As Kodak fight for it's survival (it is on the verge of bankruptcy). I thought I'd turn it into a themed photography project using an action man and a £2 Box Brownie recently bought at a boot fair.
Decided to get back into this "tilt and shift" method - the art of processing a photo to give it the illusion of looking at a scale model.
The two photos were taken today using local features, since the weather continued to be fine and settled - albeit rather cold.
Another lovely sunrise this morning, as seen from the back of my house.
I'm gonna have to be more prepared and take myself to a better location for this kind of thing, but colourful sunrises - and sunsets - are very unpredictable things! That's why I do miss my daily commute to work when I was working.
Spotted over the Strait Of Dover earlier on today.
Caused by cloud condensing into as ice crystals - which can be seen as those wispy bits - but turning to as rain and then evaporating before actually reaching sea level.
Snow may seem to be lacking so far this winter, but at least I was able to get out with the camera whenever the weather does become bright and settled (in between the stormy stuff, that is!).
What you are seeing in this batch of photos are Folkestone Harbour and the beach to the east of it.
My name is Ian D J and live at Folkestone, Kent. But, am I a professional cartoonist? Am I really a pro photographer? Do I get paid by the Met Office to provide weather forecasts? The answer to all three questions are actually no. Doodling, digital photography and meteorology are all things I do just for fun as well as keeping myself occupied, I've been doing all three favourite subjects for as long as I can remember where they all are completely self-taught.
