johnloguk > 16.6.09 - "Because the Night" It's been a while since I did any night photography, it isn't that easy when it doesn't get dark until about 11pm. I took lots around dusk, which I normally prefer to total darkness, but in the cold light of the morning this is the one I prefer. It is an iconic view, one I've done before many times, but no two shots are exactly the same after all. I'll post some of the others as I get chance. Have a great day!
johnloguk > 17.6.09 - Caught in the spotlight This is another shot from Tuesday night, but I was still working on it last night. The guy was walking his dog, and I suddenly realised that he was going to go through the glare from the floodlights. I was disappointed with the original, because I didn't have chance to set it up properly and there was some camera shake. I decided to go with an artistic feel rather than a natural one and I hope this works. I used the watercolour filter in Elements on top of a B&W conversion and a simple frame. Thanks for the wonderful comments on yesterday's Cathedral shot, it is one of my favourite views and I never tire of it. This was taken at the opposite end of the Cathedral, where the lawns and trees create a very different atmosphere.
johnloguk > 7.11.09 - Lamplight Thank-you for the wonderful response to my ghostly collage yesterday, I hope it encourages a few people to try something similar for the first time. The original version of this image was taken at the same time, but I thought it would look better with a "ghost" walking up the steps. Last night I went back and took a few shots with me in them, but they didn't quite look how I wanted, something was missing. I eventually worked out that what was missing was the rain on the flagstones, giving a nice sheen in the lamplight. So I decided to re-work this image as B&W, and added a dark vignette to give a more claustrophobic atmosphere.
johnloguk > 4.4.09 - Old View, New Growth OK I've used this view before, but it was such beautiful morning today with brand new growth on the willow tree and bright Spring colours..
johnloguk > 18.5.09 - Secret View This is another shot from my rainy photo walk yesterday afternoon, but I like it so much I just had to share it on the Dailies. I was walking along a very muddy riverbank taking photos of the old industrial buildings on the other side of the river, when I turned round and saw the Cathedral framed between the trees up on the hill. I liked the framing, but I also liked the rich colours as though the rain had washed everything bright and clean. I used a B&W version of yesterday's industrial Daily for my Monday Challenge shot here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/7093288_hSxt4#539436712_xQFxH
johnloguk > 4.03.10 - Golden This is from a wonderful walk along the river at sunset this evening, so many photo opportunities in such a short time. The whole gallery is here; http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Landscapes/TAKE-ME-TO-THE-RIVER/11417457_7vXnM#802542190_KRqri
johnloguk > 10.3.09 - Light at the end of the tunnel Thanks for all the kind words and get well wishes about my "flu bug", I'm feeling much better today, a bit washed out but definitely better than I was. I took a few shots in town this afternoon, and this one seems appropriate for my Daily today. I was blown away by the response to my Seasons Stamps yesterday, you are too kind. That started out as a bit of fun to distract my brain from the shivers and shakes I was going through over the weekend, and it is now one of my all time most popular images. Several people asked how I did it, and as usual I used one of the templates in Elements 5.0. I keep being tempted to upgrade my software, but there is so much in humble Elements that I've still not discovered. The blurred edges in this image are also from the photo layouts and themes in Elements. The B&W conversion included increased contrast to give it extra punch.
johnloguk > 29.6.08 - A Heath Spotted Orchid. Back to Whisby Nature Park today for my Daily, the same place that Steve and I visited last Thursday. It was still pretty windy, which made wildflower photography entertaining to say the least, but it stayed dry until I got home. I have just created a gallery for other shots from today, and I will add to it on subsequent visits to the Park, you can find it here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/5283916_hXRBX/1/321977522_aT4kT#321977522_aT4kT I don't know enough about wildflowers to know how widespread these beautiful orchids are. I have seen them before, but this is one of the best specimens to date. This is only a bog standard 200mm lens, not a serious macro, so I'm really pleased with the result. I've not had chance to look through the Dailies yet today, so now I'm going to spend a little while catching up :)
johnloguk > 8.8.08 - Monster Rising Beijing might have had a very spectacular Olympic opening ceremony, but we had this :) This actually developed into a very spectacular sunset later, but I've got lots of nice sunsets already, and not many of them include an alien monster rising below a halo of ice crystals in the stratosphere! So now it is all clear. That storm front yesterday really was the precurser to an alien invasion :) There is a close up of the "monster" here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4053411_yY5Qg#347762913_Afagd-XL-LB Yes it has been a long week, and now my brain is in weekend meltdown, I'll be OK by Monday....
