For once I used just my phone to capture this photo of Molly, aka Doggy Dog, aka Daddy’s beautiful girl, aka Gorgeous, aka Silly Billy Doggy!  Conversion to black and white carried out by Snapseed.

Northumberland

Fields, dry stone walls, and sheep. I love this countryside so much. You can see this photo and more like it in my UK Chronicles series on ijmphotography.net. For those of you who are interested, shot with the X100F, edited in Lightroom.

Hepple, Northumberland

It was a good day to die.  I was at peace.  I was taking in the beauty of my God’s creation, and tying to capture it in some way. 

I didn’t die, of course.  Thank heavens!  But I certainly was at peace and one with the landscape. 

This  is just outside a small village in Northumberland which is known for its gin production of all things!

You can see more from my UK Chronicles here, but be warned, I photographed everything in colour….

Castle near the border in Scotland

A photo from my recent trip to the UK. I was out exploring the Northumbrian countryside with my son and my X100F, and came across this castle… It was a good day.

The Obligatory Bike shot

Black And White Photography, Ian, Photography

I think, as photographers, we all have a fetish for a particular subject for our photos. I have a friend in Denmark that admitted to always taking shots of empty park benches. And if i’m going to be honest with you, he did it rather well.

Mine is about the quasi obligatory bike shot. Firstly in these environmentally aware time, people are wanting to reduce their carbon foot print and their impact on the environment. What better than cycling? Well it means that there are quite a few bikes around town. And it’s just something that shouts out to me. Well this photo shouted so loudly that I just had to press my shutter button.

The photo was taken in Nantes, using the Pentax ME Super (which is indeed pretty darned super) with Rollei RPX 100 black and white negative film.

And if you’re interested, have a peek into my world on IJM Photography. Who knows, you might even enjoy it.
