THE WALK

Looking at the picture again, I thought I might be able to capture the famous style of the old black and white New York Pictures.

As I have said before, I think shadows and light just exentuate in black and white, it gives it almost an edge or boundary between the two contrasts.

It's just a shame about the jpeg archive pixelation.

A beautiful morning walking through the grimness that is London and eventually work. This existence is purgatory.

Why is it that you never have your proper camera at the most opportune moments. This has been taken by my Sony W800.

This is the original picture just slightly darkened and sharpened.

Bye Bye

Steve finally spotted where I was.

Though I cut the back of the main item in the picture off again, bloody amatuer.

I've still got to get used to the camera and all it's settings, though it's hard.

I vow to learn

I had to take this picture over the heads of the masses, and could only achieve one picture of the whole car a lap (on the 3 in one second 14 burst mode) from where I was postioned.

A postcard picture. Ok so I cut the wing off, just because I was getting used to my 70 - 300 telescopic lens at full zoom, and the objects in front of the lens are now you see them now you don't .

Steve and my mate Simon decided to take their cars on the parade lap. I decided to stay behind and take a couple of photo's.

Obviously this is my mate Si's car a Clio 172 cup (just incase you didn't get the number plate)

On the Saturday before Hatfield Forest ( Time is merely a construct created by humans). My mate Steve asked if I wanted to go to Donington for the Renault World Series, and since he has a Clio 172, it was nice and easy access to the inner field.

The good thing about these photo's is that they can be put in my "Around Essex" catagory.

This is a photomerged picture of the giant oak at the centre of the park.

This is a photo of just a few of the grapes Rebecca decided to shove in her mouth at once, I think she quit around the mid twenty's.

A not very original, but effective shot, I made the grapes even greener so they stand out from the rest

Because the weekend was so lovely, Lee suggested that we should goto Hatfield Forest on the Sunday, and what a lovely day.

I loved the way the massive oak was the centre piece of the park, and rightly so. I decided to get rid of the cars, but rather than removing them I thought I would play

Luckily whilst taking random photo's of scenery, there was a water skiing contenst going on.

I decided to make this photo different by creating a pattern of water skier's.

Amazingly this was the first time i have ever actually entered Gosfield Lake Visitor Centre (mainly cos Dave paid for me, cheers mate).

Ok so I've put a lens flare on the picture and vignetted the corners, but it adds an extra element to the picture, which was a little over exposed (I forgot to put the camera setting to RAW).

Because it was a lovely day Sunday, I decided to go to Gosfield Lake and take some photo's.

Getting to Gosfield Lake, you have to go through the village of Gosfield (funny that!), which just so happened had Scarecrow Weekend which had lot's of people flocking there.

Sounds all too Wickerman to me, I wonder how many came back?
