Thanks for stopping by.
Through broken glass
I found myself taking a number of shots through broken glass at various places around this location.
There’s something about them that I just find appealing plus I find it helps draw the viewers eye through the picture.

Job done!
This location was literally littered with empty spray cans, so I decided to make good use of them and arranged a few for this shot.

Painted
Went on a bit of an explore this morning and found some stunning pieces of graffiti.
This wall was vast, far too long for my lens to fit it all in one shot. So I decided to try to do a panorama stitch, only instead of staying in one spot and panning the camera around, I shuffled from one side of the room to the other. It would be a hit and miss idea as there was no accurate measuring out, it was all done with a bit of guess work and luck.
The resulting shot was created by stitching five photos together using Photoshop Elements 9. Additional work was done to tweak warp and perspective and then the image was further cropped to tidy up around the edges. I then styled the image by running it through Topaz B&W Effects 2 and Lightroom 5.3.
Pretty pleased with how this turned out considering the low tech approach.
Three
Taken August last year during our trip to Nothumberland.
There was some lovely low cloud hanging over Kielder water the day we visited, the light however was just a little too flat for my liking and I struggled a bit to get something that I really liked. This was one of the better ones.
