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!!

Is Photography Art?

With an exhibition coming up I had been thinking about what I produced. Yes, some great macro flowers in the studio; yes, some pretty good land/water scapes; but what was my USP? I have been working with a film maker combining film and images, so thought I why not combine images? So with some experimenting here are the first four. Look carefully as at first sight most people miss some of the content; a clue is in the title! Also, the thumbnails cut off some of the image so click on the image and then again!!

Infra Red

I discovered that my spare DSLR is IR complient so ordered a cheap Infra Red Filter from China – it arrived in a few days and as it was a dull day I thought ‘why not?’ so I did!! And these are the results with a little desaturation on the gray ones. It seems as if getting the white balance is the hardest part, and not being able to see anything through the lense, and having to guess the exposure as the meter is not claibrated for IR!! I shall do more of these as they are fun even though they look like slightly strange black and white prints!

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!

Spring – Sprung – Sprong

Or so it seems, still cold, wet, frosty …… but the Snowdrops are out! Also, the nursery had potted specie iris and crocus so I could not resist!! So armed with spray gun, camera, flash and snoot it was time to spend a happy hour or so in the studio. Trying to continue on from last spring of lighting the flowers from the inside but very hard with such spikey plants!! Lots more at Flickr.com
