Sunderland Air Show

This weekend was the Sunderland International Air Show and I went down to Seaburn on Saturday and got some great pictures of the plane and helicopters there. Although I should have tried to get some Street Photography images, as I have greatly neglected this genre lately, I got some great pictures of the Red Arrows, the Red Bull Stunt Team and the many other planes and helicopter that took part in the show. Check out my photography page and have a look at the other pictures; https://www.facebook.com/NickDunnPhotography

Arwen Photoshoot

Today I just did a practice photo-shoot of Macara dressed in her Arwen costume. She played the part of Arwen really well due to her slightly pointy eyes and hair and once again she loved being in costume, especially as this time she didn't have to wear a wig due to her recently dyed hair. Hopefully I should be doing a photoshoot with Macara in Jesmond Dene or Alnwick Castle and Gardens which who really add something to a shoot. Jesmond Dene is a great mix of ruins and trees, whereas Alnwick has lots of ivy and a treehouse which who be a great location for an elf of Middle-Earth.

Shields Shoot with Simon

Last week I did a shoot with up and coming model; Simon Barker around South Shields Lighthouse and Skate Park. Simon is a really open and friendly bloke and it was loads of fun to walk round Shields and we both got some great photos at the end of the day. I just thought I'd share this photo with you guys, if you want to see the rest of my shoot look at my Facebook photography page; https://www.facebook.com/NickDunnPhotography

Location Shoot with Lance

I just did my first independent photo-shoot with a professional model. I took some photos of Lance Anthony starting around Newcastle Keep and the High-Level Bridge then we went down towards the Quayside and up to the Sage. Although I'd originally planned sometime else I'm pleased with the way things turned out and it was great to work with a professional model and take some pictures that we can both use. I am slowly posting them on my Facebook page so feel free to check them out. I've also got two shoots planned with alternative models so hopefully I'll shoot something good and post them on here.

The Alibis Gig

Last Saturday I went to see my mates' band; The Alibis at a pub in South Shields called the Sandancer. They were as brilliant as every and I would recommend everyone to go see them if you can; I'll post the link to their Facebook page below this. Although the location was pretty dark and I had to use a very high ISO, I did get some great but grainy pictures of the band. Admittadely I should have shot in RAW not JPEG's but my hard and software are so outdated that I wouldn't have been able to do anything with the pictures. I'm still editing them ATM and I slowly posting them on my Facebook page so for more of the pictures have a look...

Weekend Update

Just another quick update of my Photography. This weekend I've been quite busy; I just bought a new camera, a Nikon D3200 with a 18-55mm and 55-200mm lens and I've just been breaking it in over the weekend. Yesterday I went to the Wallsend Festival, hoping to take some Street Photography pictures but mostly got some pictures of my girlfriend and friends. I then went to my mates' band's gig in Shields and got some great (although quite grainy) pictures of the band members until it got too dark. Today I went to my cousin Matthew's christening and got some great photos there. Tomorrow I'll be on my computer after the gym and will get starting editing some pictures so I can post them on my Facebook page and this blog, so keep your eyes peeled. 

Heather; Vintage Bike

Just thought I'd show you guys the two final images from my "Bikes and Location" college unit. I asked my friend Heather to model for me in a vintage dress using her mother's vintage bike as a prop. The location was Hebburn Riverside, and although the weather and lighting was poor, I was really pleased with the shoot and I was able to produce these final images for my project. I might add some of the other edits from this shoot later, and I've also got some pictures from the Wallsend Festival and The Alibis' gig at the Sandancer in South Shields, so stay tuned.
