Urban art II

This is another of my very early morning shots of the artwork which is to be found on my way to work.
The special lighting comes from the early morning sunrise

Urban Art

This is one of two matching sculptures which stand on each side of the river. They emanate angelic sounds like a choir singing even at this early hour (04:30am) of the morning. In the fog it seems very alien.

Not drawn

Every now and again I see a black and white photo that looks like it could have been drawn by some artist. Just simple lines on paper. When I got home and saw this shot on a large display I got the that feeling that it had been drawn by my camera. The magic ends when I tell you that it is the remains of an old dock in the local river taken early one foggy morning. So just imagine I painted it instead.

Early morning is the time

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

I commute to work on my bike most mornings and I’m lucky that at least half of the distance is along the river which flows through the town.

When I say early this shot was taken at around 4:30am. It’s quiet and there is no one around, you can take your time to compose your shot and I’m not worried that someone will be off with my bike while I’m shooting.

This is an old stone quay I cycle past a lot and I just knew it would make a nice Monochrome shot. It was worth the early morning. You should try it too.

My daughter had her birthday this week and I got her to pose for me. It wasn’t that difficult she does a bit of part-time modelling. This wasn’t planned and prepared so it’s kind of hit and run, but I like this shot.

The small things

Often when we go to a beauty spot we focus on that and not the small details. I saw these flowers growing on a vertical rock face by a small stream near Briksdals galcier.
