Many thanks to my wife for spotting this beautiful field of poppies whilst en route to Canterbury.

Having told me about their location we decided to investigate further, so this past Sunday we took a trip together so I could have a go at getting some photos. The weather for most of the day had been a bit dull and overcast but luckily the sun came out shortly before we arrived.

Having spent some time getting shots with both my short and long zooms I decided to attach my Lensbaby Muse as I haven’t used that in quite some time. I find it’s ideal for more abstract floral shots such as this and in this instance helps to give a more bright and airy feel. I hope you like it too.

Created using Lensbaby Muse loaded with the double glass optic and f4 aperture disc. Processed in Lightroom 5.3.

Hell Revisited

We’re going back in time to 2008 and into the corridors of the now demolished Hellingly hospital. I was just having another sift through my back catalog and decided to do a little rework of one of my old faves. Originally processed in colour (and can be found on my “colour work” page), I thought I’d give it the mono treatment using Topaz B&W Effects. Something I didn’t have back then. I think it gives an even more dark and eerie feel.

This doesn’t belong to me unfortunately but is one of the many beautiful antiques on display at Standen.

I decided to give this picture a more painterly look using Topaz Simplify. I quite like how it turned out. 🙂

London, Borough Market

May 3, 2014Dec 23, 2015 Dave Wares

Again I’ve been sifting through some of my older shots, this time taken on a photo trip to London, April last year. Having only posted a couple to Flickr I found a few more that I though worthy of showing.

So here they are.

All shots converted to mono using Topaz B&W Effects 2 and Lightroom 5.

There are so many wonderful stalls that I would’ve needed a ton of cash and a huge bag to get all the things I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by.

For healthy hair, 2014 Redux

While looking for a picture I shot back in 2010 I spotted this. Being not fully satisfied with my original attempt I decided to give it a new lease of life and reprocessed it in black and white.
