Posted on Thu, 8 November, 2018 by LensScaper

Strolling around with a camera, on the look-out for the next image to capture, I enjoy the challenge of attempting something different. These are often experimental ideas. The results commonly end up being deleted back home, but there is sometimes … Continue reading →

Light Streams

Posted on Mon, 2 May, 2016 by LensScaper

In the course of the last week or two I’ve been pruning the archive. It’s a necessary task as hard disk space gets swallowed up. Images that no longer hold appeal or have been duplicated (or bettered) can be binned, … Continue reading →

On the stairs

Posted on Wed, 27 April, 2016 by LensScaper

Solarizing a B&W image in Photoshop is very simple and is always unpredictable. What surprised me on this occasions was the way the process handled an elliptical cloud that hung over these steps – it was the cloud that had … Continue reading →

Departing

Posted on Wed, 25 November, 2015 by LensScaper

We are finally departing. The packing up is complete, the house lies empty – a mere shell of its former self, the windows like soulless eyes. New owners will now create, craft and shape a new home. We wish them … Continue reading →

The Bar

Posted on Tue, 18 August, 2015 by LensScaper

The Bar is at the heart of a hotel. It’s where people gather for a drink and a chat. A bar that is inviting visually will win more custom than a bar that is uninspiring. This is the bar of … Continue reading →

At the end of the passageway_2

Posted on Wed, 2 July, 2014 by LensScaper

This follows on from my previous post. I was on my way from Charing Cross to Southbank via Hungerford Bridge. About a minute’s walk after taking the images in Passing By, you reach a long narrow closed-in passageway. A bit … Continue reading →

Milton Keynes is home to one of the longest indoor ski slopes in the UK. This image shows part of the Xscape’s roof inside which is the SnoZone. Today’s image started off life as a rather unremarkable picture taken on … Continue reading →

At the end of the Passageway

Posted on Mon, 27 January, 2014 by LensScaper

The image today is a type of image that has been shot so many times before, that it has become hackneyed; and your immediate reaction may be: ‘Oh No, not another…’ But faced with a classic passageway and a figure … Continue reading →

Balcony and Chair

Posted on Wed, 15 January, 2014 by LensScaper

I spotted this on a walkabout in the Theatre district of MK a few days ago. This is a building I’ve walked past on many occasions, but perhaps I hadn’t looked up at it from this direction before. There are … Continue reading →

The Stadium

Posted on Mon, 2 December, 2013 by LensScaper
