Life of the Monks at Quarr Abbey, Isle of Wight. 1982

I visited Quarr Abbey on the Isle of Wight several times during 1982 to photograph the life, worship and work of the Monks. Sadly there only about five left there now. These pictures have never been published. For the technically minded I used Olympus OM-2s and 28mm f2 50mm f1.4 and 135mm f2.8 lenses with Kodak Tri-X Film often pushed to 800.

Very interesting video by Australian Wildlife Photographer Joshua Holko on Canon's new 200-400 f4 lens at Luminous Landscape. It looks superb and I for one will be buying one to compliment my 300 F2.8 L IS.

Level 42. Pictures of the recording of Guaranteed Album

photographs of level 42 recording the album guaranteed from Patrick Eden Photography on Vimeo.

In 1990 Mark King asked me to come up to his Summerhouse Recording Studio in East Cowes, Isle of Wight to take photographs of Level 42 recording their "Guaranteed" Album. I was using Olympus OM4 Cameras with 28mm f2, 35mm f2, 85mm f2 and 180mm f2.8 Lense, with T32 Flash. The film stock was Fujichrome 100 and ektachrome 400 pushed to 800 Asa. A great experience and I had the pleasure of watching guitarist Alan Holdsworth in action. Time to put the cameras down and watch a master.

Book Project.



Just got a sample of the book I am planning and rather impressed with the print quality. It is excellent. Just need to refine some prints and to tweak the design/wording. Pictures Here

Fascinating insight. Photography affects online sales.

Fascinating insight. Photography affects online sales.
"However the most important insight from the survey was that 84% of people had decided not to buy something online, because the product image was not good enough.
