This is the last installment (for now) of images inspired by Jim Roche’s Substack on John Gossage’s The Pond.
On the side street there’s a gate leading into the abandoned and overgrown garden. Once I went in and took a picture or two. On this occasion I discovered it had been secured with a thin twist of metal ribbon. I considered removing it temporarily, but decided to honour someone’s property rights and instead photographed at various angles and over the wall.
Walking down the pier as the eclipse ended, I grabbed this westward snapshot of the setting sun and West Pier, unencumbered by the moon.
We happened to be viewing Hockney’s iPad-drawn mural at the Serpentine Gallery North in London the very day he lay dying elsewhere in London. This tree-house painting was in the garden outside behind the coffee shop and I crouched down to include the flora growing in front of it to make it fit into the scene more organically.
The Brighton and Hove u3a camera photography group went shooting in the Gardens last month and this is one I shot while we were there.
We took another walk to The Chattri, past sheep and cows.
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.
