Come Back Yesterday!

Spring had sprung, now its sprung back into a grey hole. Grey and overcast and cold. Melville would approve.

I'm unlikely to get any good shots today, so as promised, here are a couple of my favourites from yesterday. You can see the full compliment of images at the [DEAD GALLERY] web gallery of Llandaff & Fairwater Scenes.

These are my absolute favourites. Several self portrait shadow pictures, with a weirdly shrunken head, done by placing myself at the top of a steep bank. I would like to do some more with these, now the idea has formed. Maybe abstract them, play with the contrast and create some animations. Great fun?

The light was good, I found myself interested in composition and bold shadows. Once more I have thought about maybe abstracting some of these images in another medium. I think they would work well. One day - when everything else if over and done with.

And I was enjoying puddles and vapour trails. I like the simple composition and angles in the first one. Its very minimalist. I think it could make a lovely painting, done simplely and on a grand scale. It just seems well balanced.

And some nice lighting on the cathedral.

And now Mr. Nursey has said he would like to go out tomorrow to take some photographs, so I think I will take the B&W out. Yippee. Now if my brother would just come and help me install the darkroom, I can start developing some of the B&W photographs I have already taken. Fun and Games!
