Exciting news (for me) in rural North Cornwall. As we were leaving to go out two weeks ago, a couple of white vans were parked on the verge opposite our house and men with fluorescent jackets on were sort of chatting and pointing at a hole in the ground. There was also a metre diameter … Continue reading Superfast
Still Blurry but Closer
I was over on 35hunter reading one of Dan's series on close-up equipment (yes, I know, my last post was about not being overly concerned with equipment but generally I read most of what Dan posts, even when it's equipment focused - and this is one of the types of photography where a variety of … Continue reading Still Blurry but Closer
Technical Stuff
Do visitors to my blog need to know what goes on to produce the image that I put on here? Generally, I've avoided it. There's deliberately not any file info on my images here apart from its actual file name normally (and I'm not even very good at organising that). To me it's just not … Continue reading Technical Stuff
Rusey Cliffs and Lundy
When I went out yesterday it was a little cloudy but bright. As I got to the beginning of the track that leads out to the coast path, where the view over the ocean opens out, I could see that there was a weather front just threatening to travel up the Bristol Channel and perhaps … Continue reading Rusey Cliffs and Lundy
Renewal
A year has passed since I decided to make this blog 'my own', by paying for a domain name and to go without adverts.I know this because I have just had notice that my payment for the next year of it has just arrived (notice that it has been paid, not that it was due … Continue reading Renewal
Surprise
I logged in to my Twitter account this morning to find a lovely tweet from Lucy, super-talented creator behind the Silence Killed the Dinosaurs blog. This was a surprise because I normally get an email from Redbubble when I make a print sale and I hadn't seen this one. Then I remembered that Lucy also … Continue reading Surprise
Still here…
Hello, I thought I'd better post something new here, just to show I hadn't abandoned being the photographer called Bear R Humphreys. Life is generally good but I have had a string of MS-based fatigue relapses over the new year season that have kept me from really getting enthusiastic about anything at all really.I have … Continue reading Still here…
A Day in the Life of a…
Unusually for here, no picture by me on this post. What? Oh, go on then, just a little one. Click it for a screenfull. What I actually came here to post today is this link to a blog by Elizabeth Dale at Cornish Bird Blog. Elizabeth's blog is a great read all of the … Continue reading A Day in the Life of a…
Reeds
The ICM technique (longer than technically correct shutter speeds, handheld and in daylight) normally has me moving the camera during the exposure but in this one the reeds were waving around in the breeze. So on a few shots I managed to get my camera movement 'in synch' with the reeds waving around, creating a … Continue reading Reeds
The Autumn Mists
What can you do when you wake up to a cover of low cloud cloaking everything in silence and muted softness but nip out to the garden in your dressing gown, camera in hand, to capture some of the delicacy and subtle autumnal tones. I have now uploaded three (slightly) different pictures in a … Continue reading The Autumn Mists
A Fine Autumn Day
I've typed too many words accompanying my posts recently. Here's a picture.
Transition
After my last picture using relative simplicity I have gone to the other extreme. Autumn is now arriving and the countryside around us is of course preparing for the shorter days and colder times. I think I've managed to get many of the colours of the landscape around us now into this picture of some … Continue reading Transition
