So I went out shooting on Sunday, which turned out to be a beautiful day for it. This time I took more landscape shots and experimented with adding old photographs to the mix of objects I placed into natural settings. It feels like I'm moving away from a nostalgia theme and into something different, although I'm not quite sure what yet. I'm liking the feeling of the images and the way they play off one another, and I'm starting to get a glimpse of ghostly presences in a place where so many people come today to enjoy the little bit of natural scenery left in our area. Anyway, here are some of the new images - they haven't been edited at all, so bear that in mind :) Feedback always welcome!
Fascinating stuff. I think the objects have the potential to enhance the natural surroundings and vice versa, even if I do not know the subtext of it all! Stemming from your "ghostly" comment, I do get the sense of specters inhabiting the trails and these antiques are apparitions they conjure up sporadically - or maybe tokens placed by others to remember them. Going too far perhaps!
ReplyDeleteAlso that first image is remarkable - you must be using a tripod right?
As always, thanks for the feedback. No tripod, just great light that morning!
