The power of photography
Although not my original intention, I like the way that this shot implies that the firing of the camera has shattered the glass.

Ballroom blitz?
Outside Sheffield City Hall in the rain, people queue to enter the ballroom.

Ripples on Mablethorpe beach
I’m going through a bit of an arty-farty image border phase at present. Not sure whether it’s a good idea or not, but it does seem to make photos look better in many cases.

More still life
Another one of my still life attempts from the weekend. Although shot on Portra 400, I converted this to black and white as it looked much better (the melon was very pale, with barely any colour to it anyway).

Payphone
Someone has broken one of the panes on this slightly dishevelled looking phonebox, through which the battered but functional payphone can be seen.

Boots
A photo competition I’m taking part in has “Still-Life” at the theme for February. It’s not a form that I’ve much of an affinity for if I’m honest, even though some of my photos undoubtedly fall under the banner by accident. Whatever the case, I’ve found it difficult to drum up much enthusiasm, but nonetheless shot a roll of expired Portra 400 I had lying around. Most of the shots are pretty uninspiring, although there are maybe four or five that are worth a second glance (though probably not much more). The photo below was my favourite, and the one I submitted.

Towards Hathersage
Looking into the Hope Valley from Bolehills, with Hathersage off to the right of the frame.

Trident
I’m a sucker for photos like this one. It’s a mundane subject, but the tones and depth of field are really nice. I love the way the barbed wire fades in and out of focus as it enters an leaves the shot.

Nothing goes to waste
Recycling in action…
