The Obligatory Bluebell Shot….
At this time of year, it’s important to go out and capture the bluebells that carpet this green and pleasant land. I have a good reason to be satisfied with the bluebells this year, because this area in the photo is one that I have worked on as part of my volunteering with National Trust. We have cleared and expanded the ride through the woods – mainly to help the butterflies move around, but as a bonus it helps the bluebells because of the extra sunlight.
BTEC – ‘The Woodturner’
This was completed for “People in the Countryside”. I wanted to get a classic black and white social-documentary style shot. This was taken at a local countryside fair. I knew the woodturner would be there, and I was aiming to get a shot like this. What I like about the composition is that it is a photograph of a woodland activity, but with a building in the background, which makes for a “clash” of images. If it had been in a woodland environment then I think it would have been a less interesting picture. Converting to black and white has worked well. The main feedback from my tutor was “I’d like to see more hands” – I think he was right…
