Shepherd’s Warning

A frosty morning in December as the sun rises over Thurlaston, near Dunchurch, Warwickshire.

Reminded me of the saying; “Red sky in the morning, Shepherd’s warning”.

Sewing Machine

img_0904

Light painting an old Singer Sewing Machine. Twelve images again with an LED torch. Stacked in Photoshop and blended with Lighten.

I think this may work better with some sort of diffuser on the torch so will try to rig something up perhaps with tissue paper and a small tube over the end of the torch to prevent leak of backlight towards the camera.

Odell & Co.

Westminster Bridge

img_1032

Looking across the Thames towards the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament) and Westminster Bridge. Unfortunately, as can be seen on the left, the buildings were under repair when the photograph was taken. The cloud gap above Big Ben was almost the shape of Great Britain; well, with a bit of imagination!
