Several points in a deliberate shape.
Still life.

Vertical and Horizontal lines.
This photograph was taken on the beach at Portsmouth. They are the remains of an old pier. The verticals are obvious (the upright wooden posts), but I like the more subtle horizontals in the form of the black line of seaweed, the top of the shingle bank, the line of holes on the posts and the dark/light contrast band on the posts themselves.

Photos from my recent travels...

For the past six weeks I have been travelling around the South West and South of England on business and going to the rental house in Winchester.

Here are a selection of pictures.

Side walk way off the main high street in Penzance.
This was taken to test the camera in low / street light.

Sea. Penzace.
Love the peaks and movement in this photo.

The Pines at Pinehurst, North Devon.

Rosie, Exmoor.
Taken using the Fujifilm 'Chrome' setting. The colours are more saturated.
Very much like slide file.

Archway in the vegatable garden. Rosemoor, Torrington, Devon.
Taken for 'curves'.

Recycle bins. Back street in Penzance.
I just loved the Penguin. It makes that bin stand out from the rest.

Penzance.
I love the verticals and curves in the shot.
Also the crow/jackdaw on the top of the weather vane.

Outdoor swimming pool on the esplanade, Penzance.
Lots of shadows. Taken early evening. I love the reflections.

Birds gathering in the evening. Penzance harbour.
By the time the light had faded there were about 30 birds gathering here.

Gull. Sea wall railings, Penzance.
A noble gull poses for the camera.

Patterns on a wall. Penzance sea front.

Side of the Jubilee outdoor swimming pool, Penzance.
An unusual piece of architecture. The pool is filled naturally with sea water each day.

Railings. Back street. Winchester.
Grounds of the old St Petroc church yard. Winchester.
The church is now long gone, but the graves remain in the garden.

Flying buttraces. Winchester cathedral.

Winchester cathedral.

Graveyard, looking west. Winchester.
Taken to try out the 'Black and White' film option in the camera.

Town house. Winchester.

Railings. Winchester.

Flint and brick wall. Winchester.

I have used a close up of the pipes for the 'implied triangle' photo for the assignment.
