Rocky Road, 1st post in a while

Been quite on the blog and photography. Due to the snow had a late delivery of a new 2tb hard drive. In 20 years of using pc's I have now had 2 hard drives fail, both 1tb Samsungs. Will never use Samsung again.
Todays photo is a little late coming. Had a go at making some Christmas rocky road using the Nigella Lawson recipe. Click here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/christmasrockyroad_90624
Think they came out quite well.

Taken awhile ago used a litho tutorial found here http://istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=49727

Then used a brick wall texture with a radial full layer. Might have a go at another one in the near future.

Jade 25 weeks pregnant

Set up a studio in my living room to get Jades 25 week maternity shot. Used pvc conduit piping for background holder. Used a vivitar hv285 in silver umbrella camera right and a jessops own brand in white umbrella camera left. Triggered from camera by Canon EX430II flash bounced on ceiling on auto. Have been using cactus triggers and saw this technique by a pro shooter who shoots with one large flash and a shoe mounted flash. Exposures where better than I have been getting.
