Upon reviewing a sample image from each of the sets together it becomes apparent how uniquely differing the individual representations are. And yet, certainly for me, anyhow, they are also feel like they are meant to be together, bound by the theme of the split tone. For me the prospect of continuing to expand this collection…

This pondering has culminated in a pleasing first set of image contributions for a Cornish contingent of the ‘Incidental Landscapes’ collection.  I have yet to fully realise the colour balance that will assume the title of the chosen county colours; For me, blue and yellow reflected the cold and bleak yet often illuminative qualities of…

I tend to take a camera with me on most outings ‘just in case’.  Just in case of what, I am never quite sure, but I do know that the number of times I have been out and then felt exasperated because I didn’t take a camera have certainly been significant in the past.   The…

Set one of my travel images are in essence the usual holiday snaps kind of material.  These I take on my Sony RX10iv bridge camera which I try to carry with me most places that we happen to go.  I even take it with me if we are going out for a meal in the…

Incidental Landscapes are therefore, just what they say on the tin. They occur as a result of our travels, they just get created along the way. They are not planned or thought about until they happen. I get conscious of the time I take to compose and work out a shot or in my case to…
