Kieran Turner's photos

My first attempt at playing with the D700's built-in double exposure capability. The auto-gain is helpful but the main lesson was to avoid overlap. I've cropped out Mike's shirt which was very distracting where the two met giving a very solid black triangle in the middle of the bottom of the frame.

Mike posing for one of the double-exposures I was playing with. This is absolutely as close as the 70–300mm will focus.

First attempts at getting life from an old Polaroid didn't go so very well... I wasn't doing so well myself having failed to observe I was still in aperture-priority mode not auto, hence the over-exposure of Mike's face. Getting to know a newish camera and a brand-new lens!

Monarch of the Ginsters.

Another play with the Lomo add-in I'm playing with in Lightroom, although with the settings low, and some softening afterwards. This shot didn't seem to lend itself to full Lomo impact.

...alive, alive-oh! Naughtily learning how far away I can be and still catch people, with the 300mm lens. I don't really approve of "spying" or "stealing" shots, but it was fun to sit in one spot on the beach for a while and see how much I could catch without either moving or being noticed! Semi-Lomo effect is a Lightroom add-in that I'm trying out for fun. It spoils the authentic atmosphere of a sunny day on the beach but at the same time it makes a relatively flat photo more arresting.

Not perhaps framed in the classically accepted way, but if I'd known that the X1 has a widescreen photo mode at this point you'd actually have got all of Bennett from elbow to fingertips. As it is, you get Claire centre-stage, so all's well with the world.

It's all anticipation at this point... at the Goodwood launch for the Mongol Rally, raring to go, ready for anything! ;) You have no idea (unless you've ever tried to do it) how ridiculously hard it was to persuade flickr to upload these in reverse date order so that they make sense in the photostream as well as the set.

To receive the documents destined for... well, just Poland as it turns out.

...with a pretender for the Land Rover G4 challenge, judging by that paintwork!
