Just a Dragon

Just a Dragon

Sue’s Grandpa was a heraldic painter for and he painted a couple of dragons on hardboard that hung at his house and I always liked them. His daughter Joan knew I really liked them and when Grandpa passed away she gave them to me. 

They are hung on our landing wall and I often enjoy the light that comes through the north window onto them. Over the last few years I have used them as objects to practice in-camera multiple exposure. The fact that I have done this does not stop me doing it again (and Again :). Todays offering

Out and About with Cambridge Camera Club 2 - In Camera ME

Second post from the day out with the Cambridge Camera Club at the Leisure Park, Clifton Way. This time my images focus on Intensional Camera Movement. Images taken on a walk from the Leisure Park through the 'new build' to the railway station.

Joined in on an excellent weekly on-line talk by the ‘MyPhotoClub’ last night. The speaker this week was Eileen Rafferty and she was talking about abstract photography and its roots in photographic history dating back to the 1800’s when photography started with  Niépce, Daguerre and Fox Talbot.

One of the people she mentioned was Alfred Stieglitz who was instrumental in developing photography as an art form. He created a series of cloud photographs circa 1925-34 which he called  ‘Equivalents in Photography’. They were  intended to free the subject matter from literal interpretation and hence abstract photography as works of art.

After lunch today I looked out the window and saw quite a nice sky and I thought I would like to reproduce my own version. Sounds grand but it did keep me off the street for a couple of hours :)

I also created a mono version

And the images

Out and About with Cambridge Camera Club 1 - In Camera ME

A few days ago Sue and I met up with other members of the Cambridge Camera Club at the Leisure Park, Clifton Way, Cambridge to try some in camera multiple exposure images of the architecture. We started there and then walked to the rail station through the 'new build'

This is the first post and is some images using in camera multiple exposure. There will be a second post from the walk where I used intensional camera movement.
