Sunset on 2020
The last sunset of 2020.
31st December 2020
I sat this morning listening to the news and its all very depressing, not a great start to the day!
I took Splat on the Old Hills. It was cold enough that most of the mud was frozen. It was a beautiful, cold, frosty morning and the sun wasn’t long up. It completely turned my mood around.
I’m looking forward to a much better 2021.
From the Hill Top
I’ve had fun over the last few months exploring new running routes and discovering some of the local footpaths. One takes me from the Old Hills over a hill and down to Jennett Tree Lane. At the top of the hill there are great views of Worcester and the Malvern Hills. Today we had a wander up there with the dogs and my camera. Hope you like the views as much as I do.
Lensbaby Plastic Optic
I’m taking part in the Definitely Dreaming Project 52, which involves taking a photo each week throughout the year based on a prompt. The prompt this week was “Stillness”, which inspired me to get my Lensbaby plastic optic out.
When I went out this morning the plastic optic was still on my camera. It was a beautiful spring morning. The sun was bright, strong and still fairly low in the sky. I was trying to capture the flare and streaks of light through the trees.
As so often happens with Photography things didn’t go to plan. The sun was so strong and because I was shooting into it the colours were really weak. However, when I converted them to black and white using one of my favourite presets they developed a haunted feel. What do you think?
