Green Shed By The Reservoir

The outer limits of Macclesfield in Cheshire — days spent in contemplative study.

The Phantom Lightpainters Trail

More experimentation in the local fields — with LED torch. I’m very interested in the possibilities of this technique and want to experiment with long exposure and mobile illumination a lot more frequently. This could yield some very interesting results in a snowy landscape.

Snow and ice continue to be the dominant weather theme into the first month of 2010. It is all so photogenic and I have such a lot of work to upload and publish here there and everywhere else. More creative work taking full advantage of shallow DOF, manual focus, white balance, and long exposures at night is taking place on an all most daily (nightly) basis now.

I do like these conditions, the light is so much more effective with the added reflectance of snow and fascinating details in ice and snow embellished structures are all around.
