Mirror Of The Apocalypse
Week 16, a very mixed bag of images. A walk in the country, down by the river Avon near Bath in fact, brought me to this mirror in a quiet lane. Although the shot was not that inspiring often that is a spur to try out different approaches.
The result was this rather moody and indeed disturbing landscape reflected in the mirror.

Pattern
Another not so promising photo. However with a bit of playing and layering in Affinity Photo this somewhat architectural image emerged.

Daffs
Visiting a friend I took a shot of her vase of daffodils. Again I played around with the shot and came up with this. I like the strong graphic shapes of the daffodil flowers layer over each other. A decorative image.

Abandoned Bag
Another shot of something left on the street. It always makes me wonder what is the story behind this bag ending up on the fence post.
I like the way the colours of the bag were singing out in the late afternoon sunshine. I darkened the background and added a vignette to focus the eye on the bag. An isolated patch of colour on a backstreet.

Sedum
A macro shot of the leaves of a sedum plant. Not a lot to say other than my eye was drawn to the pattern that the leaves make.

Leaf
Decided to layer the leaf onto the grainy background that I had created from a shot I took that day. Photographers spend a lot of time getting sharp images and minimising noise. With this image I decided to go in the other direction.
Sometimes less is more. I think the look of this photo invites you to construct your own narrative rather than presenting you with a nailed down, tack sharp image.

Allium Flower
Spring is defiantly upon us and the allium flowers are bursting open. This one is a white flower rather than the more common purple. Although I processed it for colour at the last minute I rendered it into black and white. It seems to suit the image well.
Okay that’s week 16’s crop of photographs. Lets see what week 17 offers.
