Photos and occasional pomes

  • Fishing

    Sitting on a branch
    Relaxing in the sunshine,
    Waiting for a fish.

    I really like the Adamsky effect as a method of removing distractions for a more minimalist look. Not pure photography, but then what is? I have seen several methods for doing this on t’Interweb, and have settled on an amalgamation of a few. Maybe I should write a tutorial, but then people might think I know what I am doing. Can’t have that.


  • Alone

    Still fields and quiet.
    Sounds deadened by soft white snow.
    One stands out alone.

    Looking back it seems I have a few trees in the image collection, and several minimalist ones at that. Snow or fog both work well. We have not yet had snow this winter, so this is one from last winter, taken at Strelley Hall in Nottingham.


  • Stone the Crows

    A murder of crows
    May not lead to a murder.
    But you never know…

    Not sure that two is enough to make a murder, but I could hardly whistle up a couple of spares. So for this purpose two is a murder.
    Just a happy chance encounter along the banks of the canal in Bude.


  • Sentinel

    Cold and so alone.
    A sentinel in the mist
    Waiting for the sun
    .

    Less is more, more or less. A misty frosty morning in the park.
