This is my contribution to the Monochromia project. I thought the Morrisons sign fit quite well with the large M. It stealth advertising. I’ve never tried anything like this before. I learned quite a bit, and watched a few youtube videos, and read a few pages to get this far. The difficult bit was getting the perspective on the lettering to match. Plus not killing the reflections.  in the background. The website url is very discrete. Thanks for the challenge

Bulls Eye

Bulls EyeI took this shot while visiting a friends farm where they raise Charolais cattle.This is a close -up cropped shot. Taken with my Leica M9P and the Summicron 90mm f2.0 ASPH lens I have which is a little underused . However is my go to portrait lens. I decided to crop quite heavily  with the eye as an anchor point to give the shot more impact. I think I have achieved what I wanted to do. I would be nice to read what you think dear reader.

 

It’s been there some time now.

A comment on my last post here about nature taking over made me think of this shot. The Silver Birch in some areas is know as the weed of the woods because it grows so fast. As you can see the car seems to be pleading for it’s removal.

This MG Magnette has, lets face it, seen better days. It’s one of many other vehicles at a “scrapyard that time forgot” just over the Norwegian boarder in Sweden. The place has become very popular with photographers from all over the world, so if you want the place to yourself you have to get there early. By the time I left there were at least a bus full of people there. Some come for the nostalgia others to take pictures. It’s a great place to spend a Saturday morning.
