All at sea with a blister
I wandered up and down looking for something a little different to capture. I’ve visited the area a few times before so it is always fun to try and find something new. I investigated some different shooting angles of the public art along the riverside, along with picking out details of the National Glass Centre. I was also sticking to my 40mm prime lens so I really worked for my rewards. There was a lot of zooming with my feet along with sprawling on the ground, looking like a crumpled pile of discarded clothing.
Putting my feet in the air
Photography can become a very restrictive practice, if you let it. It is easy to become creatively confined by only shooting one genre, in one particular style, or with only one subject of interest. I realise that tunnel vision is often necessary to push ourselves forward to fully understand a specific aspect of the craft. However, it can easily become the only focus and we can miss so much by not stepping outside of these confines and dipping our toes into different waters.
In search of the fiery ball
The sun only appeared for about 90 seconds on my walk, but it did make for an interesting late afternoon sky over a nearby farm. I watched it for a while and then tried to capture the beauty on camera. I couldn’t do it justice via digital sensor.
