As the saying almost goes, what happens on stag weekends, stays on stag weekends. However, following the wedding last week of good friend Carl de Souza, I thought I’d stick some of my favourite (and non-incriminating) shots up. Being aware that I should travel light, the whole thing was shot on my beloved Panasonic Lumix GF1 with the 20mm f1.7 pancake lens. Using the built-in “Dynamic B/W” preset for the jpegs while shooting RAW for later options, these pictures are pretty much all untouched and are straight from the card. The only picture I will explain is the shot below, where I’m proudly displaying the “war wound” from a vicious clash with top snapper and challenge-accepter Simon Dawson.
Post macho paint-ball fracas, the weekend was spent at the “Lounge on the Farm” festival in Kent. The names were censored to protect the innocent-ish…






















Sold my GF1 so I could pay for my 5D… this just makes me miss it again.
Cracking shots here Leon. It’s nice to see what you’re shooting personally, as well as professionally. The noise on ‘hushed discussions in a quiet field’ works so well with the flare and back lighting on his face. How do you do it man…
Yeah, I can’t see me getting rid of this until it falls to pieces in my hands! Thanks for your feedback as ever, squire.
