit too cloudy to see it over here in the UK, at least I think it was anyway.. But the best place to see it was apparently in India and the Maldives. This photo is by flickr user 'photo maldives', so i'm guessing it was taken on one of the islands there!

Hope you like it
Sunny :)
