Some recent monochrome images

Hessle Creek.

The Humber Estuary.

I took these recently on the Humber Estuary, East Yorkshire, U.K. using my EOS 3 and ilford delta 100, these are scans from the film, I've just enhanced them a bit in photoshop. These sort of images are best viewed as gallery sized prints, in the flesh so to speak. I came across the following quote in a book I've been reading, and would apply the same sentiments to my own images above...

 "In some photographs the essences of light and space dominate; in others, the substance of rock and wood, and the luminous insistence of growing things....It is my intention to present, through the medium of photography, intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to spectators" - Ansel Adams.

The Classic Olympus Trip 35

A Great little discreet camera, all manual no batteries required. The Trip 35 has a very sharp fixed 40mm Lens, capable of producing pin sharp images, aslong as you have it set right. Although theres not much to set, the main thing to get right is the focusing it has a distance scale, the setting below infinity has a great depth of field and is good for general walk around stuff. You can even use the film speed dial to manipulate exposure. The 3 above images were all taken with the Trip 35. Check out the Trip Man at www.tripman.co.uk for refurbished models and much more.
