Hi folks,
These are my entries into The International Garden Photographer of the year 2013. I have entered these into the category of “The Beauty of Plants”
I think they are fresh looking shots, and hopefully the judges will see that to. This is a competition I would dearly love to win, it could finally launch my photography work into something I could do for a living. Finger, toes and everything else crossed for me please.
Hope you like them.
Just come back from a weekend in London. I love the old buildings of London and take many shots of them. However, this building stood out, especially against the blue sky's.
Cold day at the beach today, and a overcast sky. I used the B+W ND110 filter today to enrich this shot, also used the LEE .9 hard ND Grad filter to level the sky out.
Trying to achieve a good balance with the sky and foreground. The light was disappearing very fast. Some PP work in lightroom using the adjustment tool (which is fantastic)
Am I getting obsessive with sunsets? Well, I think I am, but it's easy to do. Trying to capture that awe inspiring sight, that many people sit and watch on a daily basis.
With my new set of Lee filters, I want to try and capture more. With landscape photography the evening light is one of the best you can capture, those rich tones and beautiful subtle shades are a photographers dream.
However, I will try and capture other interesting sights too.
This shot was taken with the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. It is such an ideal lens to take this kind of shot with.
