Summary of Abstract

  1. Golden Hinde

    London Trip

    Not my best photo from a tweet-up, but I liked the lines and converted it to black and white so kept the picture.

  2. Stairs crop

    Stairs

    When is a lot of contrast too much contrast? And, am I becoming obsessed with steps.

  3. Reflections

    Sometimes the reflections make a more interesting shot than the original subject.

  4. Through the bolthole colour

    Through the Bolthole

    The first of a series of photos from an Urban Photography course. I found it difficult to find pictures that I would normally take when in a completely unfamiliar environment, but this is closer to my usual style.

  5. Mosses

    Mosses

    Sometimes something you are passing just catches your eye…

  6. Stone Walls

    Stone Walls

    The camera club project this year is not overly inspiring, I do not have any intention of taking part, but, if I did…………

  7. spirals

    Spirals

    At last, there is some daylight out there – time to get the camera out and see what is growing in the garden.

  8. Night Tree

    Tree Silhouette

    Silhouettes can give a different view of something seen every day.

  9. Water

    Flowing and still water can make a good contrast especially if there is a sense of movement and noise.

  10. Receding

    Receding

    Another example of me trying to find something interesting to take a picture of whilst not straying too far from home.

  11. Waves

    A slightly abstract snow scene taking whilst waiting for someone to get ready for a walk.

  12. Blurred

    The World Through My Eyes

    Sometimes an accident turns out to be serendipitous.

  13. Gabions

    Autumn Colours, Reflections and Straight Lines

    Conveniently cut into thirds, with bright colours and a strange depth, sometimes there is no particular reason why a photo appeals.

  14. X marks the spot

    X marks the spot

    More lines, this time diagonal with reflections and a circle thrown in for good measure.

  15. Not quite a textbook case

    Two points in a photo should create some tension, but only if positioned correctly.

  16. Texture

    Form and Texture

    Close ups of leaves can highlight a lot of detail that you would otherwise miss.

  17. Pine

    Shades of green

    A limited range of colours can make a photo feel quite subdued, but, that is something that a photo sometimes needs.

  18. Curls

    Spirals

    Landscape photography is not just about taking long distance shots of hills and trees, sometimes a macro lens is the best option for taking shots of the ‘intimate landscape’.

  19. Pine Needles

    Abstract

    The light was good, I had a camera in my hand and I wanted a different flower shot – instead I got one of my best abstract shots – sometimes things turn out better than originally planned.
