Keeping with the last post’s B&W theme …

… here’s another “down the rabbit hole” fractal. Kinda sums up how I felt at the end of the last working week!

Down the rabbit hole II

Black & White

I have done very, very few photos in B&W. Not because I don’t like monochrome – because I do – but because I have even more trouble ‘seeing’ in B&W than I do in colour, and because I’m never satisfied with my conversions. Ho, hum. Nothing ventured, nothing gained they say. So here are the fruits of a wet Sunday’s labour.

First, two of the bosses from Norwich cathedral.

An attempt to make Newport Transporter Bridge look a little less than merely grim on a dull day,

The Big Wheel in Manchester

Two slightly different takes on a dramatic sky at Horsey, Norfolk

And finally, Cromer Pier on a cold and drab day.

This one’s for John

Looks like a Blue Moon’s risen to me :)

The view from seat 6K

The flight from Gatwick to The Gambia takes you over the Atlas Mountains and the Western Sahara and on our trip last year I was mesmerised by the beautiful abstract patterns of the never-ending & stark landscape below us. So I was determined to have my camera at hand during the flight this year – and was ready to throw a wobbly of Olympic proportions if I didn’t get the window seat I’d pre-booked. Luckily for me (and the check-in clerk), I did.

The RAW images were all pretty flat and generally ‘orrible because of shooting through a heavy, triple-glazed and dirty window so post-processing them has been … well, let’s say interesting. I must have 6 versions of each one by now and have lost any objectivity I ever had about them. *sigh* I’m giving up, and posting what I’ve got – and then I really am going to seriously practise some PP techniques!
