Trying to break out from the mould and doing something different.........

I refer to photography of course, but I guess it applies to life too.

Been looking at my archive a lot recently and taking decisions on what I want in the future. We have to please ourselves with the images we take, but it is foolish to believe that we don't want others to like and approve as well, getting a positive response is an important human need.

So I have dragged a few images from the hard drive, where they live quietly, and this small selection is below, with some ideas that I am working on, putting them into a Theme envelope seems to make sense, and Lightroom key-wording these, plus other ratings should make help too.

More Architectural Abstractions...

Going to be a recurring theme for me I think, as I enjoy having an individual look to my shots.
Not groundbreaking, but the exploration of the technique will reap benefits in other areas, in music or festival images.
I do find it helpful putting them online to get an impression of them, and am batching up some for prints as well.
The handicap is I have such a big back catalogue of shots that they just don't looked at enough, keep promising to get a day or two of cataloguing but something else is more interesting.

 

 

My favourite at the moment

 

A little trip to Imperial Wharf, London

The Architect's Eye photographic exhibition is at Roca London Gallery, renowned as being designed by Zaha Hadid and I visited on Saturday,  a two fold purpose as I wanted a few more shots of the Gallery and to see the prints "live".

Architects Eye
Well deserved winners, I particularly liked Venice 2 and Breakpoint..
The Gallery shots continue my theme of White Space, that is often grey, naturally. 

Shots taken with new Canon 700D bought to replace my heavy 5D, first time out with it, love the touch screen and live view.  On first sight it seems to be an ideal choice, I can still use all my lenses, with the crop factor giving me more zoom for tighter shots if required.
