</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think that the best photographic compositions are already there, just waiting for a photographer to capture them. Here is a lovely little Tokyo restaurant, which is obviously open to the elements during the warm months, but now that it is winter, the inner space is shielded from the elements with plastic sheeting. This makes for a very misty scene.</div>Artistnoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00001105501786465961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513251404521222653.post-33235648516026641002011-01-07T11:38:00.000+00:002011-01-07T11:38:40.444+00:00Tokyo is the place to visit for building photography ...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgts7AHUrFmK-J4V1ne20nuk9_PhG3iOV08971GFPUhuz97CGyrl6E6FkZ4pfE4Zhm5Si1Ev5_YQkfXcrdavdQ7e1xYWz6CqOU3A71SXJ0aDkbABB3bXzWbIZorFpZIg8qNzeG8gSkYodMw/s1600/DSCF1223.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgts7AHUrFmK-J4V1ne20nuk9_PhG3iOV08971GFPUhuz97CGyrl6E6FkZ4pfE4Zhm5Si1Ev5_YQkfXcrdavdQ7e1xYWz6CqOU3A71SXJ0aDkbABB3bXzWbIZorFpZIg8qNzeG8gSkYodMw/s320/DSCF1223.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Key to Candid Photography is Distance.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found a few years ago that my exisiting photographic portfolio held the key to a branch of photography that I had always been interested in, but had never achieved any photographs of any note. It was a snowy winter, much like this year, and I found myself at a loss for what to undertake photographically. I thought it might be a valuable exercise to review my old photo's and see if there was anything I had missed.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I cast my eye-glass over my negatives I spotted a number of candid photographs of a far better quality than I had ever thought I could take. The difference between these candid photographs and my older work was that these people appear completely natural and un-assaulted by a camera being pointed at them.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In all I think I found a community of candid photographic subjects (approx 30 in all). They are a wonder to me and bring home the dispassionate nature of the camera, choosing to capture anything [no matter how personal] that stands in front of its lens.</span></div>Artistnoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00001105501786465961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513251404521222653.post-14840789729057646362010-11-25T12:06:00.000+00:002010-11-25T12:06:06.834+00:00Snow Today, But still Beautiful Autumn Leaves on the trees - Great For Photographs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Rm5l-PRqv58W5JIP4KAziJfZcclD5NYFzuMH-n_JjlFQFRiCg5IG74R1iCiKvTmNDBWW1MDdb0o28JNb8jlhkwhkN4z95MMpGPODxSNCpkan7e0Qoux69I2gmPHI36EXiVHZSo3f11p1/s1600/Dsc00904.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="119" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Rm5l-PRqv58W5JIP4KAziJfZcclD5NYFzuMH-n_JjlFQFRiCg5IG74R1iCiKvTmNDBWW1MDdb0o28JNb8jlhkwhkN4z95MMpGPODxSNCpkan7e0Qoux69I2gmPHI36EXiVHZSo3f11p1/s320/Dsc00904.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Autumn is nearly over, with the first wintry showers occurring last night. There's never a better time for photographing trees against the lovely blue skies of early winter. Crisp days are far more than just cold days, they also have a better quality of air and light, so perfect conditions for putting that circular polariser on to your lens and getting some lovely colours.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was far to windy for a cycle ride today, so I grabbed the camera and went for a walk. We live in the heart of farming Norfolk and I'd be the first to say that the scenery is a bit lacking in variety.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Informal portraits must be the most commonly taken image, but when you get one right it can renew your interest in the subject. In the 1990's I was working behind a bar and my regular lunchtime crowd were an interesting bunch, obsessed with talking philosophy, playing domino's and drinking beer. Every bar has it's central character, someone who is known by everyone and who treats the bar as if it were an extension of their own home. Lou King was our central character. He was full of local information, fun to talk to and always ready to listen ... the perfect gent.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On this day I thought that I would bring my old 35mm Olympus OM1, a tripod and a black sheet to work ... and see what I could snap. Lou jumped at the chance as I remember ... and here's the result.