NEW!! Cheaper, smaller prints on Dotty Gallery

Just in time for the Royal Wedding.....I have decided to offer all Open Edition prints (from the Digital & Medium Format Gallery) on Dotty Gallery, at A4 size for £30.

So regardless of the "main print size", be it A2 or A3+, they will all be available as unframed A4 prints. At the moment this is only an option for UK Mainland, but in the future I will change it so the offer is for everywhere.

So go go go!!! http://www.dottygallery.com/theimages-page.html

Oh it's not really got anything to do with the Royal Wedding, Sorry Willy & Kate

Dotty Gallery is on Facebook!!

So yes, kind of does what it says on the tin but still - I've finally gone through with it and put a page up on Facebook for Dotty Gallery. Still suspicious about the copyright and things so i'm watermarking everything Which i should do anyway whenever i post stuff on the internet). I know i know i'm like an old man paranoid of everyone and everything!!
So even though it's is of course pretty much exactly the same as here, go have a look and become a fan and tell your friends to become a fan and then everyone in the whole world will eventually be a fan!

Becca's Royal Wedding

Everyone is getting very excited and interested in the royal wedding coming up....that or the fact they get the day off work. This is the link to a royal wedding print my good old sis (http://www.beccathorne.co.uk/) has done -

I absolutely love it!! Saw the sketch and print while at her house the other day and loved it straight away. I look forward to seeing the actual lino cut this was done from too!

chick didnt make it, he tried though

A friend had some eggs she was incubating hoping they'd hatch, sadly only one made it. A few were very close but couldnt make it through the shell. Seemingly a common occurance with chickens - sad of course but surely that's a bit of a design flaw? Anyway....as you will know i do find that photographing dead things does usually work out well, not only showing them off well but also provides a good interesting picture. So here you go -

Personally my favourite and the one I think works the best is the middle one. Not in your face but not too subtle either.

Found But Not Forgotten

I know i've said this a couple of times but I found another picture or two........well actually that's a bit of a porky pie - I didnt find them or forget about them, they are just pictures that at the time, when i had finished any post production work I wasn't 100% that I liked them or that they looked any good. So those pictures got left, not deleted no no no, just left behind. Like a puppy at Christmas, or an elderly relative everyone's decided "meh" about, or the shirt you've bought in a panic just because you thought you needed one then got home and decided doesnt quite fit properly......ummmmm....
So yes this tiny collection is of pictures that at the time i didnt like but now i look at them again i think - "yeah there is something I quite like about that". They might not be amazing but they arent horrible to look at!

May have posted this already....my bad if i have!

"In The Trunk"

Another that I've always actually liked, but whenever I show it no one seems to like it. Makes sense I suppose as I could fully see what I was photographing as I went past, and someone else viewing this has no clue! 

Only Me

I've decided to make Dotty Gallery (http://www.dottygallery.com/) a showcase for just my work, for the time being. Michael Pinfold's work can still of course be seen on his website http://www.michaelpinfold.com/

Bluebells

This is a picture I took as a present for my ex-girlfriends mum, so it's a Limited Edition 1 of 1. I hadn't shown off the image before for some reason, but here it is. It was a really tough picture to get because I was trying to get the Bluebells all in focus and the wind was really strong, so then decided to just let the movement happen throughout the entire picture. I think it turned out really well!
