Hraunfossar, Iceland
in Photography
This image is shot at Hraunfossar, and is one of the images from last years POADS workshop in Iceland. The waterfall is kind of puzzling. The water just seems to emerge from the riverbank, which is lined with basalt rock; the water flows from a waterfall a bit further up the river and along the basalt rock through the looser material which covers the basalt and pours out of the riverbank here.

"Stories we tell"
in Photography
Sometimes a word can say more than a pile of images. If I say "chair", I am sure a lot of images flash before your inner eye; your mind starts to wander. Sometimes an image can do the same, make you ponder the story behind it, what will happen next. To me this is such an image. Hope you enjoy it.
In memory of Wayne Miller
in Inspiration
Wayne Miller passed away in May this year, and in this portrait, "The World is Young" by Theo Rigby, Mr Miller talks about his life in photography.
“From the horrors of war to the complexities of childhood, Wayne Miller has captured intimate moments of life on film for over 50 years.”
Pilgrim's Way Lindisfarne
in Photography
This is an image from Lindisfarne, or Holy Island, which is a tidal island; the island is cut of from the mainland at high tide. The view is towards the mainland, and the posts you see on the right mark the Pilgrim's Way leading from the mainland running across the sands, exposed by low tide, over to the island. The posts are about 4 meters tall, and the difference between high and low tide may exceed 4 meters.
Wind farm
in Photography
This is a shot from Northumberland. Driving along a small country road we came across a wind farm, with wind turbines were popping up on both sides of the road. I am not sure if the small format on this web page does the image justice, I think this needs to be turned into a big print.

Reflections
in Photography
Keeping it simple and doing a high contrast black and white conversion to keep the water dark, and clipping the shadows slightly to get that black, oil like look.

More Office Buildings
in Photography
The glass facade of one building acted as a mirror for another building nearby. I had to tilt the camera back to get the reflection of the other building into the frame. I like the way the keystone correction emphasizes the slightly aggressive posture of the mirrored building. Perhaps I should edit out the fluorescent light on the right. It breaks the pattern, but it somehow feels a bit distracting.

Office Buildings revisited
in Photography
This is a location I have visited a few times, and here is a slightly new take on a scene a shot last autumn. This time I decided to move a little to the left and make the shot wider.
Concrete Glass and Steel
in Photography
The contrast between the straws and the surrounding buildings caught my attention. In the jungle of glass, steel and concrete these straws just seemed out of place, yet made an image where I though none was to be found.
