Piet Oudolf's Millennium Garden at Pensthorpe

Knowlton Church

Knowlton Church is a ruined Norman church which was built in the centre of a neolithic ritual henge earthwork in Dorset.  Canon 6D with in-camera black and white conversion and red filter.

Multiple exposure

I was away in Dorset last week with Charlie Waite on a Light & Land landscape photography workshop.  We had a great time despite the fact that it poured with rain almost all the time.

Surprisingly one of the best sessions was out in the rain.  Charlie took us to a wood and I was experimenting with multiple exposures.  These three examples are unprocessed but give some idea of what we were up to.  The photos were taken in heavy rain in a dark wood with full waterproofs, wellies and an umbrella.  I think we at least deserved marks for dedication.

Photos are taken on a Canon 6D with 9 averaged exposures in each.  I am intrigued by the results and will be encouraged to experiment further.  Other photos from the trip will appear here once I have had time to get Lightroom fired up.

Click on each photo to enlarge and view in full screen if possible - you'll get a better feel for the image that way.

A harrowing night

This farmer was working a night shift, probably trying to get the work done while the weather held.  He turned up with a disc harrow in the field behind my mother's house.  An interesting challenge for that camera.  All taken with a Canon 6D hand held at 1/320, f4 and ISO 16000.

Three bridges

High Level Bridge

The High Level Bridge over the River Tyne in Newcastle.  A bit of fun with a mirrored sculpture near the bridge.  The last one shows what it really looks like.

Bluebell Wood

Experiments with ICM (intentional camera movement) in the bluebell wood at Coton Manor in Northamptonshire.
