iphone

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 [...]

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.

I think that the lonely figure in the [...]

weybridge – home from the park

weybridge – home from the park, originally uploaded by Richard Adams.
I always liked this pic. It was a totally natural picture taken in a totally natural setting. The dappled light gives the picture both atmosphere and texture. The subject of the pic is almost skipping which gives the picture a lovely jaunty ambience.

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 [...]
