Project – 'Landscapes' Update

in

On the same afternoon that we took pictures of the Amazon Depot and caused a minor stir, we also took some snaps of a Roman hill. I say it is Roman, although I have no actual proof of this, only what my taxi driver friend James said it is one. It does look man made. As well as having few interesting trees growing on the top of it. Also taken that day is another view of a tree on a small hill (first picture) that I first viewed when Amy and I were on our way back home from our parents. It can be seen through a gap in the trees opposite the local B&Q depot. I had thought for a time that I had imagined the view from the depot as the mind plays tricks on you, but yes it was real and James and his taxi took us there to capture its fleeting splendour.

Just a few from a location that always caught my eye on which ever journey I took by car to the City. Its just outside the City limits and a blink and you miss it. It is a copse of trees on top of a mound and it reminds me of a similar view on the A38 just outside of Bristol on the way to Cornwall. You can not stop on that road, but you can this. So thanks then to my driver from my local taxi firm, James for taking me there.

Project – 'Landscapes' and 'Architectural Metaphor' Update

in

This years offering of landscape pictures were taken in Rutland. A trip north of Corby was taken with the help of my father to this nice little county and a very scenic view from a viaduct across the valley. There was not many people around as the area was flooded, which added to the glare of light that day. But I think both Amy and I managed to get something decent for the site as well as some shots of Kettering telephone exchange added for the 'Architectural Metaphor page. Brutal building as any, not the greatest of designs, but not a blot on the landscape as my Dad calls it.

Some little beauties this month for you on this project I would love to do more on given the chance. I have a confession to make … these images are not new. They were taken about twenty years ago somewhere north of Chesterfield in Derbyshire. They have been kicking around on my hard drives all this time, with me not knowing what to do with them. Well I finally put them into use and edited them. I hope it saws worth the wait.

While being away this last new year time I managed to go out and get some landscape pictures done with the help of my father. I do not get a lot of opportunities to do this, due to medical reasons so it was nice to indulge. Northamptonshire is not the most dramatic of landscapes (unlike Derbyshire), in fact its nearly as flat as a witches tit, but you can still get some interesting views and I hope I have captured a few here?

Thank you Dad for the day out. Loved it x

We took a visit to Newstead Abby a weekend or so ago to have a look over the grounds as I would like to do a location shoot there sometime soon with Monalisa Moyo. It was a nice day and busy. The bulrushes were not out this early in the year, so it might not yet be suitable to do a dramatic shoot in, but that will change as the seasons progress. While we were there I did manage to grab a few shots of the waters they have and what seemed like a huge sky above. So all in all a productive visit.

I am happy to bring you a random mix of old images for the landscape project. They are not new and many are from transparencies and old print film scanned in and brought up to date photoshop. Still old as they maybe, I do think they are worth another good look.
