I was meant to be out in Soho photographing a young lady this afternoon, but it turns out she’s feeling ill; given how bloody freezing it is today, I wasn’t going to force her out. Plus, it meant I got to stay indoors (what, you can’t see the horrible strip-lights reflected?) and play around with the camera.

After initially snapping my new pestle and mortar, I decided to move on to the far more interesting subject in the room. I’d previously taken one of my favourite photos of my girlfriend’s eye, and decided to revisit the subject. What was hard was coping with crappy lighting and a telephoto lens (to get in nice and close), which resulted in a lot of very slightly blurred shots that needed chucking. Ah well – got a few useable ones that captured some different looks; this one’s probably my favourite from today.

All in all, a good hour or so well spent.
