dusk – obBLOGato

Porthtowan

Our final day as a group (26th May) and we ate dinner together at the Blue Bar down by the shore in Porthtowan.

Bird on a Log

This was a carefully composed shot and it looks it. I then waited for the bird to take off and while the composition is a tad less balanced, I think it may still be more interesting:

Lyme Regis is also the setting for John Fowles’ great novel, The French Lieutenant’s Woman (Meryl Streep was in the movie, also quite good) and this dusky, silhouetted self portrait in a beachfront shop window reminded me of it. I’ve now posted 6 times over 2 days just to cover a single day of our excursion. It may be a long month.

And, dig this: I’m in the process of cleaning up my Capture One catalog and came upon this image I don’t remember shooting a little over 15 years ago:

Blood Orange

We left Paris on the EuroStar at a dusky late afternoon.

English Dusk

A little over 12 years ago, on a wintery February day, I last took the EuroStar to Paris. Some may remember landscapes I posted from that trip, where I deliberately kept the shutter speed slower to bring some motion blur into the images, yielding a soft, impressionistic effect. This time, the EuroStar pictures were taken on the English side under a vibrant sunset hour. Click any image to see them all full-sized.
