James Murray: Think James Photo, Spinning Neon Earlier I posted a shot of a ride...

Hi, Hola, Bonjour , Ciao , مرحبا, 您好, bok, hei and welcome.

My name is James Murray and I live in London, England but love to go exploring in foreign climates. Coming from a design background I look at photography as an extension of this, recording the lifestyles and architecture that make up are world.

My passion for photography started when I first picked up a film camera (wow I miss the darkroom), capturing the moments of my accident filled childhood. I transferred this passion into my studies mixing in all of my design influences to create my own style.

Architecture and photography are the perfect blend each complementing the other. As a HDR (High Dynamic Range) enthuiast, I use this technique to enrich my images.

I have worked as a photographer since 2010, taking photos of the enviroment that I lived in around London, selling images as artworks and to companies. In 2011 I worked for Disney on their cruise ships with the big mouse himself. Onboard I worked as a portrait and wedding photographer, learning new techniques and feeding my travel bug.

Every photo is a memory; there is no better way to capture it then how you see it, not how the camera sees it.

Spinning Neon

Earlier I posted a shot of a ride at the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. This is the same ride from another angle. I am not sure what I prefer. This one shows the ride spinning while the bright neon lights draw in passers by. The tripod I was using had to be modified for this shot to fit thorough the railing of the ride. I saw modified, I mean used as a monopod while it precariously rests on a ledge with me trying to hold it steady to the best of my ability. As you can imagine it took a few tries until I was happy with the brackets.

Now christmas is over its time to plan for New years. We have a rule in my house that it cannot be called that. We call it my birthday for obvious reasons. The bad thing is that New Years Eve is always an anti-climax, especially this year as I will be working on a boat on the Thames.
