Monochrome beacon

This was very ordinary until I took the colour out of it and tweaked the levels a bit. I really like it now - especially those crazy cloud shapes. I'd like something eye-catching in the foreground but you can't have everything can you?

If I'd managed to get my act together sufficiently to capture this shot of a touring tandem couple properly I'd have used it instead of this one, but I still had my aperture shut right down for the landscape and forgot to check it so they came out all blurred. I wish I could say that'll teach me but the disappointing truth of the matter is that it won't. I guarantee I'll make that mistake again.

Boy in field

More wide-angled madness from the weekend. I can't decide if the sun streaks on this photo add or detract from it. I think on balance the latter, but when I showed this shot to Oskar (our model) he said he thought it was the best thing about it. Perhaps he's right. Those hills in the background are the Malverns, which are apparently delightful walking country - would love to test out that theory one of these days.
