'Remember'
‘Remember’. An elderly war veteran sits at his desk, surrounded by some of the mementos of a life long lived. His remote cottage is cold and lonely, but he is used to hardship and sacrifice. Warmed by a solitary oil lamp and a cup of coffee with a nip of whiskey from his ever-handy hip-flask, he is now alone, but happy... I love to include any oil-lamp or candles in a scene as they add such wonderful golden light, giving a touch of warmth and hope to what could be a rather melancholy scene! Again, the composition is aimed at creating an overall impression or tone, and historic details are almost certainly inconsistent! 1 and 3/10s F7.1 at ISO100 with Canon 50mm F1.8 mkII, (80mm on my crop-frame camera).
