  • Contrast

    Waterfall in black and white high contrast

    When I say I like black and white, not all of my images take it quite so literally. I quite like the minimalism of this, but I am aware that many will not be quite so enthusiastic. It would look good printed large though…?

  • Brook

    Wyming Brook is full of tumbling waterfalls of varying shapes and sizes

    I have previously posted a very dark black and white image from the same location, which is Wyming Brook just outside Sheffield. This one was a bit of an experiment. I took a long exposure with smoothed out water and also one with a faster shutter speed which had a lot of texture in it. Although I don’t personally like waterfall images with a lot of texture, sometimes going too far the other way can border on the surreal. So here I have blended some texture into the long exposure to add a little interest. Hopefully you think it works? Click to see it bigger.

  • Swallow

    This time the entirety of Swallow Falls and another snippet. You can click on either image to see it full sized. One advantage of a country that is always wet is that the waterfalls are normally quite healthily fed.
    Now, if I can work out how to do it, and I have failed consistently for the last two days, there should be a change to the gallery page. Unfortunately I am a little tight-fisted so I am not prepared to pay for the more expensive websites just for a hobby, so I am stuck with trying to push WordPress into doing things it was not designed for. Wish me luck.

  • Falls

    I may come back to Anglesey, but in the meantime… On the way home we called in at Swallow Falls, located between Capel Curig and Betys-y-Coed in Snowdonia. There is a hotel opposite the entrance which makes for a great lunch stop, and the falls are only a short walk from the road. Swallow Falls is magnificent, and I will share an image of the full vista, but in the meantime both my artistic director and I were taken by some of the detail within the overall cascade.

  • Change

    Possibly the last.
    Focusing on the image –
    The haiku “whenever”.

    Let’s be honest, who comes here for the haiku? At the end of the day it is a photo blog, so I will continue to share my images, many of which may be “marmite” images. Some may hate them, some may love them, but if you like the majority then hopefully you will stay. I am not ruling out the odd poetic expression, but it will not be a focus from now on.
    This image is quite possibly a marmite one….
