Backlog: December 2019
Thursday 2nd of February 2023
Finally, the last month of 2019! As with the previous month, finding pictures wasn’t actually a struggle for a change; in fact I had to be quite selective to reduce the choice to just these ones. Even so, three of them are from the same morning fog adventure, and two are pictures I’d previously not really paid much attention to. It’s interesting what a fresh pair of eyes can reveal. This image is …

Backlog: November 2019
Tuesday 31st of January 2023
Autumn and early winter are probably my favourite times of year for photography, which is hardly surprising as it means glorious light available at readily accessible times of the day, as well as trees displaying a wonderful variety of colours. autumn trees in the caravan park bright yellow and orange leaves It’s also wetter, naturally, and this is good for urban photography. It’s a common filmmak…

Backlog: February 2019
Thursday 24th of November 2022
More fog this month, this time on a morning walk around Lound Lakes. While preparing the images for this post, I was inspired by a video I recently watched about the Hassleblad X-Pan/Fujifuilm TX-1, so decided to try cropping the images to that camera’s super wide 65×24 (1:2.7) aspect ratio. It’s certainly a challenge trying to find images to fit, as obviously none of them were shot with this in…

Backlog: January 2019
Sunday 13th of November 2022
January, like the previous month , was quite sparse, photographically. I don’t recall why, exactly – perhaps it was the work involved in bringing up a 1-year-old, perhaps it was just the weather wasn’t especially cooperative most of the time. Or perhaps I was just lazy? Still, grey, overcast and dull weather can make for worthwhile photos if you approach it with a positive attitude. Lowestoft bea…

Carlton Marshes in fog
Saturday 26th of May 2018
Another post with pictures from long after I made them! Getting to be a habit, although I’m not completely sure it’s a bad one: letting the pictures stew for a bit blurs the experience of when I took them, forcing me to see them for what they are in themselves, uncoloured by my memories of the time. I’m mostly serious, but it’s still partly an excuse for not updating my blog. Anyway. Carlton Marsh…

The Peak District: Shatton Hall Farm
Monday 19th of September 2016
For this trip we stayed at Shatton Hall Farm Cottages, converted farm buildings turned into holiday accomodation. The houses are at the end of a narrow lane near Bamford , and the scenery is lovely. On Sunday morning we were lucky enough to get some fog still lingering around even at 9 o’clock, so I didn’t have to get up too early! Once again, a mix of mostly 14mm and 60mm. farm track Orchard Cot…

OCOLOY Week 34
Sunday 1st of November 2015
Rather last-minute this week, but what a productive minute it was! During the week the weather had once again been meh, and so had my motivation, but with Sunday came fog. Fog is always great for creative inspiration, I think because it’s so rare, and so there’s a novelty factor involved. no access gate no access gate tatters on barbed wire tatters on barbed wire Hamilton Road bus stop Hamil…

Fog in the Morning
Monday 29th of September 2014
It’s not often we get fog like this in the morning, so I felt compelled to take advantage of it with a nice walk to the beach before work. lost cat poster bike warning sign bollard on cycle path water tower office Office building in front of our local water tower trees in two layers of fog dewy spider webs beach grass It’s quite an odd experience walking on a foggy beach. beach plant dog walker on…

Fog at Night
Friday 19th of September 2014
Fog has always fascinated me – the way it makes things look is obviously different, but also the way it mutes sounds, and disorients the senses. At night time these effects are amplified further, with large patches of grey that fade out into unknown darkness. lamp post shadow Odd shadow below a lamp post backlit spider web shady alley Fog is great for light rays bright bollards The street lights l…
