June
As far as months go, June has been the busiest here on Creative Splurges since January. Even better for me personally, most of the posts this month have seen me experimenting with new techniques, and...

Zebras, Giraffes and Rhinos, Oh My
1/500sec, f/5, ISO 320, 200mm We’ve now reached the last post from my photographers’ trip to Woburn Safari Park back in late 2012, and as you might have guessed from the title, this post is going to be...

More Random Gems
One of the reoccurring issues I have on this blog is what to do with the isolated images I take from time to time. These can be times when I’ve simply only taken one photograph and felt that was...

Canon Experience Day
Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to attend an experience day at Canon’s UK headquarters in Surrey. Put on by Canon, the day featured talks by Canon Ambassadors David Norton and Danny Green,...

July
It’s time for a sudden realisation that it’s somehow August already, summer is most of the way over and we’re already well on the way to shorter days, colder weather and, eventually, Christmas. Okay,...

Freddie in Closeup
I seem to be on a bit of a wildlife kick at the moment. Last month featured a menagerie of safari animals, some birds of prey, and a medley post containing a couple of shots of some of my cats. This...

Lego Timelapses
I’ve been playing about a bit lately with Lego (it helps that my nephew is obsessed with the stuff). I recently decided to combine my love of Lego with my love of Ghostbusters and buy the Lego Ecto-1...

Cornish Seal Sanctuary
I can’t really explain why most of the posts I’m currently putting out have a wildlife theme. It just seems to be one of those things. A lot of the images I’ve been working through in my archive lately...

August
Despite being the same length, August doesn’t seem to have slipped by quite as quickly as July did. I managed to get the same amount of posts out in August as I did in July, which I’m pretty pleased...

Instagram #18
It’s time once again for a little foray into the contents of my Instagram account. I’ve not really been using Instagram a whole lot lately, mainly because my iPhone’s camera is mostly ruined by purple...

Lego Ecto-1
A couple of weeks ago I posted a couple of time lapses of me building some Lego models. At the end of that post I promised some better shots of the properly brilliant Ecto-1 model I assembled. The...

A Taste of Europe
I’m going to do things a little differently with this week’s post. I’ve not long come back from a 2,400 mile road trip through bits of Europe, and as you’d expect I took a bunch of photographs along...

Random Gems III
I’m afraid it’s another slightly cheating post this week. For the second week running I have struggled to complete a post, and for the same reason – being just a few days off of shooting a lot of...

September
How in the name of Greg and his calendar is it October already? We’re three quarters of the way through 2014 already and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. If I have any hopes for 2015 it’s that...

London Fashion Weekend III
I seem to have quite a bit of luck when it comes to winning places on photography experiences. In the last eighteen months I’ve been to two fashion shows and a whole day of shooting experiences at...

Reims
We got off the ferry with six travelling days to get to our week-long holiday accommodation in the south of France. That gave us a decent amount of time to explore Europe a bit, and see some of the...

Party Poppers
It’s a little bit more of an experimental post this week, something I’ve not done in a while. This week I’ve been playing about trying to capture party poppers in the process of firing, using my...

Verdun
After leaving Reims we had just a short hop through the French countryside to our next stop on our road trip, Verdun. We had taken the decision early on to avoid toll roads in the continent wherever...

October
2014 continues to scream by at breakneck speed and is showing no signs of stopping which, I guess, is pretty good actually considering the alternative. Still, there’s only two months left of the year...

Instagram #19
Despite having a new phone so the images I take for Instagram (which, for me, are almost without exception shot with my iPhone camera) aren’t sullied by purple spots and dark splotches I’m still not...
