My take on this image was to show a couple of the photographic clichés that seem to be quite common these days. This image of the moated manor house of Baddesley Clinton in Warwickshire has been produced as an over-cooked HDR picture.

My original thought was to photograph the Lion stamp on the egg and leave it at that, but I also wanted to divorce the stamp and ink from the shape of the egg to a certain extent and so shaded the outer edges. However the actual frame then became unbalanced with too much 'dead' area … Continue reading 31 January →
