johnloguk > 4.12.09 - Rhapsody in Sepia I took this at the Christmas Market last night. I'd hoped to go back there this evening, but it has been a very long day and my cracked rib (it's a long story) is giving me some serious grief. So I had a play with the shots from last night instead, and sepia seemed to work on this one. Photos can't convey the true atmosphere of the Christmas Market, the sounds and smells, the pushing and shoving :) Roast chestnuts, wild boar sausages, mulled wine, yummy! I'm putting together a gallery of the Market here http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Travel/LINCOLN-CHRISTMAS-MARKET-2009/10526553_uJU9o#731057440_yNTeM Huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my photos while I've been busy elsewhere again. Especially those of you who take the time to visit my other galleries.
johnloguk > 3.12.09 - Steaming Ahead I was expecting to be posting another night shot today, but that was until a friend told me that a steam train was coming to town this afternoon. This is the steam locomotive "Bittern", built in 1937, and very impressive it was too. It was bringing people from London to Lincoln's Christmas Market, which is highly likely to feature in my Dailies over the next few days. I thought the sepia treatment suited the subject matter, but a lot more "normal" shots of the train can be found here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/10523514_oR9rh#730816291_E5sr2
johnloguk > 25.11.09 - Stones, Light and Shadows I went into town this evening to get some more shots of the Christmas lights. I walked back up Steep Hill and took a few shots around the Jews House, the building on the left. It was built in the 12th century and is the oldest domestic building in the UK, possibly Europe. With the Cathedral just poking above the trees on the hill I thought sepia worked well with this. I had a bit of luck with the positioning of the girls as they walked past the light. I've added some more photos from tonight in the gallery here; http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Photography/CHRISTMAS-LIGHTS/10418872_wA9mz#723948638_u9mhV
johnloguk > Getting High I didn't think I was going to post anything today, been way too busy, didn't even get the camera out, which is very very rare for me. But after a couple of beers this evening I had a play with this old transparency in photoshop, and it sort of turned into my homage to Ansel Adams. He has always been one of my heroes, but I've never even considered trying to copy his style in any way. This just happened from nowhere, and was all over in a few minutes. Inspiration? Who knows, the mind does strange things, especially when you're very tired. The original of this has always been one of my favourite images. I took it in 1991 on a climbing trip to the Annapurna Himal of Nepal. The best I can hope is that it captures something of the spirit of the trip, and of these beautiful mountains in general. Everyone should do this at least once in their lives. The world looks different when you come back down.
johnloguk > 12.11.09 - The Age of Steam I'm posting early today with a re-working of an image from the Model Railway Show last weekend. Just to give everyone a rest from night photography too :) Those of you that haven't already checked out the gallery from the show can find it here: http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Photography/MODEL-RAILWAY-EXHIBITION/10251184_B9N36#707077837_nomY3
johnloguk > 24.10.09 - A Walk in the Park We've had another of those strange days, with on and off rain until late afternoon, then a sudden clearance and beautiful weather to finish the day. Having dodged the rain in town all morning, I thought I deserved a walk in the park once the sun came out. I went down to Hartsholme and Swanholme and shot off about 100 photos, some of which are here; http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/5965117_7hV9D#691213196_QUw74 and here; http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Nature/HARTSHOLME-COUNTRY-PARK/6221276_jhJTP#691140151_ZGi8E I was agonising over choosing a Daily, then thought that this image was the stand out shot of the day. Things fell into place once I added the sepia filter and frame, I hope you like it as much as I do.
johnloguk > 17.10.09 - Dusk Walkers I didn't intend another monochrome, but after a long and frustrating day I took a short photo walk at dusk, and this treatment really seemed to suit the image. This is one of my favourite places for photography, by the north-east corner of the Cathedral, and it has featured as a Daily at least twice before. I love it at dusk when the lights have come on, but there is still some colour in the sky. You wouldn't believe there is a road off to the left and traffic lights at my back. You don't have to wait long for people to walk into the image and give it human interest either. Apologies for minimal commenting yet again, but I seem to be in a permanent state of rushing about and high stress at the moment
johnloguk > 4.10.09 - Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo More ghostly goings on in the "ghost corridor". I think yesterday's ghost pic had a romantic feel to it, so I tried for a more Gothic feel to this one. I promise to do something different tomorrow :)
johnloguk > 20.9.09 - Old I'm still playing catch up here. This is a sepia treatment of one of my tourist board commission shots from last week. Gainsborough Old Hall is a perfect example of a medieval manor house, dating from the 15th century. No two surfaces are perpendicular, so there is no point trying to correct the distortion from the wide angle lens :) I'm currently trying to fit a week's work into less than 2 days, because I'm going to Wales for a couple of days with Steve tomorrow.
4.12.09 - Rhapsody in Sepia

I took this at the Christmas Market last night. I'd hoped to go back there this evening, but it has been a very long day and my cracked rib (it's a long story) is giving me some serious grief. So I had a play with the shots from last night instead, and sepia seemed to work on this one. Photos can't convey the true atmosphere of the Christmas Market, the sounds and smells, the pushing and shoving :)

Roast chestnuts, wild boar sausages, mulled wine, yummy! I'm putting together a gallery of the Market here http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Travel/LINCOLN-CHRISTMAS-MARKET-2009/10526553_uJU9o#731057440_yNTeM

Huge thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my photos while I've been busy elsewhere again. Especially those of you who take the time to visit my other galleries.
