Have you ever seen video tutorials of the advantages of shooting in RAW, being able to pull back immense detail after you take the shot then try the same thing but are not able to pull back some detail? Well, you cannot pull back lost detail because RAW is not a magic format and still obeys the laws of physics.

Excitement Winter wonderland (Hyde Park, London), there I was and could feel all the excitement within its movements. That I decided to explore with my shutter. Every shot was either at 1/10th or 1/8th of a second, slow enough to capture excitement and fast enough to slow down the moving crowd. Enjoy!

The above Image The above image was the target for today; supposed to be. I wanted to practice a new technique (exposure blending) I heard of earlier in the day but I couldn't because I had somewhere else to be just after the sunset. The technique requires you to blend images with different exposures and I wanted one of them to be with the city lights on, after sunset.

Time Slice I had come across time slicing while surfing the web a few months ago but I was not sure how to pull it off. I was actually scared of attempting it because it seemed too much for me at the time. Recently ( about a week ago ), I came across it again while watching Dan Marker-Moore's " Creating a Time Slice " on YouTube and took it as a challenge. In the video, he spoke about using after effects to create his slices but I have little or no knowledge of that programme so I attempted to create my first Time Slice using Adobe Photoshop. I got my slices from a timelapse project Icreated a few months ago of the O2. It was a successful attempt so I went on to create two more.

The photo gods were  "literally" smiling at me when I decided to go and see Antony Gromley's "Another Place" at Crosby Beach, Sefton. Photo gods.

The Day Begins The day begins. It is supposed to be Time Out with Kimberly but I sited Santa in excess, literally.

Before I ever knew about RAW files, I shot JPEG with my eos 1100d and had shot only JPEGs prior to 2013. What drew me to Shoot RAW was that awesome ability to recover detail in the highlights or to dramatically change exposure without losing detail. Yes, that’s what drew me to shoot raw but not why I found that so enticing. I shot raw because I thought it would make my images appear better as a whole and that I would not have to worry about spending time to learn how to get that correctly exposed shot; that shot that wouldn’t require tweaking a JPEG beyond its limits and losing data as a result.

It was a good day to stay indoors till I saw the light! The Light! Today's time out is with Kesh, (CEO). I Had no business spending the day with him prior to "The Light". He was headed for the city centre (Liverpool) to get some toiletries and make some complaints. Lets begin with him in the living room completing the episode of top gear he was perceiving while he took a look out his window then move on to a selfie in the elevator as we both head downstairs.

Today's images are with; Shevon (Shevy). The day wasn't exactly my cup of tea until the sun gave it some light. We were headed for town to do some grocery shopping and some shopping. Shevy

Perception is a Mirage of Knowledge Time Out with Ziffy Jacobs is a photography session that aims to create images with context; images that project the essence of self and character with reference to time and space.

Always wondered who was the brains behind this awesomeness and I decided to find out today. Its " Fredrik Bond " director from Sonny London.
