Wells Foggy Morning Landscapes - October 2019

Another of my favourite foggy misty mornings. The first bright and cold morning of the year.
Bishops palace fields in Wells have beautiful specimen trees, these were good practice for landscape especially as they are well laid out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 low key, cool colour edited in lightroom

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 please with the detail on the grass and soft silhouette of the central trees.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 high key soft silhouettes

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 low key - love this old dark horror look.

Happy with the softness of this shot. 50mm

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 the mist creates a back light for the silhouettes to stand out.

 Canon 50mm lens f/22 - liked this shot enough to try three ways

 Canon 50mm lens warm colour filter in lightroom

 Canon 50mm lens f/18

 Canon 50mm lens f/22

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - taken the following week with a different lens with higher f stop.

Canon 24 - 100 lens f/22 - I liked the landscape shots of the first set but wish I'd had a wider lens with me. Preferred the 50 mm lens but with the lack of mist there weren't the silhouettes created in the trees.

Climate Strike Wells - 20th September 2019

Extinction Rebellion Climate Strike in Wells Somerset. Wells has an active sustainable group along with newly elected progressive leaders on the council from the Green Party and Lib Dems. 

I missed the meeting in the town square but couldn't miss the huge procession of people young and mature walking past the studio window. People settled on the Cathedral green with their vibrant banners and pledges, a wonderful mix of school children, parents and grandparents. 

It was a positive step forward with clear actions we all can take to be responsible citizens of this planet. 

Freesias

Freesias from Lynnsey Kelly flowers. I love the green and white on the black. Needs a tripod to get super sharp detail on the petals.

Pink Lisianthus

Rose - Lynnsey Kelly Flowers

The classic rose, bold and very beautiful. I love how strong and leathery the leaves are as a silhouette. My pictures make them look quite dry so maybe I need to try misting the flowers first?

Wax Flower - Lynnsey Kelly Flowers

I love this flower, just like the wax bridal crowns of the 1930s and 40s. And it smells so delicious.

Vintage Powder Rose

Lynnsey Kelly Flowers - Dahlias

Lynnsey Kelly gave me the most beautiful bouquet this weekend so I photographed each of the flowers in the hand tied bouquet.

These are the Dahlias photographed with the Canon 5D f/1.8 edited in lightroom

Lantern Parade Wells Somerset

The first lantern parade in Wells, Somerset. January 2019.
In the rain, it was magical as one by one these beautiful paper lanterns arrived in the pitch black darkness of the park. The drums started and the procession bobbed along to the Cathedral. One of the most simple and effective treats to see in Winter and I look forward to 2019s lantern parade in Wells.

December 2018 Journey to Work Somerset

It was a sunny foggy morning on my drive to work and the pastel colours against the black of the trees were so beautiful.
On the most in Wells the mist was rising from the water, I wish every morning could be cold and crisp and this lovely.

I should be excited about all types of weather and try to capture it with my camera learning new techniques along the way.
