Time for Reflection

Whilst working hard one day I got bored. And started to stare outside the window to what lies out there apart from boring Chudleigh, when I was suddenly joined by my friend here bailey. He is a wierd cat but the natural sunligh from the right illuminates his face and creates this wonderful photograph, so I dont mind.

pine cones and barbed wire

pine cones and barbed wire. I really like the barbed wire in this picture as it is not perfectly straight and curves from left to right, unlike the pristine almost perfect normal barbed wire. Also the way these cones are growing and blossoming like flowers next to the destructive and fierce barbed wire, it is conflicting and showing both sides to the forest.

the old bench

same bench, but i prefer this picture. I like how you can see more of the surroundings with the tree in the bacnround and the large rock just resting neatly behind the rickety old bench and the colours aswell. The colours of the bench make it seem very old, rickety and quite uncomfortable also the colours of he grass are very vivid and the path next to it seems worn and old just as the bench. Also i think that this picture is framed much better with negative space above the bench and room below the bench to put it in the middle level of the picture with space to the left of it for the eye to wonder........

take a seat...

On a walk somewhere near a forest and i found this bench covered in grass and very old. I really liked the colour of the bench as it much of the similar tones of the tree behind it, this makes it almost blend into its surroundings and many would not see it hidden here beneath the undergrowth. Also i like the lighting that day aswell as it creates a bit of mystery, the light is not illumintaing the entire picture, therefore it leaves the rest up to your imagination and adds to hidden mystery of this picture.

by the boats in dartmouth

Busy day in Dartmouth it was indees, and this picture demonstrates this fact to its entirety. All along the far left of the picture there was a competition for all ages to take part and draw drawings of whatever they desired in chalk in the pavements of dartmouth and you can see them all dotted along the edge of the photo clinging to the pavement for any space to show their artistic flair. I decided to take this photo in black and white as the day itself was very gloomy and didnt bode well towards colour photography and plus i like how it brings out the old style of the victorian house in the backround.

dartmouth carnival

In the midst of the frantic eating and the chaotic crabbing down at the Dartmouth regatta/carnival (you choose) was this old lady selling these bubble machines to the public. She did have many people buying them as many children were very much amused by her demonstations and felt no need to purchase the product! And this shows just one of the excited child by the bubbles, myself included, playing with the bubbles there at dartmouth. Also i like the contrast in activity in the picture. As there is a lot of activity in the backround of the picture, with many families argueing and rushing around, however there is a sort of serene in the foreground with the child playing quietely and happily in his own bubble oblivious to the problems that surround him.

sorry no eggs

shame.

my cat. (again)

a bit too close for this picture, but i managed to take it anyway, because it gives the effect that you are so close that it looooks quite big, almost like a bear. But it isnt.

my cat.
