Week 46 – CYMORTHIN
CYMORTHIN
Welcome back to my weekly Blog, it’s been a week of anticipation and hope this last week leading up to my trip out this Saturday to what would hopefully be a sunny trip to Cymorthin in North Wales, I had to quickly try and change my working shift at work (So thanks to the people at work for swapping shifts) and then a few days of dreaded hope that the weather would be good? Well we set out at stupid O’clock on Saturday morning (3AM) for a three hour drive to arrive in pitch blackness, which was followed by a rather steep incline walking on broken fragments of slate for the old mine, eventually as the sky lightened we where presented with what can only be described as a Fantastic day! so here for your pleasure is just one of the many beautiful images I managed to grab from the day, I love the reflection and have left a little land in the bottom corner to frame the image, the cloud to the right I found very hard to tone down (so any tips will be welcomed) none the less I personally love the image and it conjures up what a wonderful day I had, thanks to Chris for scouting the place out and Andy for driving, please leave me your feed back via the comments section on this website and have a great week everyone, Jurgen.
Week 35 – BUBBLE SPLASH
BUBBLE SPLASH
Good day to you all its the bank holiday and the sun is shining Yaah!! I hope you are all enjoying your time off and doing something fab? OK as for me the long wait is over and I am a converted man! the new camera is in my possession and it’s a beautiful Canon EOS 7D, its an amazing piece of kit and I cannot express enough how chuffed I am! so with that in mind I popped over to Matlock on Saturday for a quick walk with my brother and his girlfriend so as to snap a few pictures and followed that up with a brief visit to the National water sports centre yesterday and I again can say that I am staggered at this cameras performance with its bundled kit lens the images are crisp sharp and colourful, and this is without really delving into the Miriam of features its can offer me if I tweak the settings, so this weeks shot has not been touched at all apart from cropping and I hope you will agree that the image is awesome quality? well I like it, OK guys have a great week and thanks for the feed back as always, all the best from your newly converted Canon EOS User Jurgen.
Week 26 – THE POWER OF SWAN LAKE
THE POWER OF SWAN LAKE
Week 26 – wow what a scorcher of a weekend! not much time for photography this weekend as I was working this Saturday and today was out of the question all be it I did try but nothing much came back from my efforts but we did make it back in time for the football. so this week’s image comes from a little trip out to once again Attenborough Nature reserve heading towards Sawley, another opportunity to try out my new wide angle lens and how long did I wait for this swan to drift into shot? well again I like it as it couples the serenity with the sheer awesomeness of the industrious Power station looming in the rear of the image, I especially like the reflection and the carefully controlled colour of the white steam! I hope you all like the image and as always I look forward to your comments have a great week everyone! Jurgen
