  • Ignored

    The vast majority of images from Penmon Point seem to focus (no pun intended) on the lighthouse. However, as you will have noticed in a previous post, the lighthouse comes right up close to the rocky shoreline. This can make it tricky to isolate other than at a really high tide. Often overlooked, there is a marker buoy a little further out which lends itself a little better to the minimalist style of photography. Probably better seen on a bigger screen, and if I have done it right, you should get a larger view by clicking on the image.

  • Empty

    Going back to the theme of minimalism, I took this image a few years ago whilst on a wine tour of Bordeaux. After the tasting, the empty wine glasses on a white tablecloth were irresistable. I have a couple of other images from Bordeaux that will find their way on to the blog until I get my backside in gear and go take some new ones.

  • 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.
