The final crop of the image from France.. going in tight allows the connection between the seated figure and the cattle to be seen better, also the flies buzzing around the cattle heads.

kings mill river in winter
Again think how the lines lead the eye. Think I should change the figure on the bridge's coat to red!
time
I have been neglecting my blog recently but I have decided that from now on I shall try to post at least every week from my flickr site. You have been warned.

French scene 2
Small details such as the stockings hanging on the makeshift line and the cat in the window add detail to this street scene.
Duilhac sunrise
Sometimes you just have to get away, put on your photographers head and look for a few photos. Here it was an early morning with the sun streaming down the valley. The three old bells were the silhoutted highlight I needed.
Belclair cattle go home
The great advantage of bridge cameras is their adaptability and speed of use. Whilst out walking I always carry my camera in a bag at my hip on my belt. Here, all 14 if us saw the old man and his cattle come around the corner but I was the only one fast enough to get the camera out, turn it on, compse and capture the image of the backlit group walking up the street. The other old Frenchman on the right just completes the scene.

towards Hornsea
It is funny how photos split people. I and a few other photographers love this but most non photographers don't.
Bridlington Harbour sunrise
Even when you are called out at 6 am, go and watch the sunrise (and capture it).

Poppy Heart 3
I am getting into macro pictures of flowers which are just simply beautiful when you get up close. In order to concentrate the eye on nthe stamen and pistil I have zoom blurred the surrounding flower in photoshop.

dew pond above Wetwang
A panorama of three pictures. Notice that it has a dome on the horizon, some of which was there naturally and some was due to the lens effect exaggerated by the stitching and panning. There was really no way to get this view in one shot but the panorama of three does give the open countryside feel very well. I like at least, which is all that matters!!
new leaves
Playing with photoshop is real fun. It can create some lovely photos (if you have the right picture to start with, have the vision to see the hidden image and know how to be able to get there).
Hope this is OK by you all. If it is, then I have done my photographer bit correctly.

pale amayllis 7b
Rather proud of my messing around with this photo.
Showed it to a group of friends the other night and and they were divided on whether it was an improvement on the original or not.
That is what I like to achieve, controversy and discussion and people thinking and communicating.

daffs 3
sometimes you get a bit fed up with taking the same old thing and try something different. Sometimes it works, sometimes not......

tunnel and bridge 2
Or the longer lead in, suggesting the rail lines but I couldn't get that and the daylight view through the tunnel
tunnel and bridge
Choice time. Which to prefer? This is the closerpicture, more of the frame is filled, Lead in in slight green, a view through about on a third, and a repeating frame of the second arch.

tree and pond
I have take innumerable pictures of this tree and dew pond, in the snow, in the spring, in the summer, at sunset, reflections of the tree in the water etc. I just find it aesthetically pleasing somehow. It is in the fields behind our house about 5 minutes walk away.
Today the wind was stiff, the sky had puffy clouds and the atmosphere could only be called fresh.
You can't hear the lorries and motorbikes roaring down the bypass from the photograph.
You can't hear the birds singing.
You can't feel the wind on your cheek and neck.
You can't smell the odour from the dog food factory on the industrial estate upwind.
Enjoy the photograph for any emotions, feeling or senses it does engender in you.

horse print
I actually took this on Sunday at Skipsea beach. I am only publishing it to see how this blog thing works and it may well disappear as soon as I get a few more pictures taken.
Welcome to my blog
Well Erik has set me off on a future of blogging!
This is one for photos which I have taken and I particularly like.
I will start posting as soon as I have taken something worthy of this site. It will be at infrequent intervals, not too far apart hopefully.
Hopefully I will enjoy seeking, seeing, capturing, presenting and publishing images which can elicit a feeling or emotion from you, the viewer.
