Lockdown - A little bit of criminological reflection! I was locked down this morning, writing some lesson plans but the stunning light fall on the books distracted me and made me dash for my GR3! (Btw another very short light opportunity!) 😊 😷

Brussels lockdown : From 21 November to 25 November 2015, the government of Belgium imposed a security lockdown on Brussels, including the closure of shops, schools, public transportation, due to information about potential terrorist attacks in the wake of the series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Paris by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on November 13. One of the perpetrators of the attack, Belgian-born French national Salah Abdeslam, was thought to be hiding in the city. As a result of warnings of a serious and imminent threat, the terror alert level was raised to the highest level (four) across the Brussels metropolitan area, and people were advised not to congregate publicly, effectively putting the city under lockdown.

Belgium Covid Lockdown : On 10 March, the government advised to cancel any indoor scheduled events to be attended by more than 1000 people for the month of March. Prime minister Wilmes stressed this was not an interdiction but rather a recommendation. Schools remain open but are advised to cancel trips abroad and multi-day excursions in general. Companies are advised to have their personnel work from home as much as possible and allow flexible working times to allow a better spread of public transport use throughout the day. The authorities called this reinforced phase 2.
Late in the evening on 12 March, after a meeting of the National Security Council, the Belgian government moved into the federal phase of crisis management, and ordered the closure of schools, discos, cafes and restaurants, and the cancellation of all public gatherings for sporting, cultural or festive purposes from Friday 13 March at midnight onwards. It was stressed that the measures taken were not a lockdown because people are not required to stay home.

On 17 March, the National Security Council decided to take additional measures, based on the evolution of the spread of COVID-19 in Belgium and on recommendations of experts. Stricter social distancing measures were imposed from noon the following day until 5 April, with non-essential travel prohibited, non-essential shops to close, gatherings banned, and penalties to force companies and individuals to abide by the rules.
On 20 March, from 3 p.m. onwards Belgium closed its borders to all non-essential travel. Earlier, the governor of West Flanders had complained about Dutch and French citizens coming to Belgium for tourism or shopping, while mayors of municipalities close to the border with the Netherlands such as Paul Van Miert of Turnhout urged their Dutch counterparts to request their national authorities in the Netherlands to implement similar measures as in Belgium, in order to stop Belgian citizens going to Dutch cafes or restaurants. From 25 March onwards, people arriving at Brussels Airport were handed over a leaflet with the compelling advice to quarantine themselves for a fortnight.
On 27 March, the National Security Council and the governments decided to extend the measures until 19 April (end of the Easter vacation). On 15 April, the containment measures were extended until the 3 May.

During the UK wide COVID-19 lockdown I was finding it frustrating that I couldn't really venture out and shoot the sort of things I normally do. So with plenty of time on my hands indoors, I decided to set myself a little challenge, to document my family in as simple a way as possible.
Basically all I used was one main camera - my Sony A7iii and one lens - my Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4. I would shoot only in camera JPEG and use the in camera black and white profile.
In post process, all I did was some simple crop and rotation corrections. Im sure I have one leg bigger than the other - always seem to be wonky!
I really like the set of images and I might make a little book out of them. I think it captures our moods quite well. Happy one moment, and bored and sad the next.
Kinda glad we can venture out a bit more these days; even if we aren't completely out of the woods yet. The freedom feels amazing....!

'I always feel like somebody's watching me' sang Rockwell in his 1984 hit (which features Michael Jackson on backing vocals assumably because Rockwell's dad was Motown CEO Berry Gordy). And he wasn't wrong. In today's always-connected society the feeling that you're being watched is very real indeed. Because you probably are. Being under lockdown hasn't really helped to allay this anxiety for Marcus here but he's getting on with things as best he can. Aren't we all.
Well, there it is. My first solo mission. I'm pretty pleased with the final product - from the skin tone to the wallpaper. Now I just need some sunshine again and I can move on with some modifications before whitewashing and starting all over again.
Cheers

Feeling stuck in the four walls of your bedroom?

Stepping Out
.
About a month ago I was going mad behind the four walls of my room and was doing so much, (my to-do lists were ridiculously long) that that in itself, drove me barmy as well. Very much struggled to find the medium. Stepping out and being able to enjoy the park for the day has been wonderful, but I must admit, I have adapted to my routine of staying in. This was my first shot that I took in this project, back then it represented being stuck within my 4 walls. Upon reflection, it can be both.

During Lockdown I've been keeping my photography brain busy with a self portrait project. Using my bedroom wall, things I can find around the house and my feelings about this bloody lockdown. Which you may or may not, possibly relate to.

This popular local Greene King pub and eatery was recently closed for refurbishment and rebranding from Hungry Horse to Flaming Grill. It had only reopened for a few days when the order was given for pubs to be closed.
Incidentally "lockdown" is a word which is much overused by the news media with their love of hyperbole. I'll be glad when it goes out of currency.
The streets are quiet, but not quite silent, at the end of the sixth week of COVID-19 lockdown in Newport, Isle of Wight.
There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.
The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them.
The slope off the footbridge, Bell's Bridge, converges with ramps in the footpath along the River Clyde.
Whilst walkers are two a penny, roller skiers are something of a novelty here. Each of us set out shortly after breakfast so it would be quiet, only to find lots of people had had the same idea.
