Added aluminium foil at the back section of the DIY foamcore softbox (before the first diffuser) so as to stop so much light leakage. The main body does still leak a little, but it should be a trifling amount now.
The last genre of photography I'll touch on in my review of 2010 is the more arty and experimental, where that hasn't already been covered earlier.
In 2010 I experimented in both the digital and analogue realms. I returned to some of my black and white roots dabbling with pinhole photography, and went as far as modifying lenses. I expanded my skills at digital manipulation and post-processing. I promised myself to do more with the black and white darkroom, but this will have to wait till 2011 now.
My earliest memory of using a camera dates from around the age of five: entrusted with my parents' Zenit E and 35mm and 50mm prime lenses, a school trip to Chester zoo saw me taking photographs without guidance. Membership of the Young Ornithologists' Club (RSPB for kids) cemented the fascination with capturing nature on film.
