Whats On Her Mind

Taken at Dorest during summer 2003 with my Nikon F60 film SLR camera. Wonderful dramatic scene with crashing waves and high winds with a beautiful girl sitting on the rocks utterly lost in thought and calmness.

Time and Tide Silhouette

Fun on the rocks at Lyme Regis 2003, with the sea lapping against the rocks and the sun offering a wonderful golden light against the sea dampened rocks. With careful footing and strategic placement I waited for the perfect wave. Occasionally life yields a little bonus or two, this was such an occasion as just before the wave hit, my sister’s attention was drawn away from the camera, offering me an un-posed natural picture. Taken with the Nikon F60.

Preoccupied Portrait

Personally I love this quirky shot of my little sister. She portrays a wonderful deep thoughtfulness with a sprinkle of mysteriousness. During my Leicester day trip in August 2008 I stumbled upon a really colourful weathered wall and wondered for quite some time how to best capture it. Thought it best to use it as a nice textured backdrop. Shot at 35mm f7.1 for 1/100second. This shot was originally in colour however I believe it carries more character in grey-scale.

Calm Through The Wood

Another shot from the Peak District hike (2006). Here the trees provided a perfect natural frame for the calm waters in the background. One could almost sense the tress quietly observing the calm waters before them.

Pocket Park Fungi

Small delicate grouping of mushroom form fungi. Found on a late August day 2008 while strolling around a small pocket park in Leicester. The area in which these were found was entirely populated with various shapes and colours of fungi, quite marvellous. Shot using my Nikon 50mm fixed lense at f5.6 for 1/50second.

Marble Cross of Contrast

Setting out for an afternoon of long awaited photography I decided to pop by the local grave yard, the shot was taken at 3.22pm and by then the February (2008) sun was casting a wonderful golden light. What attracted me to this little scene was the contrast between the marble stone and the rich colours of the greenery. Some mist or rain-droplets would have made this shot magical. Taken with my Nikon D70, fixed 50mm Nikon lens at f5 for 1/50th of a second.
