New website

I’ve moved my website over to fotokay.co.uk. Click on this image to visit the new site.

Here are some pics from my six day snowboarding holiday in Bad Gastein, Austria. The mountains were so perfect looking, the panoramas all seemed so fake. The first 3 days of the trip were spent on the slopes (Pistes) of … Continue reading →

Apple Triptych

10 Oct ’10

Just quickly threw together this triptych of an apple I’ve had sitting around for a while. It had a certain photogenic quality, and I needed to capture it before it started going rotten. The fruit on the right is a … Continue reading →

Thanks to the images I took (link) for my mate Jim over at bugexplorers.co.uk, I got in touch with a guy named Keir who sells ghost mantids over at his website ornamentalinsects.com. He wanted professional looking photos of his mantises … Continue reading →

How to make Baklava

15 Aug ’10

I loved this dessert growing up, and ate it often in Pakistan. I hadn’t had any in years, though, and was inspired to make some through my embarrassing addiction to the Facebook game “Baking Life”. I looked at lots of recipes online … Continue reading →

German Rose

14 Aug ’10

Following on from my sunflower post, after growing tired of shooting the sunflower, I found a bouquet of roses that was given to my girlfriend for her birthday. Having the macro lens mounted on my camera, I decided to take … Continue reading →

Snail Photoshoot #2

14 Aug ’10

Yes, a few days ago, I rescued another snail from my cycle-path. This guy was also quite small, but was much more content to stay in one place – such selflessness for my art! Well, a freshly washed piece of … Continue reading →

Carnegia Gigantea

5 Aug ’10

I’ve tried many times over the years to grow plants, with little to no success. If given healthy plants from friends, they die within weeks of coming into my possession. It’s not through lack of sunllight or water, as I … Continue reading →

Infrared Photography

It’s raining in England again. Is our long, hot summer over already??? On my cycle back from work tonight, I swerved to avoid running over a very small snail in the path. After progressing a little way further along, I … Continue reading →

Photoshoot – BugExplorers.co.uk

Went over to visit my mate, Jim, who blogs about insects over at bugexplorers.co.uk. This was a good opportunity for me to get out the flash equipment and macro lens. This was an exercise in patience, as I only own … Continue reading →

Project 365

1 Aug ’10

Having bombed out last time on my 365-day self-portrait project in 2007/8, and failing to pick things up at the start of the year with my 2010 project, I figure it’s “third time lucky” with photo projects, and will now … Continue reading →

Bristol Harbour Festival

1 Aug ’10

It’s been a long day. It started with a visit to my GP (general practitioner – a doctor) to investigate some rather bizarre (and severe) stomach cramps I’ve been having for the last few days. Being given the clear, I … Continue reading →
