Between The Stones

Between The Stones by duncmc

With a couple of hours to kill the other evening I revisited St. Mary’s church yard in Elloughton. For a while I have fancied a crack at some infra red photography, and this is the best of my first attempts.

Through A Fresh Pair Of Eyes by duncmc

I thought it was time I revisited an old haunt. I’m glad I did as a new viewpoint presented itself, one which I hadn‘t considered before.

Beneath The Dome

Beneath The Dome by duncmc

Beneath The Dome from duncmc via flickr.

The doric or tuscan temple on Rievaulx Terrace in North Yorkshire. The incumbent toff nicked the mosaic floor from the choir in nearby Reivaulx Abbey and had it installed here. A gross act of vandalism, without which the mosaic would probably not have survived the ravages of time.

Some more photos I took at this location can be seen on flickr, including a couple of shots of the ionic temple and picture of Nunnington Hall.

The third and final image in the series. This one I like for the shapes, and is probably my favourite of the three.

The second in the series. I like this one for the tonality in the image.

Chimneys #1

Chimneys #1 by duncmc

This is the first of a series of three pictures taken while walking near the river. The subject matter and treatment of all three photos is very similar, but I like each one for different qualities. This one I like for the symmetrical composition.

Enough Of The Suspense

Enough Of The Suspense by duncmc

Another of my many shots of the Humber Bridge. I took this back in March and used HDR processing to bring out the detail in the image. I like the quality of the water and the contrast in the underside of the bridge on this one.

Waiting For Billy

It’s great when you find a point of view that makes a worthwhile picture out of the mundane. I drive under this bridge on my way to and from work, and it has been on my “to do” list since I saw this on flickr back in December last year.

The picture is taken underneath the approach road to the Humber Bridge, where it crosses Ferriby Road in Hessle.

A Moment To Reflect

A Moment To Reflect by duncmc

A Moment To Reflect from duncmc via flickr.

I took this photo back in January. The setting sun had painted the sky with some very nice colours, which is what I was interested in when I took the shot. However the lone figure and the low view point gave the shot a certain mood which I thought was enhanced by the monotone treatment.

This image was featured in Vazaar’s “Solitude” theme and is another from my Humberscapes collection. (That’s the Humber Bridge in the background by the way.)
