This is a gallery for images that I hope will be a little bit different. Maybe a place to try new things, or somewhere to put photos that I feel might carry more of a message than usual. Perhaps it will be where I try to follow the spirit of my photographic heroes, like Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell or Don McCullin? Who knows? But I intend it to be a place open to criticism, and a place to learn and extend myself.
Under a Blood Red Sky
Another experiment from this evening. I'm ashamed to say that I've never really noticed this old church before. I always knew it was there, but never took the time to check it out properly. It is empty now, awaiting permission for it to be turned into residential flats, but I thought it looked very Gothic today under a grey sky and those stark tree branches. My photos didn't do it justice without processing, and a straight B&W conversion wasn't what I wanted either. But I like the juxtaposition of the old dark church and the bustling lights of the modern city below. I'm not completely happy with this, but I hope the red filter has given it a more apocalyptic quality, like a still from a bad horror movie :)
