Merry Christmas
OK I lied this is my last post before Christmas. I wanted to take something new and festive since we have all this snow about at the moment so, after work yesterday I grabbed the tripod D40 and my IR loaded Spotmatic and went out to the canal. Unfortunately by the time I got away from the house over to the other side of the water I had already lost the light and was left with that horrendous orange sodium glow that blights pretty much every urban area in the UK. I got a few shots of on the digital but nothing that worth keeping. I wasn't going to have the chance to try it again today either as I had to stay in for a delivery (which still hasn't arrived). Fortunately though the cats seemed fascinated by the falling snow outside this morning and gave me a chance to get something festive before the Christmas madness properly kicks off. I hope you like it.
Merry Christmas all!

Still not been out to shoot anything new although I have lots of ideas for when the stupid season is over. Also just took delivery of my first roll of IR film so I'm looking forward to experimenting with that and my hand me down Spotmatic.
I took this picture over a year and a half ago and instantly after uploading it I wasn't really very happy with the treatment I had given it. It was too glowy and I wasn't happy with the green tones. I'm well aware that I've probably over done it again with the texturing but I felt since pictures from that spot are a dime a dozen, I'd do something to make mine stand out a bit. Something other than making it look like it had been coloured in with a highlighter pen that is.
Assuming I post nothing before then, Merry Christmas everyone
