Long road
We are all walking towards the great Tea Shop in the sky. Will it still be open when we get there?

The phone is ringing. Summon Scrollocks the butler and tell him to call a maid of all work to answer it.

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.
