Phew, the wedding is over but the post-processing lingers long.
I helped a friend shoot her nieces wedding.
800 odd shots (that's just mine!), and 13 hour day later (home to home time) I am still feeling the effects. . .
I won't be posting many pics as most have people in them. . .but here a couple of the venue detail images.
A good wedding photographer is worth their weight in gold - wish I could say I was one. . .;(( - its a tough gig. . .and I am so not prepared to go that road. . .

I've been experimenting with light lately. I've been taking photos of various objects in different light and with different exposures. So far I quite like my results :-) What do you think?

I have become fascinated by the clear water in these hillside burns - the colours of the pebbles and stones are quite something ...
Stow on the Wold is a hill top town, its church visible for many miles in all directions. Such a site meant water was always an issue. Down Well Lane, just a few hundred yards north east of the town is this great stone tank, the main source of water for the town for many centuries. Women and children carried water with yoke and bucket from the spring and Water carts plied between Well Lane and the town where the water was sold to the townsfolk at the price of a farthing a bucket. Several systems had been tried to force water up the hill including windmills, horse-mills and water wheels but all failed. In 1871, Joseph Chamberlayne-Chamberlayne, lord of the manor, donated £2000 to the town for a deep well to be bored and this was a success, but mains water didn't arrive in the town until 1937.
The crystal-clear water still gushes from a natural spring into the deep stone tank, and the outlet is a hole beneath it, just below the pumpkin. It has never been known to fail.
I'm confused by the various listings. British Listed Buildings has this as St. Edward's (Stow) Well, but there is another St. Edward's Well on the other side of town near Maugersbury.) British History Online seems to refer to it as Upper Well, also known as White Pump, but with no mention of it as St. Edward's.
This is Marianne Sund, a norwegian singer/songwriter. In this picture she is performing at Musikkfest in Stavanger. She has a beautiful, crystal clear voice.

A late Sunday night post. This week will be kind of crazy-lots to do & think about. So many grey areas in life-if only everything could be black & white or crystal clear. I'll try & keep up with my comments as much as possible.
It is very clear, indeed, that someone has consumed the contents!
This photo was shot from a Hasselblad 500C with a Carl Zeiss S-Planar 1:5.6 f=120mm lens and Kowa Y2 filter mounted on a 10mm extension tube using Efke R50 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
Once the sun is out, you will see the real magic of "bonin blue".
The Ogasawara Islands are also called the "bonin islands" and the deep blue is called the "bonin blue".
Clear blue skies of late fall get reflected off the crystal clear pure waters of Lake Margaret.
The level of the water in the lake is actually higher than the surrounding valleys. But the waters have been dammed by impermeable rocks on all sides.
Old school "photographers" might scoff at the V-shaped symmetry in the reflection. But this is what looks good to me and that's all that matters!

"Winter, a bad guest, sitteth with me at home; blue are my hands with his friendly hand-shaking.
I honour him, that bad guest, but gladly leave him alone. Gladly do I run away from him; and when one runneth WELL, then one escapeth him!
With warm feet and warm thoughts do I run where the wind is calm--to the sunny corner of mine olive-mount.
There do I laugh at my stern guest, and am still fond of him; because he cleareth my house of flies, and quieteth many little noises."
....
"Impatiently do I wait then, that the clear sky may finally dawn for me, the snow-bearded winter-sky, the hoary one, the white-head,--
--The winter-sky, the silent winter-sky, which often stifleth even its sun!
Did I perhaps learn from it the long clear silence? Or did it learn it from me? Or hath each of us devised it himself?"
~ Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900 ~
From "Thus Spake Zarathustra" - 'On the Olive Mount'

As per a request. I bought these new, drank them and saved the bottles, had to dig them out of storage, but I still got them.
