A FISTFUL OF PICTURES (Part Seven)

Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Millenium Wheel and that mobile phone looking building are among others I could see were not far away but .. I simply could not risk getting to .. even just one.

By the time I had spotted and recalled the Tower of London I was at H.M.S Belfast which I took pictures of. So looked temptingly close while also being a little out of reach.

Despite my orthotic Salamon shoes and Pregabalin .. this would have been too much as I am dogged by tiredness, knee and back pain and my shoulders would have hurt before I got back to the bus stop.

Extremely .. frustrating.

 Photography involving sculpture is something else I want to get into .. Museum visits too which I keep wanting to do but have not managed as yet.

A FISTFUL OF PICTURES (Part Six)

I managed to get out again as I had planned ..

I saw many things that I wanted to get to with the camera .. I mean in line of sight that would have only taken ten minutes .. but I could not.

Some pictures I took did not turn out as I had imagined, funny how that works, and no matter how hard I tried I did not create anything I really liked.

But then I was getting tired, was in pain, had chest issues going on and various things on my mind .. like death for one over two people.

I wanted to do this while I was here because the bus journey is dead easy and I will be doing it again .. hopefully .. but like this day .. only on a Sunday and, of course, if the weather is good.

Along with my many symptoms I have been dogged by a new one that seems to have something to do with .. balance and I noted that many pictures were a little skewed. This has never been a problem before and unfortunately I have no one to speak to about it .. GP wise as I currently do not have one .. long story .. NHS' fault as ever. I have been trying to correct this but NHS England are being their usual idiots selves.

Anyway here are a few more pictures ..

Where it should have ended three years ago but did not .. omitting a couple of things they stated to me from the letter .. I half expected so I recorded both lol

A FISTFUL OF PICTURES (Part Five)

Some more selections from a series of photos I have acquired from a coupe of shoots recently .. I wanted to be somewhere not too far away getting some landscape stuff but .. no sleep and in some difficulties with health.

No sleep really does mean no sleep, lol.

As stated I am previously getting a feel for everything and despite knowing a few things there are many post-processing techniques I am unfamiliar with.

I have realised that due to the types of pictures I am branching out into .. some of these techniques are going to have to be learned! Sheesh .. something else to learn?! Well .. nothing wrong with that .. if I can get back to a comfort zone at some point I am well away from right now?

I cannot think of any more right now .. though I am bound to go out in the next couple days and after sleeping tonight, fingers tightly crossed, I have other RAW file photos to go through to see if there is anything I have missed?

There are also several dozen others I could put through post-processing that I had previously not done before, other than adjusting exposure, saturation and vibrancy.

All others can be found here ...

Remember I am currently messing around getting familiar with my post-processing software which is rather good and NOT Adobe.

Sorry .. I am BSc Applied Computing and I really do not like the idea of monthly rentals, which is spreading like the proverbial plague and I wonder if anyone will actually own anything any more ten years from now.

I would have otherwise used Adobe Lightroom but I am currently using Affinity Photo by Serif.

A FISTFUL OF PICTURES (Part Three)

And again as I work through the many photos to find the ones I actually like .. as opposed to many I thought others might like but which I am not entirely sure about .. or changed my mind and decided I do not like them ..

These and many others not on here in all manner of photographic styles can be found at ..
