Reconstruction


                              


Long time exposure taken from a ropeway car going up to the summit of Mt Inasa, was getting too dark and didn't have a tripod so just played around with the light. Stunning views of Nagasaki, a city with a dark but also bright history and future.

Red Dwarf



















Doing what I enjoy the most abstracting the crap out of architecture. In this case the Colosseum. One of my mentors in photography told me once I needed to stop photographing older buildings and focus on more modern stuff. They had a fair point and really didn't go back as a result  but when in Rome went back to my roots. 

Walked all around the Colosseum and found these gems on the backside.

Gives off a real surface of Mars vibe.  

Think the sequence here works well with the intro and outro images kind of completing a circle metaphorically and physically. Might work well as a 3 x 3 square with the first and last in the corners.

Would have been interesting to see what I could have done had I had full access to the inside rather than just walking around the outside.

Trevi - B


















































































































 The day time version focusing on specular reflections caused by the sun reflecting off the water in the Trevi fountain. Specular reflections from sunlight are more of a challenge as only one light source and the light source keeps moving throughout the day so the best place for relictions will shift throughout the day. Only had one session here but would have really got more varied results had I spent the whole day there, could I really be bothered? Not really, will leave that up to someone else to pickup the mantle.  

All the images turned out about the same, so really couldn't edit a series out of this so just included them all. 


If you want to see the effect of specular reflections at night time see Trevi - A
