Rural sights

Here are a couple of rural sights spotted while out for my wanderings today.

Firstly, I do apologise for the subject matter, this really isn't acceptable. I don't know what the owners were thinking. You can't just allow something like this to happen and ignore it. Someone should come along with a spade and sort this out. The smell is awful if you get up close, and clearly no one wants to wake up in the morning, look out of their window and see something like this. Yes, I know you see this sort of thing all over the place in the countryside, but that doesn't mean we all have to put up with it.

Disgusting.




Sorry about all that, but it just had to be said. Now, let's move on to a much nicer subject.

Isn't this a pleasing sight! Yes, this is more what I call  typical countryside in March This fine display doesn't just happen on its own, no, it takes real effort by all concerned. I just wish our road looked something like this, and it could do, its just a matter of everyone getting together to do their part.

Lovely.

The white stuff

Here's a high key picture.  This splendid bloom is presented against a white background to captivate and impress.  This is not a studio picture, I found the subject in a garden we visited. In fact the method I used was to photograph the flower from below and I used the grey sky as a backdrop.  Suitable application of exposure compensation pushes the entire image towards white and gives it the high key look.

Casting a shadow

Dismal dark depressing dull damp disappointing December. Hmm. Lets remind ourselves of summer when there were shadows in pictures. Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park. Its been there for 4.2 Billion years. No one knows what it does.
