Just watched The Blues Brothers again on Bluray. Classic! Haven't laughed so much since Hasselblad's Lunar launch @Photokina 2012. Epic! ;-)))

SHAMELESS PLUG ;-))) VANGUARD 53F Flight-case
I hate air travel with my kit - always paranoid about damage. Despite the combined efforts of both UK and French baggage handlers, all of my photo and video kit was transported safe and secure to the Harley Davidson Festival in a cracking Vanguard 53F Flight-case. It rocks. If you need a hard Flight-case for your kit you'll struggle to find better. Highly recommended. ;-)

SELECTIVE FOCUS
My mate David was talking to me earlier today about how I use selective focus in my portraits and asked me to post an example of how I use my Zeiss 85mm 1.4 to achieve it. Here's as good an example as any. (...and a bonus for all you fans of that fool of a took) ;-)))

TERRY EVANS Portrait Session
I had the great pleasure of shooting singer Terry Evans last Saturday. Terry will be no stranger to Soul/Blues fans having sung with Ry Cooder, Joan Armatrading, John Lee Hooker, Boz Scaggs, and many other well respected artists in a career stretching from the sixties. Terry is not only a great singer, he is also one of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure to meet. The raspberry pastries are on me Terry ;-)

A Scots Aye
I'm off 'On Tour' from today, so here's a wee landscape shot from my days of wandering in the high Sierra to tide you over until I'm back. Often photographed, but seldom captured, I'd like to think I bring my own interpretation to it. I'd like to dedicate this to +Jack Vetterli for being a top bloke, and for his constant support of my work on G+. You're a gentleman sir. ;-) Have a great time whilst I'm away guys and gals. ;-)

The Lady In Black
Here we have the lovely Holly featured in a quick test shoot for a CD Cover concept in a rather spiffing Victorian mourning dress. I wasn't supposed to be shooting this for another week or two, but the Artist loved it so much when I showed them it last night that we are now shooting this weekend, in between a gazillion other things. I'll post the final shots when ready. ;-)

A RARE DAY OFF...  for obvious reasons... ;-)

Nice to get a wee break as things have been mega hectic lately. I hope that you are all well and good. Had a great day at FOCUS on Imaging on Monday. Nice to see friends in the industry. A big thanks to Martin and David at X-Rite, Rich and Dave at Adobe, The Angus T at Snapperstuff, Alex at Nikon, Vic at Manfrotto, Sandeep at Canon and all the other lovely folks who have helped to make what I do easier.

Also: Many happy returns to the Lovely +Louisa Catharine Forsyth - fortunately, I'm not ever likely to forget what day your birthday is. ;-)))

Farewell. For Now...
Due to increasing work commitments this will be my last regular post on G+ (until circumstances change). I like posting and interacting with folks here, but I'm finding it really difficult to find space in my work schedule to give the time needed to keep on top of all the social networking sites. In my case, Photography is my full time profession, not social media, and at the end of the day my work must come first for me.

Although I have a very busy (and exciting) diary of professional photography and film commitments over the next 6 months, I will still try to check in as and when I can. Until then, I thank you all for your kind comments, commitment, and support. All the very best my friends. ;-)

Jack Moore | By John G Moore 
I've been working a lot recently with Jack Moore, son of guitar legend Gary Moore. Jack's opening for Joe Satriani at a few gigs on his European tour, (stay tuned for shots) Here's a rather neat wee Promo shot we took recently for the event... ;-) Looking cool Mr Moore... very cool indeed!
Hope that's not too many Moore's for y'all in one post. ;-)
