Hunger Games
I was looking forward to seeing this movie at the Odeon as I had enjoyed
the first Hunger Games, got there a little late but still in time for the main film
just missing the adverts for the coming films. I have to say although I enjoyed
the movie it lacked something in the story and had a disappointing ending. One of
those endings that have you saying “is that it then” and thinking so there’s
going to be a Hunger Games 3, that’s fine but can you come back and finish this
one please. So if you’re thinking of going to see Hunger Games Catching Fire you will probably enjoy it
but don’t be surprised if you’re hanging for the next one

Win a Couple shoot
So how to enter this exiting competition and win a free photo shoot, one 9x6 print of your favourite image and £100 to spend on one of our large hand framed Art prints. Well you’ve got to be in it to win it as they say so the first thing to do is to go to FACEBOOK and like the pageTOPSHOTS Couples if you haven’t done that already. Then once you’ve done that send a private message to Topshots couples through the message button and tell us why you and your partner would like to win a Free photo shoot. Now the good thing about that is because you will need to get your partner involved in this competition it’s quite OK to get him or her to send a separate message, that means you can enter twice (double the chance of winning ) nice.
. The next step is me going through and reading all the
messages this is to see who is taking it seriously we are looking for people
who will love and cherish the photos we are going to do together. So if you and
your partner do a double entry no copy & past answers we will only use one
of them we want to know why you doth would like to do this. Where we find silly
or abusive messages they will be removed, with copy & past answers one of
the two answers will be eliminated. When we are satisfied that we have all the
genuine people we’ll put all the remaining messages in a hat and let chance
pick the winner or one of chances beautiful assistants.
You’ve got a week or two to get your messages in the
competition will close to entries on the 20/12/2013
And the draw will take place the following week good
luck.

HALLOWEEN
So you’ve got your fancy dress costume ready for Halloween, for
tomorrow night or the weekend’s celebration. You’ve invited all you friends
booked your taxi and the excitement is rising, the big day comes the taxi arrives
and of you go to meet your friends. It’s a fantastic night lots of fun you have
a laugh drink a little too much, get home a little too late, Happy Halloween.

Then its
next morning you’ve got a bit of a bad head and a fancy dress costume, if you
drink plenty of water that will fix the head but what do you do with the fancy
dress costume, well what about this for an idea. One of the things that
Topshots has become well known for is its fancy dress pin-up shoots. Pin-up shoots
are lots of fun and a good way to get more out of your fancy dress costume you
can have an individual shoot or get together with some of your friends. This is
a particularly good idea as you can all come together and this will help to spread
the cost although the cost of a pin-up shoot is not something that would break
the bank.

LEATHER BARS by GRAFEA
Leather Bags by Grafea
I was just looking for a camera bag when I found this web site for designer bags
this is what Grafea say about their self's
Here at Grafea we love bags. We really do. We love music, vintage shops, blue skies, open sea, the ocean blue. We love camera bags, the perfect shot, capturing the moment.
The story begins when our founder Hari landed in the artistic hub of Manchester, England as an aspiring musician. In her spare time she hunted for vintage accessories and clothing, some thing she had always loved. One of her earliest memories is dressing up with her mothers vintage collection of bags. It was like a treasure hunt and one requires a discerning eye to see the special amid all the junk. Gradually buying and selling vintage items became a full time job in itself. But she found herself wanting something more. To create something special rather than just search for that one thing in the jumbles of all the unwanted. One day she found herself admiring the style, quality and workmanship of a vintage satchel and wondering why they were only in flea markets and charity shops. Was it possible to create a beautiful leather bag, that some one else could appreciate in say 60 or 70 years time? So in 2005 Hari decided to take the plunge and start a leather satchel line herself.

It's Not a Photograph Until It's Printed
Photo By
Topshots
It’s Not a Photograph Until It’s Printed
You may think that’s obvious or you could disagree completely
however with all the different gadgets that contain a camera, today it seems to
be that more and more pictures are been taken but not printed.
So does it matter, well there are certainly more pressing and
important questions than that, however if you are one of the millions of people
with a camera in your phone or some other device, it’s something you should at least
think about.
I can hear you now, “why I just tack a photo on my phone and
I have it with me all the time” that’s defiantly true however consider this,
how many of those photos would you have enlarged, framed and put on the wall in
you front room. Now you may say, “I’ve got thousands of them on my phone even
if I could afford to print them all I don’t have the wall space” also true,
however I’ll bet there are one or two that you love.
Well wouldn’t it be nice to make the effort to tack them of
your phone and get them printed and framed so you can display them on the wall,
as a professional photographer I can tell you there’s nothing like seeing you pictures
on someone’s wall so why not give it a go? You will probable love the result
and if you don’t have a photograph you think you would like on your wall maybe
you could ask a professional photographer to do a shoot for you, he or she will
be happy to do that and will be proud to see his or her work on your wall I know I would be. www.haveashoot.co.uk

