The light of salvation


Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 105 St Paul's church, Brookhouse. This is an interesting image to me for several reasons, but I particularly like the fact that you can't actually straighten this image up correctly, or at least so it appears. There are two reasons for this: 1. There's a fair amount of distortion with the lens (10-20mm) that I was using, so the doorway seems a bit bow-legged. 2. The tower really does slant at that crazy angle. As you can see, the sides are stepped. It's a sort of half tower, half steeple job.

I took this whilst wandering around looking for other things to photograph (and by other things I mean wooly, four legged things, since there are quite a few around these days and they like pose for the camera).

I just liked the way the 10mm lens made the road look, but my other half has pointed out to me that there used to be two posts on that sign...

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 57

Posted late again, my apologies.

Taken looking north towards the Lake District. I was using this one as a way of playing around with colourisation and filters in the Gimp. I'm not sure that it wouldn't have worked better with some sheep in the picture.

Jubilee Tower, which overlooks Morecambe bay from one of the high points of the forest of Bowland.

Colours and contrast altered in the Gimp, but otherwise untouched.

And today, because you're lucky, you get a bonus image.

The long and winding road

The long and winding road

Three-hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 16

Actually it's pretty short as roads go, and is in fact the driveway leading up to our house, which is on an old farm site.

This was first time the rain let up today, so I went out with the 18-55mm lens (oh for a wider angle!) and an ND grad filter and snapped this.

Cropped (I really would like a wide angle lens so that I could get the feeling that I wanted; this was as close as I could manage) and colourised in the Gimp, but otherwise untouched.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
