Stairway to St Benedicts

Contrary to the rumours that Norfolk is as flat as a pancake, the evidence here shows that Norwich and Norfolk does have undulations. This beautiful set of steps is one of two that links Westwick street to St Benedicts. I wanted to get the classis Parisian feel but sadly not quite achieved that. I was in a rush (never a good idea when doing…

St MArtin at oak

One thing Norwich does really well is a church, not only our two Cathedrals but all over Norwich there are churches that are no longer places of worship but continue to serve the community. This beautiful little church is found on the way and is now a Music school. It was built in the 15th Century and gives it’s name to a local charity…

Abstract vase

Wasn’t sure whether to put this out there but this is about the journey and not just showing the best results. I took this at the end of an not so successful shoot trying to get drops of food dye as they fall into a vase of water (still working on it so watch this space). As I looked down into the vase I…

Stairway to wensum

This park has some great architecture as you enter. These stairs are so solid and for me really interesting. Stone for me always works well with black and white. I did think about keeping the green of the ivy but my editing skill still need a bit of work. Using the saturation tabs to do it would have left green of the moss on…

Swan’s Head

Happy Weekend everyone, I started the weekend and my two week annual leave by heading down to the local Wensum Park to catch the late Friday sun. The river is home to some lovely birds and this beauty was very kind swimming very gracefully and slowly past as I took some shots. I plumped for focussing only on  the head in this image as…

Water in a glass

365#6: Water – These photo’s were by products of another idea I was trying to come out with. I took the photos to try and get the focus right for capturing so dye being dropped into the water. That I am struggling getting the image I am happy with, but hopefully I can be sharing that with you soon. These were destined to just…

Hey Mr Blackbird

Another one couple of pictures I have put on my blog page rather than a post so forgive me as I work to getting used to doing this. These little fellows were kind enough to just hand around long enough for a reasonably good photo.  I love the claws on the chap in the second photo. Both giving me a watchful eye.. but with…

How to make an orange interesting

One of the first suggestions for my 365 was ‘Orange’ for which I could have thought more outside of the box but decided to go for the humble fruit with the dilemma of how to make an Orange interesting. If you have looked at my blog page I am repeating myself. I think for me there were a number of ways, including cutting a…

Celebration

This is what happens when you daughter buys you the most wonderful Mother’s day present. You have to take a photo of it and put it on your website. So much thought went into this and it is a real celebration of the bond that exists between a Mother and her Daughter.

Love by candlelight

Was just playing this evening and quite pleased with this. Another offering for my 365. Theme for this is candle, although I could probably do a twofor, and use this one for love as well. Another desaturated edit except for the red of the candle. Partly because the theme for this is the candle but also red is the colour of love and it…
