Through broken glass

Apr 1, 2014Dec 23, 2015 Dave Wares

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

Mar 30, 2014Dec 23, 2015 Dave Wares

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.

Kielder Water.

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.

Opposition

A leftover anti-Jerwood art gallery campaign poster still on display around the fishermen’s cabins, Hastings beach.

The proposal for the addition of the gallery caused quite a fuss but despite a sizable campaign the Jerwood art gallery in Hastings old town opened to the public in March 2012.

I wonder if I could get my work in there one day? 🙂
