Taken, as you might be able to tell, next to the London Eye at night.

A lucky shot, really; I didn't have the lens for this to work the way I would have liked, but it's not bad.

I decided, after a day when I found myself stuck in the house pretty much all of the time, and in which I saw my capacity for excursion limited significantly by something important in my car going boing, to play with the light available to me.

This was taken outside my front door. The only light source is the light from inside the house, which was filtered through a fairly thin curtain.

I like this shot, though I wish it could have been a bit sharper. That was a result of using such a wide aperture for the shot (1.4 so not a huge amount was in focus) and there not being enough light to make sure that the camera was focussing on what I thought it was focussing on - i.e. my right eye. Still, I think it came out pretty well, all things considered.

I made this monochrome through a yellow-green filter to try and disguise the fact that the sclera of my right eye is bright red as I'm suffering an annoying bout of conjunctivitis. Also, the wind was blowing in my face, which didn't help either my eye or the stability of the tripod.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
