Battersea power station 2024
A lot of development outside and in has happened in the last year. With the xmas decorations in place, the interior galleries are so cluttered, a clean shot is not possible!

Multiple exposure abstracts, London 2024
Multiple exposure abstracts, London 2024
A series of images made from multiple images, some combined in post, some made by abusing the in-camera pixel shift mechanism as a multi-exposure technique (it doesn't seem to make any difference to the result which method is used).

Long exposure work
Long exposure photography uses long shutter speeds (usually in excess of 1 second, often several minutes) to smear out motion over time to create a more abstract look.
Round towered churches of Norfolk Part 1
Round towered churches of Norfolk Part 1
The county of Norfolk is home to around 120 of the 200 or so known round tower churches. Dated variously from late Saxon to early Conquest periods, these are found almost exclusively in the East Anglia region. This gallery is part of a long term project to photograph them all with a black & white infrared camera for an unusual take on these quirky churches.

B&W infrared images of the 3 round tower churches in Sussex at Piddinghoe, Southease and Lewes.
Bronte country
Bronte country
It may have been mid-October, but it was more mid-summer than wuthering heights. A quick glance at Flickr suggested Bronte country was hard to photograph well, and so it proved. Some stormy weather might have helped, but it was not to be. These are shot with a Fuji GFX50s medium format digital camera.

Romney Marsh and Dungeness
Romney Marsh and Dungeness
The day started foggy but my moody winter marshland trip was sabotaged by blue skies and sunshine. Still an enjoyable day, not least finding myself in an army firing range! I survived.

Long exposures (which I arbitrarily define as shutter speeds longer than 1 second) provide a different view of the world from conventional photography. Moving subjects are integrated over time with detail and sharp edges smeared away. Very long exposures can make anything that moves disappear from the image. Gives a very abstract look.

Near infrared light lies just beyond the longest wavelengths we can see with the naked eye, but the camera sensor can see them!. My camera has been converted to block most visible light and work mostly with the near infrared. I prefer IR converted to B&W rather than false colour which I find a little gimmicky.

Reflections in water, glass and metal given the abstract treatment.
Movement

Subject movement and slow shutter speeds to give a more abstract look to subjects spread out over time.

Discovered a liking for the abstracts shapes of tents and made a long term project of it!
