MMX: Cables and Lamp

This was taken at the Black Country Museum using my Olympus E-620. The cables are power lines for the trams that run through the museum. I liked the way they seemed to radiate out from the lamp post like the outer strands of some giant cobweb. The museum is a great place to get images … Continue reading MMX: Cables and Lamp →

MMX: Dark Copse

As you walk down from the site of the castle in Henley-in-Arden you come to the moat at the bottom of the earthworks, which is now pretty much overgrown. As I walked over the site of the moat, I glanced right and saw a copse of trees and thickets that had grown in the old … Continue reading MMX: Dark Copse →

MMX: Path

Whilst walking through these woods I noticed the light coming through from the end of the path as though from the end of a tunnel. The trees, despite their lack of foliage made a roof or canopy over the path letting only the main light through that permeated from the end of the path as … Continue reading MMX: Path →

MMX: Rig

A shot taken at Cleethorpes on the pier there looking out into the Humber estuary. It was a bright sunny day but very cold with snow on the ground. I used an Olympus E-620 for this shot and deliberately aimed to get the railings in silhouette. The structure out in the sea is a movable drilling rig … Continue reading MMX: Rig →

MMX: Three Trees

These three trees have been featured several times in my pictures and have been taken at different times of the year. This shot was taken in March before their leaves returned and was taken with an Olympus E-620. I also used a 2 stop neutral density graduated filter to enhance the sky. What is really … Continue reading MMX: Three Trees →

MMX: Seaside in Winter

Taken with an Olympus E-620 in Cleethorpes in January. This was part of a series taken for a Viewfinder Club assignment of the same title. The pools and rivulets left by the sea posed a problem as the sun was very low causing the whites to blow out. I like the sparse number of people … Continue reading MMX: Seaside in Winter →

MMX: Battered Defences

Skegness beach in January is cold and inhospitable, but a fantastic place to take powerful images. This one was taken with an Olympus E-620 in the late morning. All around the beach was evidence that winter storms had battered that part of the coastline during the winter. This set of groynes had been demolished by … Continue reading MMX: Battered Defences →

MMX: Winter Tower

Lincoln cathedral taken on a cold but very sunny winter's day with an Olympus E-410. The low sunlight accentuates all the grandness of the 271 feet high central tower. I deliberately kept the contrast high on this image in order to pick out all the detail on the building. A lot of this detail was … Continue reading MMX: Winter Tower →

MMX: Light and Shadow

Taken with an Olympus E-410 at 400 ISO in Lincoln cathedral. This was in one of the side chapels of the cathedral. It was very quiet and very peaceful with just that one ray of light from a high window breaking the gloom. The shadows were deepest in the corner by the pillar, but they … Continue reading MMX: Light and Shadow →

MMX: Watching

This image was again taken at Lincoln cathedral and again it was taken with the Olympus E-410. Walking around the cloisters I lost sight of my wife. I turned to take a photo of the opposite cloister and there was this person looking at me out of the darkness. It made me jump and it … Continue reading MMX: Watching →
