Finsthwaite Tarn.

Captured during a walk around Finsthwaite Tarn (High Dam), in The English Lake District, on February 1st. 2013.

Morning Mist.

An exercise in The Rule of Thirds.

Everyone who has studied art, design or photography, should know about The Rule of Thirds - so I'm not going to go into a detailed definition of what it is, and whether or not it is important in composition.

I tend to dislike being bound by rules and conventions.

This shot, however, conforms to the rule.

Winter horizon.

Late last week, I bought a new compact camera (a Canon PowerShot S100), specifically for moments like this. When it's just impractical to be carrying a DSLR.

Still.

Posted on Instagram earlier today, I thought this photograph deserved a place here too.

I hope you like it.

Waiting.

 

Late Afternoon.

This is the first photograph posted here, to be taken on the iPhone 4S. It is exactly as shot. No filters have been applied and no modifications made. Considering the fact that it was shot directly into a setting sun, the level of detail and lack of lens flare is pretty remarkable for such a compact, multi-optic lens and CMOS sensor assembly. Any blur can be attributed to me, standing on a steep bank, hanging on to a hedge for support.
