While walking on the Southbank with the iPhone I decided to take a few creative photos, Intensional Camera Movement and Multiple Exposures. I had started this 'trip project' at Kings Cross Station - First two photos.

Impressionist Photography

I have now finished a Four-Week on-line photographic course on Creative Photography, and thoroughly  enjoyed it. It was run by Doug Chinery and Velda Bailey. I have leant lots and want to learn more. We had various exercises to do each week. Here are just a few examples of images I have been very pleased with. Some are more abstract than others. The course was aimed at taking photography in a creative / abstract direction.

Infrared Variations on an Image

I Decided to play with my infrared camera in the garden today and also to use it to create in-camera multiple exposures. I had briefly done ME's Images before with this camera but had not truly been inspired by the results. As with any ME 'project' I took quite a few different shots / experiments. Uploading into Lightroom I started processing selecting and them. I came across one image and was very pleased with the abstract feel to the result, I saved the result by creating a virtual copy and processed it a different way. After about a half an hour I found that I had produced 6 different versions of the same image (there where actually 8 but I deleted two :).

I sequenced them in a pleasing way to me and Here they are in there full glory :)

Wet Afternoon at Milton Country Park.

Sue and I decided to pop back to Milton Country Park the other day, we had visited the previous weekend with the grandchildren but had not taken our cameras. I had seen some beautiful reflections and wanted to try some more in-camera multiple exposures.

It was very wet and muddy. All the pictures except the last three are multiple exposures and have been post processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic. As I mentioned in a previous blog I play with, and use as a starting point, some Lightroom presets I was sent by Velda Bailey and Doug Chinery. Its quite surprising how this Lightroom post processing can bring out abstract patterns. Good Fun.

The last three images are 'straight' or single shots - As we were walking back to the car it chucked it down.

And then the rain started .....
