Tate Modern, a little abstraction

Image
I spent some time looking at the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition. It was very crowded and a little hot while I was walking round, but it was extremely interesting and inspiring and she certainly was a free spirit, devoted to her work. when I had come out of the gallery I sat on a bench opposite the escalators. I had just bought a new 10 stop neutral density filter and wanted to try it out. So I took several multiple exposures of the people on the escalators and then moved out to the turbine hall to repeat the exercise. The filter was a fairly cheap SRB one, but I was very pleased with the lack of colour cast it provided. Not that that mattered for this type of picture as I usually alter the colours in them anyway.

Holkham bay seascapes - the sea itself, abstractions

It has been suggested to me by David, that I take the pictures of the waves that I published in the previous blog and crop them to make more abstract images. I invite comments and so I was pleased to hear this. I had had a slight resistance to doing it in the first place as I have seen other, similar photographs. But heck I have seen a lot of beach photos too. So, if you can stand them all again, here we go. Some I think could be cropped even further, but I would be throwing a lot of pixels away.
