Pine Woods in Full-spectrum Photography

My images using the Full-Spectrum camera  in the pine woods at Sandy on Wednesday confirmed that I was not alone! First this very laid back tree and then all those faces in the dead tree bark - reminded me of a William Blake etching such as the Vision of the Last Judgement. The last image is a bit of colour fun with Foxglove rosettes.

Bristol Abstracts

A few abstracts taken in Bristol on Thursday late afternoon before the rain stopped play. All handheld between 1/50th and 1/8th second just playing with movement, colour and shapes of the water features in Millenium Square etc

Frost Patterns (18th January)

We had a couple of very cold nights before I went to Brighton and these wonderful frost patterns developed on our unheated bedroom window. They made me feel like I am looking up on a snowy starry night in a northern forest!!

Cyanotypes

Yesterday, I shared a day making Cyanotypes with members of Cambridge Camera club. Lots of fun was had doing both wet cyanotypes where various 'chemicals' can be added to the composition before exposing to the sun, and dry cyanotypes done on commercial precoated paper. As so often, it was the detail in some of the images before washing that took my eye.

Four members of CCC visited the Sainsbury Centre for Arts at Norwich UEA yesterday to view the Exhibition of Bill Brandt and Henry Moore's work. A very interesting exhibition showing the friendship and mutual inspiration of the two artists through the war years and beyond. The exhibition and the surrounding are very monochromatic so I spent a little time at the end injecting colour into the surrounding with multiple exposure and then continued this in the afternoon around the campus.

Sunny Sunday in Cambridge

 We went into Cambridge to take images for a Photohunt organised for members of CCC. We had 16 places to identify from a photo and then take our own image from that spot. Most of these are taken travelling between the clues just to record Cambridge on a sunny Sunday in June 2021
