Variations, Comogli, Liguria, Italy

Visiting the small town of Camogli, north of the Portfino Peninsula in Italy on a not so bright day

I thought I would see what variations I could come up with using different combinations of lens and film with the Hipstamatic App.

Shades of Autumn

Shades of red

Against red.

Berries and leaves

Remind us that summer is at an end.

The Last Sunset of 2013

 A gap in the storms that seem to be battering the British Isles at the moment,

the afternoon of December 31st, New Year's Eve, was bright and clear,

allowing the last sunset of 2013 to be captured down at Crosby beach.

Soon after this shot was taken the banks of cloud rolled in and the rain started again.

Red Winter Skies

The redness of the autumn leaves

seems to have been matched by this winter sky

on the last day of November.

The afterglow of the sun

spreads an amazing warm palette of colour

of the clouds above Crosby beach.
