johnloguk > 17.12.09 - Snow in the Sunset It has been bitterly cold today, just above freezing but with a biting East wind making it feel much colder. All day blue skies alternated with snow flurries, and it made for an exciting sunset, so long as you had your back turned to the wind anyway! Thanks for the kind words on yesterday's Daily, it is one of my personal favourites.
johnloguk > 16.11.09 - Big Blue This is another shot from my walk round Whisby Nature Park yesterday afternoon. I gave you a view of the small things yesterday, so here is the bigger picture, it was such a beautiful day. We had a glorious sunset this evening, with a full arch double rainbow in the sky at the same time. But sadly I was stuck in the middle of a housing estate, and although I tried there was no way I could capture either successfully. I'm really struggling to comment on the Dailies at the moment, partly through being busy, but also because I'm having problems with Smugmug logging me out every time I change pages again. This is a shame because the quality of pics on the Dailies has been fantastic lately.
johnloguk > For my first contribution to this gallery and community I thought I'd create an homage to one of my heroes, Don McCullin. He earned his reputation as a war photographer, but in recent years has specialised in atmospheric black and white landscapes. He has inspired me with everything he has done, so this seems fitting :)
johnloguk > 14.11.09 - Look Up I've taken so many photos from this viewpoint, but this is the first time I've turned the camera on it's side and included the sky in the shot! I was taking photos up round the Castle and Cathedral this evening, trying to find a different perspective, then I noticed the sky. The clouds were moving across like smoke, lit by the floodlights and the trees were swaying overhead. People were all wrapped up against the wind and were shuffling along without taking notice of their surroundings. I think I was the only person who noticed the clouds!
johnloguk > 25.10.09 - My Place In almost 2 years on the dailies I think this is the first time I've shown the outside of my flat, albeit a distant view. It is the three windows, set back above the rear of the car on the left, if that makes sense. Anyway, I'm sure you're all looking at the sky not my place! I went out to catch the sunset, but there wasn't any colour in the West, this is the sky in the East! Last night we put the clocks back and got an extra hour's sleep. The downside is that it is now dark soon after 5pm :(
johnloguk > 12.10.09 - The End of Another Beautiful Day We had a beautiful sunset this evening, but it was a real struggle to photograph it. I was still working, chasing customers who weren't in, and above me I could see this wonderful light show in the sky. But wherever I went I was hemmed in by trees and/or buildings. This was the best I could manage just as the colours were fading. Thanks for the wonderful comments on yesterday's triptych, especially those of you that found the time to visit my Arboretum gallery as well. I feel so bad when I can't reciprocate with comments of my own, but I'm just so busy all the time at the moment.
johnloguk > 29.9.09 - Wild Sky This was last night, not long after I posted the collage as my Daily. Skies like this normally appear after a storm, but this one came as dreary grey clouds simply broke up at sunset. I was on my way to see a customer and pulled over to take a couple of quick shots before the colours disappeared. I've not taken any photos today, it has been so manic that I didn't eat anything until 4pm!
johnloguk > 15.9.09 - The Kite I was very lucky this evening. I went to see a customer, but I was early and she was "having her hair done"! So I had some time to kill. I had a drive round looking for photo opportunities, and found some guys flying a large paraglider style kite. It was almost impossible to photograph, I just couldn't get in the right position. But as I was trying the sun went behind a cloud and this happened. So I quickly pulled back from the kite and fired off a few shots before the sun re-appeared. I increased the contrast slightly to accentuate the rays without making it look unreal. I've been really busy again the last couple of days and only been able to make a few brief comments, so thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my photos.
johnloguk > 11.9.09 - Under a Blood Red Sky What a way to end the week, guess who is glad he dragged his carcass out on the off chance of a nice sunset? On the average manic Friday I finish work around 8pm, then stagger to the take-away to order myself a Lamb Shish. This evening I thought the sky showed promise so walked to the old quarry instead. After about 20 minutes this happened. To add to the Zen nature of the moment two guys were practicing marshall arts just down the slope from me. I've got a stack of images to process now, which I'll upload later. In the meantime enjoy this one. I think it is appropriate considering the events of today 8 years ago. There is a collage showing how this developed here; http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Landscapes/LINCOLN-SUNSETS/4053411_yY5Qg#646412670_L65BH
