Hi and Welcome to Mysnapz, An unashamed showcase for my Photography and art.


Dropped into the Museum of the history of science in Oxford last month, they were hosting a Steampunk art exhibition, inspired by the exhibition I took some pictures in the museum and the exhibition and created my own image Nucleus, the exhibition has ended now but you can still read and see video of the event at the MHS pages.
If you have enjoyed your visit here then please find a few moments to sign my visitors book. Please visit again, I update every month so you will always find new images.
12th february 2010 Thought I would post a few mono images and my shortlist for an animal abstract competition I am entering. Great to do some mono images again I just hope the judges like them, a two week tour of India is the prize for a winning portfolio of 4 images from 4 rounds.
8th January 2010 Start the year with a few pictures taken around my home town, I always find it hard to be inspired by the familiar surroundings of Oxford, so I am always fascinated by how the tourist view it. Over there and Up there are part of a bigger collection of images looking at tourist, while Made by us and Garden art fit in with my ongoing retail project.
1st December 2009 Still exploring old and derelict places for pictures in my Explore series.

This asylum was built in 1906 it was closed in 1994 and has since stood empty, Of all the places I have visited this must rate at one of the creepiest the wind and rain did not help the situation, with water dripping on old carpets in empty rooms, thudding out a slow beat , the hanging remains of false ceilings chiming in the wind and the occasional slamming door, It certainly kept me on edge, I could only imagine what the asylum must have been like and wonder if a few of the inmates where still there enjoying my discomfort.


18th November 2009 I am a bit late with my update this month as promised I have a few more Images from my Explore series, these are from a old derelict house, as you will see it has seen better days I am a little late in finding it. I loved the rooms with their 70s wallpaper and the fireplace boarded up and forgotten becoming a deathtrap for the unsuspecting birds that fell inside and the out house that housed a wonderful old generator soon to become consumed by its surroundings.
4th October 2009 For a few months I have been exploring old derelict buildings, in the spirit of others that like this style of photography, taking only photographs and leaving only footprints.

These images are a combination of HDR and other Photo shop techniques to lift the colours and textures found in these buildings. I have started an Explore gallery with pictures from a wonderful building and local landmark I am told will soon be demolished. I hope you will return in the coming months as I post other images from this and other locations.


13th september 2009 Just back from a few days in Cornwall, after seeing the images in the local galleries I had to try taking some seascape pictures. spent a very enjoyable few hours watching the tide come crashing in on the rocks at Traberwith Strand, if you like them you can get prints in my PhotoBox shop.
8th August 2009 This month I have three Panoramic's for you. These are made up of 24 images, two rows taken through 360'. I use a number of different software packages to help me achieve them, Autopano to search for common points between the images, Hugin to distort and make the image stitch together and finally Enblend to match the exposure shifts between the images, I have also found by using PS Photomerge you get very good results but without the control of other software. Town hall, Workshop, Potting Shed.
9th July 2009 I while ago I took over 500 Smoke pictures in a couple of sessions, this was done in a very still room, the lighting was from a single flash unit which created a slight turbulence in the room forming the shapes and forms in the smoke, finally I have taken the time to select 20 to make a panel of images, if you like the individual images or the complete panel they are available from my shop.
9th June 2009 For a long time I have wanted to visit the H R Giger Museum in Switzerland so this month I have set a new gallery with a few images from my trip. It was a great experience to see his art first hand, and adds another dimension to images I have only seen online or in books, if you're a fan then it is well worth the visit.
4th May 2009 Two images the first Wonderland thought this made a very surreal image with the gothic building and the pink rabbit, the second Pleasure & Delight even in a storm, shot on the beach at Brighton where this ride never seems to stop.
