Atomic blast

I pointed this direct at the sun just to see what would come out. The red flowers on the bush are really brought out by the cross processing red hue on the Fuji Velvia.

While walking through the park I saw these three, a lady leading two other men walking patiently behind her. And I just thought, ‘one day I’m going to be really old’. It’s something about the look she’s giving me. Like … Continue reading →

I’m reading The Negative by Ansel Adams at the moment and I really wanted to bring out the detail in the shadow with this photo. Unfortunately I blew out the sky and left the shadow quite dark.

The more photos I take, the more I realise you can take loads of photos of the same subject, with very slight changes having large effects to the final image.

I love the crow sitting to the left of the tree. I tried to get closer to him, but he saw me and flew off.
