52 Frames week 16: Under/Over Exposed . . .
“ Ancient rituals ”
I’m travelling at the moment, so making the most of the places I visit for this week’s challenge. I ended up with two quite different options, one under and one over exposed. I finally decided on the underexposed view from inside a Neolithic long barrow burial chamber in Wiltshire. I quite like the textures inside the tunnel contrasted with the very overexposed entrance.

Happy Ēostre . . . A pretty pastel Easter wreath

Happy Ēostre . . .
A pretty pastel Easter wreath on a door caught my eye when I visited the oh-so-picturesque village of Lacock. I thought it would be the perfect subject to post on Easter Sunday, with eggs being symbolic in ancient pagan rites celebrating fertility and the Spring Equinox. This image is a composite of two shots, one where the wreath is slightly larger in the frame than the other.

Ancient resting place . . . Continuing my journey

Ancient resting place . . .
Continuing my journey through Wiltshire’s fascinating prehistory and pagan monuments, I walked from Avebury in a circular route taking in other sites. While not as well known as the town’s stone circle, I enjoyed seeing the West Kennet Long Barrow, which was far more spectacular than I expected. It’s a huge burial earthwork, 12 meters long, that would have contained remains of hundreds of people. The weather was changeable, but the clouds made a nice backdrop, with the sun breaking through every so often. I also liked the daisies in front of the entrance.

White horses . . .
Influenced by the original white horse at Uffington, created in chalk downs of Oxfordshire over 3,000 years ago, I thought a post featuring one of these incredible pieces of landscape art, or geoglyphs, would be a good start to the Easter weekend, with all the pagan symbolism associated with this festival. It turns out the ones in Wiltshire are comparatively much more recent, with this, the Cherhill Horse, dating back to 1780. Still, it is a pretty awesome sight when you first catch a glimpse of the hill figure. This is really best viewed from a distance, where you get the benefit of the horse set in the flank of a fabulous rolling chalk ridge.

52 Frames week 15: details . . .
“ Pollen gatherer ”
As I happened to be at my brother’s who has a beautiful old pear tree in his garden, I decided to used my macro lens to take a few shots of its blossom. A complete bonus was being able to catch the insects that were also attracted to it. This is my favourite shot of a honey bee, on its way into the flower to collect more pollen to stash in the sacs on its legs.

Just a quick post this morning of an image created from a few shots of a field of dried grasses that I walked through on a recent local hike.

52 Frames week 14 Levitation . . .
“ Flying wheelies ”
I admit I found this week’s challenge extremely tricky. I had a few ideas for what would have been complicated studio arrangements that I wasn’t entirely sure about, plus as we had a rare spell of lovely weather, it was too just good to be inside! In the end, I decided to focus on athletic prowess to illustrate the theme of levitation and headed down to my local skateboard park. A couple of guys, one on a skateboard and one on a stunt bike, agreed to let me photograph them. This is my favourite shot from the shoot where the cyclist is completely airborne.
A couple of credits this week . . . a big thank you to @billymjones4 and his friend for agreeing to be photographed. Also, this is inspired by a wonderful shot of an airborne skateboarder that won a recent photo competition I organised in Bolton, so thanks to Peter Kennington.

Landing stage . . .
Another shot inspired by the wonderful photos by @helen_trust who we met in our recent tutorial as a part of @janina_wilde1 on multiple exposure course. Again, the base image was taken on my trip to St Anne’s beach and I was pleased to find out that Helen had also made a visit here to photograph the pier as well. Apparently this lone structure out in the Ribble Estuary used to be connected to the pier and served as a landing stage for steamers between Blackpool and Liverpool, but with changes to the navigation channels, the pier became stranded on dry land.

High as a kite . . .
I’d originally headed to St Anne’s on the Fylde Coast to take long exposure shots of the pier so that I could create images for a brilliant course run by @janina_wilde1 on multiple exposure photography. The brief was to create images in the style of the talented @helen_trust who takes beautifully minimalist landscape shots, often characterised by a square crop, pastel colours and long exposures. While I took some long exposure shots, I couldn’t help being distracted by a lone kite flyer on the beach, so I flipped my camera settings for high shutter speeds and took a few shots. While I like the primary colours of the kite, I blended the original with two more sky shots to bring pastels into the image.

52 Frames week 13: mood . . .
“ Yoga calm ”
I had a sudden flash of inspiration at the yoga class I go to on Tuesdays so I asked Kay, my yoga teacher, if I could photograph her for this challenge, with the idea of conveying a sense of calm. I went back later in the week to take a few shots with her. The yoga studio contains some lovely authentic gongs, which made a nice backdrop, along with a string of fairy lights. With no windows in the studio, and dimmed ceiling spot lighting, I opened the door to the studio to bring in some natural light.
A big thank you to the lovely @kayholtyoga at the @themillstudiosbolton .
Please swipe for the intended crop (the one I submitted to the challenge).

Winter collage . . .
I’ve reworked a shot I took (and posted) earlier this year as a part of a course on multiple exposures I’m doing at the moment, run by the talented @janina_wilde1. It’s really getting me thinking in different ways about photography, which is great! I was inspired to create this after we studied the amazing multi-layered abstract art by @clare_pistache .
This is a panoramic pic, so please keep swiping to see the full image.
