Storm Franklin Winds

A very windy walk this  morning - not easy to show wind pictorially other than its effects on coastal waters. First attempt - hopefully not too many more occasions to perfect it!!

Silhouette Photography

Toft PhotoGroup ran an evening of silhouette photography ably led by these two combatants, Martin and Paul. We used various colour lights and I have processed them to give different effects. (Notes for future attempts: all images processed with masking plus topaz denoise; 1, 2 as taken, 3 b/w, 4 b/w background dehaze, 5, red background with colour reversal on red/cyan; 6 as taken; 7 as taken; 8 background colour reversal on?; 9,10 as taken)

Lichen Project

A rainy day yesterday so I thought I would continue with my lichen ID and UV fluorescence project. I had collected quite a few specimens and set about taking and photostacking images. Unfortunately my UV torch requires a new battery (not one I have a spare) but here are the ones I did manage. Now to identify them!!

Spring at Chippenham Park

The display of snowdrops at Chippenham Park (Cambridgeshire) is spectacular this year together with many other spring species though the Aconites are less abundant than earlier years and are just about over.

Wide-Angle View of Ely

We had a CCC meet up in Ely plus the added bonus of a Photohunt set by Barry and Sue. I used mostly a wide-angle attachment for my Fuji compact which focuses close though it does then distort at the edges. Here a selection of images - all single exposures except the very last image with is a multiexposure.
