Reflections on reflections

This post does not relate to any specific photo shoot but to the fact that, from time to time, I realise I am paying as much attention to the reflections I see as the conventional view.  The one above brings a little summer to the winter weather.  As with some of the others [...]

Beachcombing

One of those days when the weather was better than we had expected it would be so we decided to get out in the winter sun. We had not walked along the coast in Torbay for a while so we headed to Broadsands and parked there and walked around the coast to [...]

Two minds with one thought

Rose coloured sky 1

I had a text message from my daughter who lives out of my area the other evening saying there was a lovely rose coloured sky.  I replied that there was here also  and I’d just taken some  photos.

Winter light

This goes back to the start of the month but I’ve only just had time to deal with these ones.  They were taken crossing Dartmoor in later afternoon light.  I think I will let them speak for themselves.

They are a little noisy compared to some maybe but the colours and light [...]

A walk on the beach

The plan last week was to go to the city to do some shopping…  The forecast looked quite good – fortunately my partner is tolerant (and likes the coast too) so we headed off for a walk in some rare late Autumn sunshine.

The contrasts in light and colour looking roughly west [...]

Towards the dark side

(and for those who know my sense of humour this is the dark side not the far side!)

Early on in the photography course I exchanged emails with a fellow student where we agreed we were being drawn to the “dark side” of photography. Del may wish to comment ( ) however [...]

Colour

The course I am doing has made me look at photography and my photography quite differently.  Driving can now be quite awkward – I sometimes see things I want to take a picture of .

A little while ago the week’s assignment was to find “colour” – bright and not necessarily identifiable.  Two of the [...]

Autumn colours at Dartington Hall

I’d been looking at getting out to try and catch some real Autumn colours for a while. I was wondering about Westonbirt Arboretum. I have been there before but it is quite a trek for me. Equally it was apparent from comments on the photography course that, at times, the photographers there [...]

Back from a break

Just back after four days mostly on the South West Coast path between Minehead and Woolacombe.  With something over 400 images to sort through it will be a day or two before I can get what I want on here and elsewhere but I thought I’d put on a taster for now.

Dawn in Torbay

The forecast was for a clear dawn so it was up early and out to catch some dawn light.

It was not as good as last time (I’ll post those images another time maybe) but we did catch dawn & some early light.  Some of the images may get used on the photography course as one [...]
