GBP Blog: March 2011
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 March 2011. The Next Step (Evolution). When I set up this blog way back in March 2008. I had a very specific agenda in mind. This was to be the place where I would share my day-to-day thoughts, musings and activities so that you might get a glimpse into my world as a professional photographer. Three years later, and I hope you'll agree I've done just that. Certainly judging by the feedback from readers, I have. Then came In The Frame. The result, of course, will be a fuller, more vibrant and...

GBP Blog: I like picture books
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-like-picture-books.html
Monday, 24 January 2011. I like picture books. One of my University lecturers once said that he hated 'picture books.' You know the sort of thing - coffee-table photography books which have little to no editorial in them, instead relying on the photographs themselves to get the message across. I can see his point. I don't necessarily agree, but I can see his point. By now, you will be aware of my Fountain Jam. Book project. I'll be editing, laying out and generally putting this together next month, b...

GBP Blog: Fountain Jam - revealed
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2010/05/fountain-jam-revealed.html
Monday, 3 May 2010. Fountain Jam - revealed. Spoiler alert - this post has nothing whatsoever to do with jam. Although I am rather fond of the stuff! Back in December, as part of my yearly ' Looking Ahead To.' post. One of my bullet points stated "Personal projects - research and develop further; possible exhibition? Well, regular readers will know that I am already involved with the Vobes-Babbidge Pinhole Camera Project. Feedback so far has been really positive, with many kind words which spur me on to ...

GBP Blog: September 2010
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 1 September 2010. DIY - Suction mount. Going through a bunch of files on my computer earlier today, I came across a collection of DIY project images which I'd planned to share with you a while back via a 'how to' post. Well, better late than never. So, one of the fundamental elements of crisp, punchy photographs - much aside from good exposure and composition - is that of camera support. Back in the good old days, long before Canon's Image Stabilization. And Nikon's Vibration Reduction. 1x 1/4...

GBP Blog: Looking ahead to 2011
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2011/01/looking-ahead-to-2011.html
Wednesday, 12 January 2011. Looking ahead to 2011. So, it's that time again - where I put down a few thoughts about what lies ahead in the next twelve months and, more importantly, what I would like to achieve. But before I do, I want to recap on what I said around this time last year. It's true to say, though, that my online activities have come on leaps and bounds this year. The most rewarding and promising of developments have undoubtedly been the creation of my Facebook page. For which I won an award.

My Cochlear Implant Journey: July 2011
http://fumasivil.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
My Cochlear Implant Journey. A blog entailing a deaf user going through the Cochlear Implant Journey. It's now two years since I have been implanted. Can't believe that it's been this long, it was only a while ago that I remember going to the hospital for the operation and coming round from it quite groggy from the anaesthetic. External processors are changing in this fast moving technological times all the time whereas the internal implant stays the same. My Cochlear Implant Journey. A deaf dude's life.

My Cochlear Implant Journey: March 2013
http://fumasivil.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
My Cochlear Implant Journey. A blog entailing a deaf user going through the Cochlear Implant Journey. It's now March and it'll be 4 years since I had my CI implant in May. When I returned from America in September last year, I only returned to Gray's inn road three times that year, and two of them were to pick up spare parts, and one for a remap. I am finding that in quiet situations I am able to have a simple conversation without lipreading or light concentration levels. My Cochlear Implant Journey.

GBP Blog: Big Red Fun Bus
http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2011/02/big-red-fun-bus.html
Saturday, 26 February 2011. Big Red Fun Bus. Wednesday saw me undertake an assignment for one of my long-standing clients. An absolute pleasure, it was a prime example of how working with a simple setup can help get the sort of pictures I and my customers want. This equated to the use of natural light for the great majority of my shots upstairs; below required the use of additional lighting via an SB-800. Flash gun. Using a D3. Although, on occasions, the super-wide 10-20mm. Was brought into play. With a...
