Pulteney Weird

Mono image of the river Avon at Pultney Bridge in Bath.

This post represents a first for this blog.

The original image was captured on my Pixel 2 phone, but this isn't the new bit. However, It was processed in Snapseed running on my Asus Chromebook, which I'm also using to write this post. And this is the first time that I've posted an image using that workflow.

Speaking of the original image, it was made around a year ago whilst on a day out in Bath. We went on a boat trip on the Avon and I made a few images of Pulteney Weir on our return. I processed it in Snapseed using the B&W conversion tool and the contrast filter. I also cropped it to a 3:2 aspect ratio.

Which is all a far cry from my usual, heavyweight process using RawTherapee and Gimp on a Windows PC. But, I have to say that I'm pleased with the results.

Taking an Early Bath

Finally, the Kew series is done. The following images were made during a recent-ish trip to the Roman baths in, er, Bath. 

I should say, because I've probably written about it on this blog in the past, and I would hate to be seen as inconsistent, that I really don't think much of street photography as a genre. But I have a general aim of including more people in my photographs and the baths themselves didn't provide much opportunity for photography, so I decided to concentrate on the people.

Who are you looking at?

I like to think that the couple in the next image - I assume that they're a couple,they're ignoring each other, so its quite likely - are actually texting each other.

Status update: I'm looking at a dead guy's backside...
