Harvesting Time

I have some pictures in the Harvesting Time Exhibition at the Tamar Valley Centre Gunnislake – the exhibition runs until the end of October.
These are the four main images – there is a fifth which tells the story!

No Flowers, just a tree and some docks!

Lots of other things have been going on so just a tree and some shots around Salford Quays, Manchester. All taken on the G9 so not the best quality. But I was travelling by train and weight was the main thing!! The dots on the crane wires are starlings……

Jazz and Boats!!

A sunny (for the main) day spent wandering around the Barbican for the Jazz & Blues International Festival and the Classic Boat Show. A great time – nice lunch at 3.30 at the B-Bar, met a few friends, heard some good music and had a drink or two as we travelled by train!!

Sunset on the Tamar

So, my generous friend with the boat said ‘we have done sunrise, how about sunset?’ and the tide was good so off we went! The sky was just right, the water was very dirty but that added to it! Then as we got to the time of pink clouds and orange skies the sun was fronted by thick gray clouds – never mind – some of the water and reflections are fun!!

Hightide and Sunrise on the Tamar

A very early start and early mist flowing down the Tamar. A friend said how about just catching the spring tide for an hour or two. So off we went (not been up that early for ages!), nearly wet feet getting to the dingy, but fantastic light and drifting mist. The tide dropped several feet before we returned for a splendid breakfast!! lots more at www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover/sets/72157627421331509/

Outdoors and in

With mixed weather this week I have been picking single flowers from the garden, and photographing them in the studio. Also been on a couple of walks in and out of woods and along the river Tamar with the sun spotighting a field and a tower. A mix of straight mast and bendy tree with white daisies below was a nice challenge. Into the woods and the Anti vibration mechanism on the new lens worked well plus for a change I uped the ISO to 500 with hardly any degrdation! More at Flickr

A few more Flowers

I have bee uploading onto Flickr – Roses have got great acceptance from Princes Grace Rose Garden Group! Any way, I have been trying to work out what to do lens wize as my 18 – 200 is not doing what I want and so I have been only using prime (none variable) lenses – quite a challenge but FUN! I grew the Arum Lily, it was a very late planting and has done better than the first one I grew!
