Day 249: Building Site

DAY0249 Building Site 724x950 Day 249: Building Site

Day 249 ‘Building Site’ – 02/08/10

I’m liking Borders at the moment, not sure if I need to stop using them or not? This is a twisty (twisting the camer 180 degrees) intentional camera movement shot of the building site that i previously took on Day 200. Finally the cranes have gone after almost 2 year, i’ll be interested to see how quickly the building comes up now!

Day 235: Brighton Beach

DAY0235 Brighton Beach 712x950 Day 235: Brighton Beach

Day 235 ‘Brighton Beach’ – 19/07/10

Another attempt at Intentional Camera Movement ‘ICM’, this time on Brighton beach, trying to capture the essence of a sunny day on the coast. This captures the stones, the sea, the sky and the people enjoying a day on the beach.

Day 231: From the Ashes

DAY0231 From The Ashes 712x950 Day 231: From the Ashes

Day 231 ‘From the Ashes’ – 15/07/10

It’s been a while since my last ‘Intentional Camera Movement’ or ICM photo. I have been meaning to take this shot of these two building i pass on my way home from work for a while. For some reason i like the fact that the one on the left reminds me a bit of a Playstation 2! I deliberately darkened the trees and buildings in the foreground to create the almost blotted ink feel.

Day 200: Construction

DAY0200 Construction 950x712 Day 200: Construction

Day 200 ‘Construction’ – 14/06/10

This has ended up nothing like i intended, but i like it much more like this, has a real gritty, depressing urban feel i think? This also seems like a nice follow up to the similarly abstract camera rage, sometimes i forget why i am doing this project, and then days like today i remember. Whether nobody else likes this i am really pleased with this image, and it has reminded me to keep on experimenting with ‘intentional camera movement’. What is interesting is that I am finding that with this style of photography there is a lot of feeling that is/can be added in the processing.

Day 167: My Green City

DAY0167 My Green City 712x950 Day 167: My Green City

Day 167 ‘My Green City’ – 12/05/10

Yet another ‘intentional camera movement’ photo, although i had intended to post up another shot for today which didn’t really work out as I wanted. This is a shot of the park and buildings near my office, i liked this shot as it shows the nicer sides of inner city life!

Day 166: Playing With Light

DAY0166 Playing With Light 950x534 Day 166: Playing With Light

Day 166 ‘Playing With Light’ – 11/05/10

The title for todays photo is very literal. This is another ‘intentional camera movement’ photo, and is actually of the light on my floor this morning. I have clearly boosted contrast and saturation to get the depth of colour in the final image.

Day 162: Into Ossiriand

DAY0162 Into Ossiriand 950x712 Day 162: Into Ossiriand

Day 162 ‘Into Ossiriand’ – 07/05/10

The title is an homage to Lord of the Rings, and the idea is this is like a vortex of green leaves as you enter the Kingdom of Ossiriand. This is an almost identical shot to Day 158′s ‘Feeling Green’ but i was playing with the ‘Landscape Blur’ technique and twisting the camera as i took the photo. I like the sense of movement and hint of detail this created from this green leafy setting.

Day 154: Thames Pier

DAY0154 Thames Pier 950x712 Day 154: Thames Pier

Day 154 ‘Thames Pier’ – 29/04/10

This is my second ‘landscape blur’ post, am loving this style introduced to me by Mr Ray Rhodes! I’m finding it is great for capturing some locations that i’ve been trying to photograph for a while. This old pier is very close to my home, but i’ve not found a way to photograph it sucesfully before. But this seems to really work well as a blur shot. I am definitely going to have a few more of these shots coming up, as they seem to find a nice balance between my love of detail, but desire for abstraction.
