Hyacinth Bucket


I'm afraid that the image pipeline has dried up a bit recently. This is largely to do with the fact that my spare time isn't my own at the moment - I'm having to spend most of it sorting out my father's estate.

Another reason is the decision that I mentioned a few weeks ago, which involved swapping out my A100 for my A550 for landscape photography. The simple truth is that I haven't taken a decent landscape photograph since.

So, I've decided to present an image that I made several months ago - back in march in fact - whilst the hyacinths in are garden were in bloom. At the time, I'd decided to experiment with alternative tonings - other than my usual sepia tone, that is. The image itself was taken with a really shallow depth of field and overexposed to blow out the background and simplify the composition.

Unusually for me, I added a border. I had some intention to get the thing printed to fill a large green picture frame that we've have sitting empty for a while. The events took and unexpected turn and the idea was forgotten.

I still have the image as my desktop wallpaper, however. So maybe the idea will come to fruition sometime soon.