Had so much fun doing this shoot with Katie & Matt they
are such a fun couple and we got sum amassing photos. It wasn’t all plane sailing
though there was quite a wind at the time my, assistant Ken couldn’t keep hold
of the reflector and Katie’s hair was all over the place. Even in this photo
she is struggling to keep it out of her face, however it adds to the look of
the whole thing, as soon as I saw it I felt it had the feel of one of those
film noir movies from back in the day ones I made it black & white I liked

DETAIL
A little bit of detail can be so evocative of the mood of
any celebration. This is true with weddings and nothing says celebration like
Champagne, sometimes the details can say everything. I’ve heard it said that
the devil is in the detail however at weddings the memory’s excitement and the
love is there. The time, the thought, the planning, all too make certain
everything go’s to plan. The cake, the flowers, the rings, the list go’s on and
on. Understanding this is the detail in a wedding shoot, it requires the
photographer too see how all these things small as they maybe have meaning to
all the friends and family. How each small thing planned and executed represents
the love and commitment they feel to the bride and groom to make this a special
day, to unite two families.

MODELLING TIPS
Photo By Topshots
If your a new model with no experience it can be very confusing, one of the most common questions I get asked is, how do I get started ?Well it seems you need to get something that’s called a portfolio, every one seems to know it’s name, and lots of people phone me looking for one, BUT (and it’s a big one, specially in these jeans) they don’t seem to know what it is. I get asked, do I do portfolios? I say yes, they say how much will it cost? Well that’s the elephant in the room, I don’t know, because although I have started lots of portfolios hopefully I never finished one.
Let me explain, a portfolio is simply a record of the work you have done.
So ask a photographer can you do a shoot for my portfolio, if he or she says yes you ask can I see your work, if he or she says yes ask if he can introduced you to other photographers, if he or she says yes then arrange a time and place to see it, this will probably be at their studio, but not always. I like to meet in the pub I like the relaxed atmosphere plus there are always lots of people there. This can be very useful when meeting a model if they don’t have a friend to come with them NEVER go to a place you don’t know to meet someone you don’t know, if there’s no one there and no one with you (this will only end in tears) this is why I like the pub, not because I’m a bear soaked alcoholic. If all this go’s well and you like both them and there work' then and only then you can ask how much will it cost? Although by then it probably won’t matter if he or she is the right photographer for you.

Richard III DNA confirms bones are king's
A skeleton found beneath a Leicester car park has been
confirmed as that of English king Richard III.
Experts from the University of Leicester said DNA from the bones matched that of descendants of the monarch's family.
Lead archaeologist Richard Buckley, from the University of Leicester, told a press conference to applause: "Beyond reasonable doubt it's Richard."
Richard, killed in battle in 1485, will be reinterred in Leicester Cathedral.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-21063882

Fantastic Hen Hight
Photo by Topshots
What a fantastic way to start a hen night! When Rebecca decided to have fancy dress at her hen night with a burlesque and pin-up theme, she thought it would be fun to have the girls photographed in their outfits. Pin-up party’s are always fun and this was no exception, there’s nothing like a couple of bottles wine to get any party started. So it’s late afternoon and the girls turn up in the costume their going out in that night. Quick chat about the photos and off we go, individual photos first then the group shots, job done. Off they go to the restaurant for 7.30pm then a night club later leaving me to work on the photos, they each got a print as a reminder of the night which I’d promised to deliver in a few days. It seems to be the latest thing go to a photo studio and have some photos done, it works very well for hen nights birthdays or even just to start a night out. The studio makes a good place for every one to meet and then to go on to the other things that have been planed. Now the photo shoot it’s self as started to become the party. Why wait for a special occasion like an hen night when you and your mates can spend an evening at the photographers, with a couple of bottles of wine from the supermarket and sharing the cost of the shoot can make for a cheep night out. The best thing is that you have something more than just a fat head to show for it, which has got to de a good thing. to contact Topshots click on the linkwww.haveashoot.co.uk
