Two more images here. The first taken with the Chinese DF Great Wall. The second, without the black border, is digital. Goes against the grain to shoot digital but I'm not getting the time to develop film at the moment.

I have decided to rename the rather dull sounding 'Silver Birch Project'. Understanding how to photograph trees and their environment (rather than taking a conventional approach and taking images of whole trees) has been a major struggle. 'Trees and Their Remnants is the result. The latest is shown below.

More to follow.

Another using the Great Wall. This time on HP5 at 200ASA.

Another spin-off from the Silver Birch Project. This was taken in Ruislip Woods. I was packing up my gear after photographing a fallen silver birch tree when my eyes glanced towards my feet. The birth of another project I believe!

This was taken with a Chinese medium format camera, the Great Wall. I really like the softness that the lens produces near wide-open and the border effects, especially at the bottom edge (produced by the strange shutter I believe).

A rare shot from me in colour. Well, tending to a green monochrome.  This one is part of a small series taken along the railway walk in Jersey, following my current attempts to move away from street photography.

Most of my photographic life has been devoted to street photography using a small 35mm camera and shooting pictures quickly as fleeting opportunities pass by.

A couple of months ago I thought that a new direction was needed to stimulate some mental refreshment!

So, I have taken to using a plastic medium format camera (Holga TLR) and a tripod. The aim is to take single, carefully considered frames. rather than rolls and rolls of spontaneous pictures.

Here's an image from my first Holga project - The Silver Birch.
