Time to Recharge
During a visit to family on the Isle of Wight I took the opportunity to start rebuilding my photographic practice, landscape and nature. Using some Lee filters I bought a while ago to enhance images some the images, though this gave some idea as to what the image would look like, this sometimes proved more troublesome than it was worth.
The images I produced over the weekend are nice but my actions and exploration of scenes or details seemed timid and self conscious, as though I was always trying to please someone else and not myself.
Hopefully, I will get these printed as sometimes a physical image is more reassuring than its digital twin.

A Break from Routine
Personal Work - My first visit to the sea defences near Southsea Castle. Striking and simple. The minimalist architectural landscape amongst the sea and sky, echoes the vastness of nature, shrinking people to show their importance in this space and echo the reasons as to why this construction was necessary.
I was also inspired to produce a multiple image Southsea's Seafront shelters. Hopefully, I can improve and expand this idea. The image is now the first image on my homepage.

Personal Work
It has been sometime since I have undertaken any personal work so it all seems a bit strange. Amongst them are some double exposures taken using the facility within the camera. This technique is not as easy as it seems, it takes a little more skill and imagination than placing any image on top of another. But I will persevere and start to produce some credible creative images.
