Contrasts and Colours

 The bright sunlight on Friday allowed me to play around with contre jour shots using a 50mm legacy Olympus lens which has a very shallow depth of field even at F16 due to the length of the adaptor for the Fuji camera. It produces very contrasty images in terms of tone and colour but with soft out of focus areas. The aperture is not recorded and I forgot to note them but there is not much difference in terms of focus depth between F2 and F16

Madingley War Cemetery 1. Into the Light

The thick mist that we had in Toft this morning had dispersed when I got to the American Cemetery. Most of the photographs were taken at F16  though the first one is f2 and is my favourite one from the set with the out of focus crosses and the dominant sun..

Dorset 11 Lyme Regis

On the Tuesday of our trip, we visited Lyme Regis on a very hot bright day. I mainly concentrated on the people enjoying the location in the strong contrasty light. The artist was perfectly dressed for the location while the young provided entertainment leaping off the cob, canoeing, paddling etc. There was, of course, just sitting enjoying the view and sunshine or a gentle game of bowls.

Autumn at Santon Downham 2

In the afternoon,  it gradually cloudy over giving different lighting to work with. I used an older camera, which will composit only two images together as an average  and a very contrasty 50mm lens. The first image is an example of an old technique - the Orton effect where the first image is out of focus and the second image in exactly the same position is in focus. The second image is a panorama of the confier forest.  The type of picture I had in my mind are images 3-6 where the camera has combines an underexposed ICM image of the forest tree trunks with a bright autumn branch from a beech sapling.

High Contrast Macro

 A combination of my Zeiss Touit 50mm macro lens and a faulty camera that unexpectedly shot jpegs resulted in some very contrasty image that I felt worth sharing.

Lakenheath: Colour Harmony and contrast

On out visit on to Lakenheath on Wednesday, we found a good range of insects and spiders to photograph and, at the time, I was taken with the colour harmony of the Speckled Wood on its grass. Other subjects showed this harmony (Long-Jawed spider, Green shieldbug, Willow emerald, Migrant  Hawker and Spider Araneus quadratus) while some showed colour contrasts (Spiked shieldbug,  Spider Araneus marmoreus and Drinker moth caterpillar
