I’ve been casting about for a new project and not taking a lot of pictures lately. Hence it’s back to the archives for now. I’m looking at images I failed to keyword in my catalogue – that should also mean I haven’t posted them here before.

Dead Flowers

Alarming Warning

The Power of Repetition

Chairs

Some chairs in the window of a fast-food restaurant, as seen through the lightly telescopic 60mm macro lens (90mm equivalent) with a reflection of the lens in the upright at the centre.

Brighton Blues

You Cannot Erase Us

Eyes

Close-up of a partially torn mural featuring a stylized eye with a vibrant purple iris on a yellow and blue background. — Old Steine, Brighton

I was inspired by some pictures Laura El Tantawy showed us from In the Shadow of the Pyramids at her recent presentation at POST, to start shooting very close up. I got out my 60mm f/2.4 macro lens and started using it as a walking around lens in the street to see what I might come up with. This is an atypical way to use such a lens so I’m really just experimenting to see what I can learn about shooting this way.

Abstract textured surface featuring a mix of dark and light wood shavings against a muted background. — Old Steine, Brighton

A group photo featuring three men; one man in the center with glasses and a neutral expression, while the two others on either side have markings over their faces. — Castle Square, Brighton

Night Walk

A person walking away down a wet street at night, with a pub illuminated in blue light in the background. Several cars are parked nearby and a bicycle is leaned against a post. — Station Approach, Hove

I liked the combination of yellow and blue light in the misty night, with the mystery of the silhouetted pedestrian.

In the Cold
