‘Boom’
‘Early start’
Here are two other pics taken yesterday at the same time as my ‘Images not Words’ shot. All three were taken from the same spot but feature slightly different main elements. Yesterday’s being the crow in flight (see below), one being the jogger and one that focuses on the sun bursting through the clouds. In the end I decided to choose the bird shot for the project as it gives as sense of being free.
Now I have to decide what to shoot today.
‘Untitled 16’
Following on from yesterday’s post, here are a few more I took at Old Roar Gill.
I quite like how these look in black and white.
‘Old Roar Gill’
A birthday party last night meant returning today to collect the car.
With coat, hat, gloves and hiking shoes I decided to wander through Alexander Park up towards Old Roar Gill.
One camera, one lens and a Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod.
Ended up walking for nearly three hours in the mud, rain and hail.
Was a productive photo walk nonetheless.
I think this shot encapsulates the mood.
‘Tidal textures’
With each and every tide comes a new landscape to explore and photograph. Different shapes, different light.
All I need to do is find the best way to capture it.
‘A new dawn’
Wishing you all a Happy New Year from Dave Wares Photography.
Thank you for a great 2015.
Cheers everybody.
‘Alignment’
My second post from Bexhill beach.
The thing that initially drew me to this composition was the arrangement of the rocks in the water but when I looked at the sky, that too seemed to almost mimic the shape below.
I usually like to get down low for my shots but for this one, I moved my tripod right into the water so that just the head and camera could be seen above the water line. It was only a shallow pool however, so easy for me to stand in with my wellies on. Alas, the water did pour over the top of my right boot near the end of the shoot though!
A pair of chest waders will be my next photographic purchase.
To achieve this shot and to get the smooth appearance on the water, I used my new ND8 filter coupled with an ND4 graduated filter to help balance the land and sky.
I do love how the smooth appearance on the water helps to give a sense of calm.
