One of the quirks of doing TTV panoramas and grids is it’s quite impossible to line them up properly due to the angle of shooting and, well, the inherent absurdity of the whole TTV things. Usually I just go with what comes out of the camera and keep the squares in a strict grid, like [...]

A diffused flash

Last night at the Songwriter’s Cafe I mainly shot with the 50mm f1.8 lens but I brought the TTV contraption along just in case. Far too dark to shoot the performers but perfect for trying out a new toy. I recently bought one of these: It’s a Flash diffuser and yes, it’s essentially a small [...]

The newly refurbished MAC seems to becoming a home from home from home. It’s just really nice in all sorts of ways, not least because it opens onto Cannon Hill Park which is also really nice. Yesterday I found myself there as the sun was low in the sky and had a quick jaunt around [...]

Exchanging Stories

These last few days we’ve had the Needle & Thread theatre company in the Created in Brum shop with their Story Exchange.

About

Art-Pete is the blog of Pete Ashton when he's thinking about art. It primarily contains photos and videos of work he's completed in this quest. The majority of his writing occurs on his main blog.
