Harbouring a Grudge

This is an image of the seawall at Watchet harbour, made on a recent(ish) visit.

 

Eden Reject

A couple of images from another trip to the Eden Project. I've made images like the first on numerous occasions, and I'm not so sure about the second image, but here they are anyway.

Leave It All Bee-hind

 

Another image of a bee on our lavender - probably one of my favourites - and I final reminder of the summer as we move into autumn. 

Pulteney Weird

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.

Swanning Around Shapwick II

 

Another image of a swan made at Shapwick NNR. For some reason, I failed to mention how much I like the image in the previous post - in fact, I think that its everything that I've been trying to capture in all the years that I've been making images at Shapwick.

So, here's another from the same set. It took me a number of tries to get it right. I was working at the very far end of the zoom range and trying to get an acceptable depth of field, so this is the only other image that was usable.

Yet another image from Shapwick Heath NNR.

Beachy Head

 

Another, and final, image from the Brean Down set.
