Still locked down and with the weather continuing to be as grey as grey I have very little to report from the last few weeks. As mentioned in my last post I’ve been going through my images – some 40,000 dating back to the year 2006, when I began my journey in digital photography. I’ve retained the habit from my film days of taking a three-frame burst for most landscapes, with 1/3 stop difference in exposure between each one. This was crucial with transparency film as you really only had one chance to get the exposure right. With digital it is far less important – especially with full-frame, I’ve found, which is so forgiving of minor errors. So after every photography trip I have a very large number of surplus files to examine, rate and dispose of. I’m getting quite good at it now but going back a few years I kept far more than I needed to.
As well as deleting about 6,000 of them I’ve found a few gems which I had missed the first time round. Some might be suitable for postcards and there are also quite a few “abstracts” which will never see the light of day unless I post them on my blog and/or website. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is a selection. Enjoy!

Lovely textures and colours Jerry.
Yes, one of the great little tin sheds of Wales! Thanks for commenting.
Thanks Andrea.
I think my favourite is the third one down which is intriguing, a painted door I think?
Wow, fantastic photos!
Thanks Karine. I see you have a fair few abstracts on your website, too…..
Yes, I like to take reality out of the picture, where possible. I also love textures.
I find its not often that easy to find textures and abstracts. Some people must just be more tuned in to them…..
Quite possibly. I see a lot of it.
