A chance for me to practice random portraits and have a blast at a nightclub.

Laura's first corset. A photo-shoot for self-esteem and fun.

After the shoot, Laura said that she was "paying for it now, but worth every second of it" — mission accomplished, and I'm really pleased with the results.

Market Street, Manchester. 1960s lens, expired film.

1/125 at ISO640 with 600mm f/8 Sigma mirror lens and 2x Sigma EX teleconverter.

Straight out of camera, no crops, no manipulations.

• Giottos tripod, Manfrotto head, wireless shutter release
• 2x YN-560 (full power, sync-connected radio trigger)
• 1x 580exII (full power, Canon wireless trigger)
• 1x 430exII (full power. Canon wireless trigger)
• 1x 7D on-camera flash (1/4 power)

Big Garden Birdwatch set on Flickr.

• Lens from late-1800s
• Camera from 1997
• Film from 2003
• Scanner from 2005
• Exposure in 2011

The negative is actually of fairly high quality, but the scanner does it no justice as it is not a proper negative scanner. Still, the concept works and the expired film is usable.