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picture the scene, My wife and I are walking through a graveyard on a sunny afternoon. This place would usually be quiet and peaceful and a nice opportunity to film test a Yashica 635 twin reflex camera that I had just purchased. Within a few minutes we find ourselves in conversation with this charming old man, who tells us one story after another for over 30 minutes. It is Memorial Sunday and we were making our way home from the commemorations in the city centre and so was our new companion. I am struck with the urge to photograph our friend, an activity that makes my wife cringe ... but something that I have always been able to ask even complete strangers without fear.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The location was not perfectly lit as you can see. In shadow, with glaring light directly from behind ... but that's where he sat, so that's where we shoot. The image is misty, slight out of focus and bleached of colour from the glare ... but who cares ? It shows the character of a group of courageous people, the likes of whom we may never see again. The most striking part of this image [for me] is the shine on this man's shoes. This day is very very important to him and he has spent at least 24 hours preparing for it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oulton Broads pictures are usually depicting wide stretches of the Norfolk Broads and Boats gently cruising up and down it's still waters. Here I have a picture of Oulton Broad that you probably will not recognise, but I hope that it will illustrate how lovely the walks are in this area. There are many pleasant hours of leisure walks, situated mainly between the main roads in to Oulton Broad and the riverways.</span>Artistnoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00001105501786465961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513251404521222653.post-80422196612546407532010-11-05T06:01:00.000+00:002010-11-05T06:01:53.849+00:00Pictures of North Norfolk - Sometimes calm, sometimes not !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRnVl20TrPqDycRXm10ajkWY0cBEgE9mZvF_vAru2QioAo089N7q0RYh6BlA4wxAgIc_o7yBCJtpENVJ3pFYL4anYikyMk3eHXBzrCsBnYEtpsLBk4wWqo6JySIzIqFVMtN4mpR2TQkb0C/s1600/DSC00931.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRnVl20TrPqDycRXm10ajkWY0cBEgE9mZvF_vAru2QioAo089N7q0RYh6BlA4wxAgIc_o7yBCJtpENVJ3pFYL4anYikyMk3eHXBzrCsBnYEtpsLBk4wWqo6JySIzIqFVMtN4mpR2TQkb0C/s320/DSC00931.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few years ago Bev and I went to Switzerland and had a really nice time. I would not advise anyone, under the age of 60, to ever go on a coach trip. Although Switzerland is beautiful and certainly worth visiting, coaches ruin the whole experience. I find it very difficult to enjoy a place when I know that we are being forced out of bed at 4am to drive another 200 miles to the next hotel. We hated the experience so much that we opted to not return to the UK with the coach party, choosing to stay in Paris for a few more days and relax ... then fly back to Norwich ... Easy :-)</span>Artistnoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00001105501786465961noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513251404521222653.post-29976234371265781102010-11-04T15:49:00.000+00:002010-11-04T15:49:56.780+00:00A Picture of the Pont Des Arts at Night<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJnEYndCrk7m9n3yANojJr8yedLHq37ZpiTzEqGtbySqEKxP08JwA_tjl44B3B7WvRvYrUUkxXl8SPWS9Rq0wgfUo2dbmUKAbkXEjo5c8ImGrmrC4du1XCEuMyK6dhmYLy-AtlqBXjwCv/s1600/119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOJnEYndCrk7m9n3yANojJr8yedLHq37ZpiTzEqGtbySqEKxP08JwA_tjl44B3B7WvRvYrUUkxXl8SPWS9Rq0wgfUo2dbmUKAbkXEjo5c8ImGrmrC4du1XCEuMyK6dhmYLy-AtlqBXjwCv/s320/119.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This image took approximately 4 minutes to shoot. Many would question the need to take such a long time to expose a 400asa film ... but they get blurry shots ;-) Obviously, when you are taking such a long exposure image you will need to block out the lights caused by traffic. I use a lens cap every time that I hear a car approaching. In this image I thought that all I wanted was one light trail going from right to left, drawing the viewer into the image. Sadly the driver had a different plan and promptly performed a perfect 3 point turn and disappeared in the same direction that he entered the image.</span>Artistnoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00001105501786465961noreply@blogger.com0
