MMX: Curiosity

This is another image that was taken on the Long Mynd. We were just finishing the walk and the sky was starting to darken over and rain looked as though it was on the way. Descending off the Mynd I had the feeling we were being watched and looking up on the hillside, I saw … Continue reading MMX: Curiosity →

MMX: Sheep and Mist

This was taken at the start of a walk on the Long Mynd in Shropshire. As Janette and I started the walk along Carding Mill Valley, I looked up and saw the hill to our left surmounted by wisps of cloud or mist. Near the top was a group of sheep that were grazing on … Continue reading MMX: Sheep and Mist →

MMX: Attingham

Continuing my series of blogging some of the images I am considering for my 2010 yearbook MMX.On a visit to Attingham house I was really taken with its clean lines and form. The light just happened to be right in providing contrast and form to the building and so I used the E-620 and 14-42 … Continue reading MMX: Attingham →

MMX: Baths and Brooms

This is another image taken at the Black Country museum with my E-620. There are many shops in the living museum set out as they would have been many years ago, and they all offer great photo opportunities. This particular shop appealed to me because of the different goods in the windows and hung outside … Continue reading MMX: Baths and Brooms →

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 →
