ONDU - BEAUTIFUL Wooden Pinhole cameras!

Here is there kick-starter campaign:

Fantastic looking camera, I really wish I could afford one but far to much equipment I need to improve my working kit has to come first. But I am sure I will be returning to this at some point. 

However if you are Derby photographer (in need of a studio space) or just based in Derby with a pasion for Pinhole or analogue photography you need to keep an eye out here: https://www.facebook.com/thephotoparlour The Photo Parlours Facebook, where you will see any information they post about up coming workshops.

Say NO! to Radleigh Homes!

Say NO! to Radleigh Homes!, originally uploaded by Josh Cunningham Photography.

Via Flickr:
This is the hill where most days, a member of my family walks our dogs, the hill and fields where I spent year playing whilst growing up as did my mum and hundreds or thousands of others. But now Radleigh Homes want to destroy this land by building almost 300 houses.
The hill is actually a lot steeper than it appears in the photo maning run off in to the brook below will call masses of flooding every winter. Now not only are they wanting to take away a beautiful peace of land enjoyed by so many for well over 35 years, but the land also is a home to countless animals from mice to birds of prey.
Say NO! to Radleigh Homes!

“Lunch Atop A Skyscraper” - Brick by Mini Figure

Lego 3.2, originally uploaded by Josh Cunningham Photography.

Earlier today #Lego was trending on Twitter. Which reminded me how much I miss this mini project. Recreating famous images and scenes using lego, but with a slightly different angle or view and possibly (like this one) with the inclusion of iconic figures (if you missed him Jack Sparrow snuck on the crane for lunch)

Below the original image by Charles C. Ebbets

but below again an image I have never seen before, at least not that I remember seeing is another image

shot at the same time. 

Both of these images were sourced from: http://depletedcranium.com/were-steel-workers-really-this-reckless/

If you follow the link the article discusses the health and safety of these images and looks at

whether or not they are as dangerous as they first seem. 

A re-edit of an old image.

A re-edit of an old image., originally uploaded by Josh Cunningham Photography.

Taking a break from what now seems like constant written work for Uni, I decided I would give an old image a new lease of life. With a brand new edit, nothing like the original. And I quite like it. The cow that didn't move, shot on my trusty 400D before I upgraded to the 7D, just starting to rain I decided to see how close she would let me get; the answer, very close.

Exhibition plans....

Well recently I set out to find a lenticular printer, and whilst this was doable the price unfortunately were not. Starting around £750 set up costs for the cheapest I found in the UK raising to around a £2000. With that idea out of the picture I have been left with the idea of creating the images digitally and using screens to display the images or creating a different style of print instead.

Now I am not so keen on the idea of digital images changing, as I think it would look to
gimmicky and detract from the images. However with a type of paper in mind that I have been
wanting to try for a while now.  I plan to do a small test print in the next few days and see what I think when the images are printed on the Kodak Metallic paper and also possibly the Fuji Super High Gloss
which seems to give a similar effect but also slightly different.

If these images come out how I am hoping and work with either of these paper types, the next step will to be choose on the final images, size and style in which they will be exhibited. At present I am
planning on 3 large prints around 24" wide, unframed and mounted on aluminium.

Looking for a printer...

I am looking for away to print photos similar to the one attached this post. 

Where the boxes around the faces disappear and reappear depending on the angle you look at it, or ideally when you view it as you walk to it. 

I was wondering if anyone in the UK has had any experience with any companies that offer this service or something which may work. Ideally I want printed images instead of going for the alternative of using digital screens. 

I am looking to have 2 or 4 images printed but ideally only one of each. But these will be cost & space/layout  dependant between A3 and A1 in size or as near to as possible.

Here is the image:

The only example I can find that shows what I mean(ish) is this one
but without the need to move the image.

Insane gig, she was brilliant and funny, afterwards she hung round to meet fans sign tickets, cd's and merch.
Thats all I really have to say.

Oh and I will do a second post where all the items should appear that I have edited and added to the set on Flickr.
