Who's the Weakest Link !

Thursday night is" Curry night "

Well about once every 2 weeks.
It's a good excuse for the boys to put the world to rights....
by the way heads up to Chris....a " The Weakest Link " winner yesterday !
Thursdays Curry was paid for out of his winnings.
Cheers Chris.
I had fully intended my next post to be about this weeks Curry Night with a piccy of my " Chicken Passanda with Spinach and Onion " to illustrate it.
But as hard working photographer balancing work / young family / wife, dashing out the door
( me not my wife ) i completely forgot my digital compact !

Not even my Blackberry has one.

So without pictures to post ( maybe next time ) and it's also on a kind of takeaway theme this caught my eye this week.....



........made me laugh.

a note to ones self ........... always have a camera to hand.

enjoy

Photography @ " The Brewery "

Here we go then with my first post:

It was a new venue for me last week http://www.thebrewery.co.uk/
photographing " The Mobile Awards" held in London, UK.


These are the Industry Awards for guess what? mobile phones and their various network suppliers, Orange / Vodaphone etc.

Overseeing the event was Omid Djalili


an Iranian stand up comic who seems to pick on anything and everything!
especially photographers working in the audience, we seem to be fair game for any comic!
10 or so Awards in there's an award called "Shop Idol" this is for the best of the best of the shop staff! you know the ones you see behind the shop counters.


A few more awards and the evening moves on.
Soon it's down to the finalist, and the winner of " Shop Idol" is......
Wow!


Last few shots to do of people having fun in the sponsors areas..........


and back to the PowerBook, burn CD's and away... home by 2:30am!!!!

What’s 250thf8 all about?

Well my name is Simon Hargrave, I'm a professional photographer and I'd like to introduce you to my very first blog @ 250thf8.
This aims to be my personal photoblog where I introduce you to the highs and lows of a location photographer ( and some self promotion as well )
I intend to post pictures ( clients willing ) of my commissioned work with links / postings / ramberlings about Life, Curry night and my own personal highlights of the web.

But first,

Below are some grey step wedges, as a quick calibration guide. For the best monitor setting please adjust your brightness and contrast so that you can distinguish all the single grey tones from one another


If you can see the image and see all the grey steps my first post works.

Great!

So here i go....
