Late autumn colour


Autumn seems late this year,
mid November and this beech tree
is still glorious in its autumn coat.

Winter's stark skeleton revealed


As autumn progresses
Leaves fall
Leaving the bare winter skeleton
Stark against a multi hued sky.

Deepening Autumn


As October advances
leaf colours deepen
to rich warm shades
as the weather cools.

Autumns Rich Palette


The simple beauty of nature.
Autumn's rich palette of colour
is contained within this sycamore leaf.

Georgian Liverpool


There are certain subject for which the Hipstamatic App is ideally suited.
I was taking some photographs in Falkner Square, Liverpool and, when finished, decided to
try out some of the Hisptamatic combinations on this leafy, shady section of old terraces.

I thought this was my favourite but then I tried the combination below.

Autumnal Palette


A simple bramble leaf,
veins shot through
with flames of yellow
against a fiery red and orange,
painted by autumn's palette.

A Rose by Hipstamatic


The Hipstamatic App has added several new "films" to its stock recently.
I chose this beautiful creamy rose as a suitable test subject to assess the qualities of each.

The Sussex Film has a quality similar to the standard camera but gives the
image a slightly roughened shaded border with is simple without
being distracting, but, for this subject, I love the antique feel to the rose
that the C-Type Plate Film produces.
