"It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important." — Arthur Conan Doyle
I am no perfectionist by far but this quote is what I aspire to.
![[After the Rain]
A bit on the down side this morning, so I headed out to the garden for some therapy. I guess life after some rain is a good way to analyze this point in my life.
I wish I was a snail too… not a care in the world and can go back in my shell whenever I want. Psycho analysis through photography, it’s a good one folks. I guess art really is a way to express one self, even subconsciously.

[I SEE YOU]
Sal, my cousin, asked to take a shot of the Vedetta in L-Isla. I finally managed to make it through this weekend and have sent over 3 shots for his consideration.
The Vedetta as you can quite imagine is a look-out, built by the Knights of Malta into the fortifications to protect the Port.
I will post the other 2 shots here (my blog) should anyone want to view them. Also… follow me on twitter at @illtempered.

![[A night time shoot]
In Support of Umida Akhmedova… please don’t let this stupidity continue.
As I stated at the beginning of the year, by the end of this year I will be conquering light. What better way to do this in the company of Friends. Went out with my dear Biscuits and we met Mr. Fifru for a second time since Christmas. Quite an interesting character which will expand over the rest of the year. Left pic taken by Daniel, right pic by Nicholai but edited by yours truly. I couldn’t take any photos of Mr. Fifru cause I was on the floor laughing at the time.
Special thanks to Melvin for the equipment and expertise! :D
ABOUT Mr. FIFRU
So… we met this guy during Christmas Breakfast… I was enjoying my scrambled eggs when all of a sudden.. he sat at our table, introduced himself as Mr. Fifru and simply ate with us… he has become our good friend and agreed to meet us every month as long as he gets his tea with him. He would like us (biscuits) to take him round our island and discover it… rigorously by night!! My fellow biscuits will add on to the story.. so watch out for their contributions!!

![[JUMP!]
This is my entry for the JUMP! challenge, a monthly challenge Flickristi have come up with to keep our own creative juices flowing.
I wanted to give more angle to the first shot but I ended up using the 50mm so my options were a bit diminished there. Still liked how it turned out. The other frame I went for a starburst motion with the 18-200mm to simulate an adrenaline kick - the same you get when you ride a roller coaster - some call it tunneling of vision. Yes adrenaline does that to you. Fight, Flight or Fright people, it keeps your heart pumping :D

![[To Redeem Oneself]
Ok, Following the last pic I posted, I thought it would be nice to show AC in a different light (rather than the crazed situation I placed him in.
He wanted a “cool dude” look. Got my SB900 out, diffuser on top and bounced the hell out of the flash. - I told you I wanted to conquer light -
And Don’t you forget to follow me on twitter - Link Below

![[The mystery of the Banoffee and the spoon]
My GF does a mean banoffee pie as has been said before in my stream, but AC got too excited and bent his spoon in anticipation. The mystery remains how it was bent though…
Matrix anyone?

I will start posting random things I like on this website if you all would like to follow ;)
I will keep this tumblog strictly for my photography projects.
![[One Cold Night]
So we decided to go for a stroll and try our hands at some strobes before we hit the pub for a pint of blacky. Thanks to Melmif for the help.
Anyway - the above is the difference between a slightly staged shot and a candid. :D
