I had all but given up waiting for a plane to fly through when this one appeared suddenly. No time to check the composition, it was just point, shoot and hope for the best.Canada Square
“There is strong shadow where there is much light.”

The camera sees things differently than the eye. It doesn't exactly lie, nor does it really tell the truth. It just records. The rest is up to the optical engineers, the glass, and the darkroom deities.

در ملتقای الکل و دود
آنگونه مست بودم
که از تمام دنیا
تنها دلم هوای ترا کرده بود
می گفتم:
این عجیب است
اینقدر ناگهانی دل بستن
از من که بی تعارف دیریست
زین خیل ور شکسته کسی را
در خورد دل نهادن پیدا نکرده ام
حسین منزوی

Dead tree. Treborth Road, Bangor, North Wales.
Grey and damp days have been the norm for a couple of weeks now and that means an opportunity to photograph this beautiful gnarly tree which is dead from the bottom of its trunk upwards. I hope it never gets removed as it is really eye catching and quite majestic when seen from the road as you drive by.

High Contrast .
My first idea for this week was a square on shot of the front end of a mid to late 50s Chevy Bel Air with it's face full of chrome , trouble is they are a bit rare this way so I had to make do with an oblique view of a Jaguar - think it is an XE . Being white it attracted me for the high contrast , but playing around with the shot I found a very tight crop and a slight sepia conversion with a further play with the colour made for a suitable shot for this week's challenge . And before you ask , no that is not it's real reg. plate number - as I usually do I alter number plates for people's privacy . As I took out the letters a bit at a time , the computer one by one just replacing them with the numbers which looks better than just some squirlley obliterations .
In the first comment box is another high contrast shot , this time in colour - looks like this chap likes his VW Beetles !!
And "Who" remembers this Jaguar ? I know I did not remember it !!
My eldest daughter, Catherine, on her prom day. By pure coincidence, I took this picture just at the same time when a professional photographer pressed his shutter. His external flash units produced this wonderful over-exposed effect on my humble point-and-shoot... How about that? (No Photoshop)
Mi hija mayor, Catherine, el día de su graduación de bachillerato. Por pura coincidencia, tomé esta foto justo al mismo tiempo en que el fotógrafo profesional del colegio presionó su obturador. Sus unidades externas de flash produjeron este maravilloso efecto de sobreexposición sobre el sensor de mi humilde portátil... Qué les parece? (No Photoshop).
