An Afternoon beside the River Towy

An Afternoon beside the River Towy

At the moment I have given up the idea of posting photos in chronological order. These were taken on the 15th September while on holiday in Gloucestershire and Wales

These were from Rhandirmwyn, Wales. I spent a few hours next to the River Towy taking photos of the water movement using a big stopper and in camera multiple exposure. (Image adjustments in Lightroom only) Plus a few Infrared shots of the area.

Toy Lens at the UEA

It must have been at the end of September when Phil let me have a Toy Lens for the Olympus (SLR Magic 26mm f1/4). I had played with it a bit while we were on holiday (Images later) but not really used it in earnest. Towards the end of our visit to the UEA it started to rain and I thought I would give the camera and lens go.

Quite pleased with the results. Very similar to the LensBaby Composer with Sweet 50 Optic that I have except the area of 'Focus' is confined to the centre of the lens. 

All these images where shot at wide open (F/1.4) to maximise the effect. In Lightroom I found a set of adjustments to create a colour feel I liked to the images and created a preset to apply to them all as a starting point.

Street Photography at the UEA - Monochrome

 On Monday this week I travelled to The University of East Anglia with Ann and Phil to look at the 1970's Brutal Style Architecture. Some real fabulous buildings. There where also some more modern additions that I would complemented the starkness of the brutal architecture.

This blog is more about the people, predominantly students, going about their daily lives.
