I was kindly asked to cover the Ipswich Choral Society’s contribution to the BBC’s Choral Ambition scheme – the Nightingale Project – one of the Ip-Art events last weekend. A very enjoyable afternoon, where I even found myself humming along to some songs! Here’s what the Evening Star had to say about it: Voices soared at Nightingale Project

The end of year talent festival at a language school in Germany (Henke Schulungen) gave me an impromptu opportunity to take some candids of the performers… and a chance to experiement with two techniques: black and white and duotone conversion and tone mapping. Here’s an example of each… and more examples when you click on ‘continue reading’ or ‘more’ below.

This year the 2009 Kuk Sool Won European Championships were held in Kings Lynn and I had the great opportunity to photograph a number of the events taking place, from the tournament in the day through to the promotions to black belt and masters demo in the evening.

A small selection of photos for the championships can be found at: http://aneyefordigital.com/galleries/ksw2009 and this includes a small number of promotions for both Ipswich, Mildenhall and London students. Please take a look through the ‘random’ selection and if you think you’ve been photographed (or may have been) then let me know!

Please note the the photographs here are copyrighted but can be used if this page is quoted as its source! I’ll also put up some videos in the next week or so, as I have time.

I had the chance to see my friend’s band, Skin the Fish play at the Butley Oyster at the weekend. The charming country pub was packed with people keen to see the band play what must have been one of their most comprehensive sets! I think they must have covered nearly all of their songs in their extensive repertoire! Please view some of the images above by clicking on them once the page has loaded. Some additional (but basic) shots can be found at http://aneyefordigital.com/galleries/stf_butley/

Best of luck to the band for 2009! Check out their great new website at http://www.skinthefish.co.uk/
