iphone, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
The iPhone camera is not good…it’s appalling….another example of tech forced on us by American corporations. The rest of the world can handle 8 and 12 megapixel cameras on phones but because AT&T is a backward network we have to have this 2 MP crap toy camera!
That said…using various apps [...]

Newcastle

 
Newcastle, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I liked the overlapping semi circles and the reflected light…was hard to take without a tripod though.

Ok this is a bit desktop wallpaperish but sometimes one can’t resist such an opportunity. Simple, minimal and intense.

Kite surfers cold wet day

Kite surfers cold wet day, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
Very cold and wet day at Marazion Beach near Penzance in Cornwall. I was stood out on the beach watching the kite surfers get ready to go…it was bracing to say the least. I did get several great images though and I like this one more [...]

Trees, Goodwood

Trees, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I like this for the simplicity.
It was taken on a very long lens and from the top of the hill opposite. I like the pattern, the simple colours and the sense of space created by the focal plane effects.
The place was on the Downs at Goodwood in Sussex…

Post processing

Post processing, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I loved coming across this. I love abstracts and when I saw the beautiful curve and the black on white I just had to snap it. It’s been terrific taking pics in the snow as you can get some lovely bleached out shots.
I was wondering why more people weren’t [...]

Romantic River

  
Romantic River, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
A favourite spot of mine, this is…the River Mole in Hersham in Surrey. On cold mornings it always looks beautiful across the meadow as the sun rises straight in front of you. This time I decided to attempt a romantic feel to the pic – simple blurring but mixed [...]

English Lane

English Lane, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I blogged this, not because it’s the best photo in the world by any means, but because it reminds me of classic english landscape painting. For example the colours remind me firmly of Constable
I guess the modernity comes out in the fact that I deliberatly left any obvious [...]
