Scared but bored
A new distraction while locked down:
Watching my cactus grow.

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

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.
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.
