It’s been a while

Well, it’s been a while since I picked up the camera, blame it on lack of inspiration last night however the sky inspired me to dust off the lens, whack some film* into the camera and take a quick photo….

Ǫlvir the Often Nauseated

Ǫlvir the Often Nauseated sadly never found his sea legs, and so he was relegated to taking tourists out for sunset tours in his longboat. Okay, this is a quick digital doodle to get me started on the theme of the month on John’s website.

Solway Sunset

As we were staying near Silloth last week we popped to the coast to watch the setting sun, and I was glad we did

At the end of the day

We took a run down by Long Meg and her Daughters stone circle this evening as the sun was heading towards the horizon. I was nice to spend an hour or so wandering about with the Moon riding high above the stones and the sun setting behind the distant hills.

Sunsets and Stained Glass

Yesterday I took a few photographs of the Sun as it set behind a small Oak tree, but as I was tired I decided to leave the photographs until this morning to sort out. So, this morning I uploaded the photographs to the computer and looked at the thumbnails.

As I browsed the thumbnails I was struck by how much they reminded me of stained glass, with that thought lodged somewhere in my head I brought up photoshop and started to play, until I created a ‘Sunset Stained Glass’.

There are not many photographs this would work with really, but I quite like the effect this one gave. Here is the original photograph for comparison.

Last Light

I’d put the camera away for the day as I did not think I’d get chance to use it again and I was just pulling some bread from the oven when Julie called through that I may want to grab my camera. When I looked at the Pennines out of the living room window the last light of the day was casting a nice red tinge on the hills and the cloud looked rather good so I did indeed grab my camera and snapped a few shots.
