I’ve had a busy few weeks recently, what with finishing pictures for my exhibition and doing DIY at home. Not only am I proud of my pictures but of the bathroom decorating I did too!
My latest exhibition “The Magic of the Levels” is now on display in West Mendip Hospital, Glastonbury. If you’d like more information please see exhibitions.
If you’ve been to see it I hope you enjoyed it. I’ve received many lovely comments so far and had a lot of interest in the pictures. If you’re interested in buying a picture please contact me. A donation will be made to the friends of West Mendip Hospital for all pictures sold.
As the year rolls on the position of the setting sun has been moving further westward meaning that the whole of the Somerset coastline becomes interesting for coastal sunset pictures again. I’m sure the Dorset coastline photographers are missing the sunsets…
I visited Burnham-on-Sea to take pictures of the lighthouse a few weeks ago. Whilst there I met fellow photographer Greg Stewart. It’s always nice to meet other people by chance.
Clevedon has been my most recent location as I wanted to capture the sun setting behind the pier and try some long exposures. One of my favourite pictures from my trip there is this 30 second exposure just after sunset with the pier in silhouette against a clear orange sky and pale blue sea. I used a Lee ‘Big Stopper’ filter to cut down the amount of light entering the camera so that I could use an exposure of 30 seconds, thus blurring all detail from the water.
Spring is well and truly here now so everything is starting to come back to life. Watch this space for more images soon!
