Part six of Infrared Week. This is a view down into the Avon Gorge, seen from the Clifton Suspension Bridge. The use of infrared film makes the water turn an eerie black while trees glow a pale white. Mamiya C220 camera with Mamiya-Sekor 80mm f/2.8 lens and Efke IR820 Aura film.

Jaywalking
Jaywalking, or as it is more concisely known in the UK, crossing at the red man, really winds me up. So I decided to capture it for this week’s Photo Challenge – things that make you angry.

I think these pictures are even better than the last lot, and probably some of my favourite photos ofContinue reading “More of Winter at Oldbury Court”

They may be lighter than cars, but they stop more suddenly and change direction more unpredictably. On a regular basis, pedestrians who haveContinue reading “Mobile phone users cannot walk in straight lines”
Slow shutter
Today I decided that I wanted to go out and take a photo of blurred pedestrians walking down a street, using a slow shutter. I’d never tried this before but I thought I knew what to do. I used both of my ND filters (an ND4 and an ND8) to limit the amount of lightContinue reading “Slow shutter”
Mountain road
This steep road leads from the port of Messina to the town of Taormina, through the foothills of Mount Etna. The coach I travelled on passed along the roads you see here minutes before I took the photo.
Sea, road and rail
Well not quite sea. This is a view down the Avon Gorge.
