Treetop Turbines



As I was passing, I noticed the mirror in the hut and they invited me over to take my own photograph in the reflection. I started framing it up, then asked if I could include them in the picture and this was the result.

I was photographing the sea from the railing next to this bench, while he watched me. Eventually I told him how I like his ink and asked if I could take his picture. After I showed it to him we had a quick laugh about our spreading middles.

An exercise in dividing the frame, using the specular highlights on the water to place the brighter part below the dividing line instead of above






Another image from my recce for “dividing the frame” photographs.

I’ve photographed Hove Plinth before, but now from a different angle with more sea and the flight of a seagull. I was scouting the viability of this path for a “dividing the frame” group shoot.

I’m not sure what this dog was looking at, but he maintained this pose long enough for me to get out my camera, get it on and focused and take a few shots. He was very still and focused.



Just happened to see these tulips in a vase against a black wall as we were exiting the gallery and grabbed this quick shot, still with the 60mm macro (90mm equiv), without checking the aperture, yielding the overly narrow depth of field.



It was a beautiful early Spring Day (early April) and the magnolias and rhododendrons were in bloom.



We sat in a hide and gazed through the window slots at this peaceful pond or lake. As a gentl breeze blew across the top of the water, specular highlights shimmered towards us. Impossible to capture the movement in a still photograph, I still attempted to get the magic of the scene.
