I give thanks to the moon for its lighting abilities and shining bright to light my subject.. taking images like this is what I find fulfilling … being a creative artist that can find something different in a subject and create something I hope to call

What do you think of these four images what one do you thinks best 1 - 2 - 3 or 4

Creating this fine art style image based on my original image of a boat taken on the river blackwater .
Sometimes as a creative landscape photographer you have to think about where you’re going to take a picture once you have captured it.. .
Be that a simple crop or a play about with the light and shadows of the image. Maybe even like this image you take it one step further
with fine art comes the use of the artists imagination and creativity and those limits are endless.
I don’t do nearly enough of this kind of thing.. but I do love creating work like this..
What’s your take on this edit …. Do you think it would look good as a print !

Timeworn & Timeless – When Ruin Becomes Art

What once carried stories across water now lies silent—its decay echoing a quiet kind of beauty. I was drawn to this forgotten vessel for the emotion it holds in its bones. Framed naturally by wild foreground growth, it felt right to shoot both a vibrant color version that celebrated texture and tone, and a monochrome version that leaned deeply into the drama of form and shadow.

This is the kind of scene that reminds me why I photograph: not just to document, but to interpret. The image isn’t just about what’s there—but about how it feels to stand there, still, with the wind brushing past stories long since whispered into the earth.

📸 Shot on-location along a quiet estuary in the golden stretch of late afternoon light. Edited in both colour and black and white to explore emotion through contrast and tone.

👉 Let me know which version speaks to you more—colour or monochrome?

🔁 Save, ❤️ like, and 📲 share if you’re drawn to forgotten places.

It’s such a bugs life !
A couple more shots from yesterday walk..
I see way more wildlife than locations to photo shoot but think sometimes we have to photograph something different to grow as a photographer. And keep things fresh !

Do you agree.

Not something I do often but today while out on a short walk I see this housefly and while I was taking its picture a 7 spotted ladybug come to the party…

Don’t think the fly come out too bad ! Not even taken on a macro lens just a standard 16-50mm Sony lens.

What do you guys think of these images..

Behind every weathered hull lies a story of voyages of history meet ‘Brent,’ the guardian of the quay.

Shot on a wide‑angle 16-50 mm, f/8, ISO 100 to keep both the intricate rigging and the distant shoreline tack‑sharp. I framed the shot through the wispy fronds in the left foreground, creating a natural vignette that guides the eye toward the vintage steam tug. The soft, diffused daylight under a cloud‑dappled sky brings out the subtle textures in the peeling paint and rivets, while the low‑angle perspective emphasizes the boat’s stoic presence against the river’s gentle curve. I chose a slightly desaturated color grade in post to preserve mood without losing the warmth of the funnel’s ochre tones.

• What emotions stir when you see a vessel that’s charted countless waters?
• Have you ever captured a moment where old‑world machinery meets natural calm?

Save this for your next creative inspiration—and follow along for more fine‑art maritime explorations through the lens.

There’s something about a lone sailboat, moored in glassy water under a sky full of drama, that speaks to the heart of every landscape shooter. I made this frame at the edge of an estuary on a partly cloudy afternoon—perfect for that balance of soft light and rich contrast.

Gear & settings: Sony a7 + 16–50mm f/4 | 16 mm | f/11 | 1/125 s | ISO 100
Filters: Circular polarizer to cut glare; 0.9 GND to tame the sky
Processing: Balanced highlights/shadows in Lightroom, boosted clarity & texture to bring out every ripple and cloud
I placed the mast along the right third and let the horizon hover just above center to emphasize both water reflection and sky drama. The foreground reeds add depth and lead you into the scene—one of my favorite tricks for immersive landscapes.

If this brings you a moment of calm today, tap ♥️, save for inspo, and let me know in the comments: what’s your go‑to filter combo for shooting on overcast days?
