Silhouettes

Silhouettes today from me. Just these two images in this post.



I took this in late afternoon as the sun was decending over the city with the camera pointed directly at the light I was able to pick up long shadows by increasing the ISO and the aperture f stops to 20. This darkened the settings to give this rich golden blaze of light




I live not to far from Hucknall in Nottinghamshire which is the home town to the family church St Mary Magdalene of the Byron Family where the poet Lord Gordon George Byron and his daughter Mathematician and first computer programmer Countess Ada Lovelace are interred in the family vault. Hucknall was also once a coal mining town until the closure of the colliery on the 80’s. This next picture is the memorial that can be found in Hucknall. Given to Hucknall by Ashfield District Council to commemorate the people who worked at the Hucknall No2 Colliery from 1866 unitl 1986. Unveiled 25 June 2005. Created by Graham Ibbeson M.A (R.C.A).. The memorial itself is a representation of a Davey lamp, this image is just the top part of it.

Believe me this is definately a statue regardless of the excellent detail that makes him look alive



Should anyone wish a copy of any of my photographs, please just drop me a line and I can always send you a higher resolution/ bigger image to use.

Oh, some lucky people have sunshine. There is an absolute doom and gloom in London. What about spring? Do you think we should expect it, soooooooon? ;)

Actually it was dull and grey here with snow recently. My picture above was taken in December 2009 right before we had a tremendous snow storm.

Expect spring in about 6 weeks
