Posted on December 17, 2015 by simongregor

Compositional techniques like framing and leading lines are not just about making pretty pictures, they should also be a key part of the way in which each picture tells its story.  With something like framing, the relationship between the frame … Continue reading →

Sunset

Posted on December 11, 2015 by simongregor

I promised landscape after the last few days of abstract meanderings, so here we go.  Sunset pictures are often considered to be principally about the colours, but I think that’s only part of the story – the shape of the … Continue reading →

Posted on January 27, 2015 by simongregor

I’ve been busy working on my photography food and drink project for the Guildhall Library, so I thought I’d ring the changes today and post up a flower picture! I’m always struck by just how much green space there is … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2015 by simongregor

Chilly winds, rain and snow seem to be the main themes of the weather at the moment, so here’s something bright for today.  I’ve posted a different image previously of the Laburnum walk at Wilton House, but I think this … Continue reading →

A spring bloom

Posted on January 6, 2015 by simongregor

People often talk about “the dark days of winter”, though in my experience there is plenty of light and colour if you choose to look for it.  Today’s bright and fresh image is a bit of a cheat, as it … Continue reading →

Blue everywhere

Posted on October 30, 2014 by simongregor

I lived in Devon as a toddler, so I must have seen St Michael’s Mount as a child, but to be honest I can’t remember having done so.  The first time I “knowingly” saw it was in 2011, when we … Continue reading →
