#ForestFriday

Focus on branches.

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #nature #treelovers #trees
A colour photo of horizontal branches snaking out from what I think I remember to be a single large beech tree that has two main stems rising out of it (might be two trees close together, but I don't think so). The afternoon light catches the bark with a slight glow and green leaves abound. A bit of overblown white sky (alas) in the centre.

#FungusFriday

I'm not a mushroom hunter, but this gorgeous clump was screaming for attention. Research tells me they're probably Velvet Shanks.

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #mushrooms #fungus #nature
A colour photo of a mound of bright orange mushrooms crowded together (and a couple smaller clumps and strays) growing on a cut tree stump. Probably Velvet Shanks.

#Scape

From the archives. The storm passes: Merced River, Yosemite Valley.

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #landscape #Yosemite #NP
A colour photo of the residue of a stormy day in Yosemite Valley. Looking along the swollen river (with rocks, branches and tufts of grasses) towards pine tree and the granite mountains and cliffs of the park. Bright patches of cloud, a hint of blue sky and swathes of fog around the cliffs.

#tiltshift #urbangaze

From the archives. "Toy town Prague"
This photo from a city break to Prague of the city from the Castle area proved to be a good candidate for tilt-shift technique.

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Prague #phototechnique
A colour photo of Prague, taken from the castle area. Looking down on pastel buildings with red roofs and across the rest of the city, which appears as a blur. Tilt-shift technique applies a narrow focus and heightened saturation, which makes the scene look artificial and miniaturised, like a model train set.

A b&w photo of a man with glasses, wearing a tweed jacket, shirt and tie and dark trousers, standing against a stone pub wall under rows of large mullioned windows. He reads a paperback book. A picnic style table is next to him, supporting his overcoat, bag and a large furled umbrella

Day 3 [A song outside your usual taste]

Ralph Stanley, "Calling You"

I have wide tastes, but this is on the far edge. It's wonderful and good for singing harmonies - if you're not walking down a busy street at the time (that said, I'm sure I've done that).

Welcome to February.

January saw us have 4 named storms within 5 weeks in south west England. Not cold so much as extremely wet. And now everything is dank. Really dank.

The river Dart on such a morning.

A somewhat mysterious house in my town. Late Victorian, but no typical (but made of local stone).

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky
#blackandwhite #monochrome #ClassicMono #architecture
A b&w photo of the top half of a house (the bottom obscured by bushes). On show is a rectangular tower topped by a sort of squared-off conical lead roof (there's probably an architectural term for this). Behind the tower (which is built on a corner) you can see stone walls, a gabled roof and also a more complicated roofline with tiles.

#MountainMonday

From the archives. Three days in Zermatt, and this was the best view of the Matterhorn on offer. Shy mountain.

#photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #landscape #mountain
A colour photo of the iconic Matterhorn mountain, as seen from the town of Zermatt, Switzerland. The shape of the mountain is only vaguely discernible behind the swathes of cloud clinging to it.
