Some abstract and some not so abstract




Here are three images I am entering in a local camera club competition , the first 2 are abstract category and the last is in open submissions. I find club competitions very useful for building a personal library of images and of course thinking and discussing work. The internet would be my main inspiration though it becomes so easy these days to experiences others work - whether on a phone or a television or a desktop . 

           The last image is a focus stack of 2 images hand held with cokin filters graduated for sky. I was told at the club  that all landscape need to be  shot on a tripod, well maybe not ! Rules as always to be taken with a pinch of salt but followed for good practice.

           If I were to look at an area in which I would like to develop my creativity it would be in content and meaning and its communication - pictures for the sake of beauty I like but I also have something to say and at the moment a lot of my work does not reflect this, time and patience and there might be some heavily contend driven photography on the horizon but at the moment I am content to create beauty for its own sake.

Paintings of Skulls by Paul Woods

New Skull painting March 2016 I have updated some of these paintings - after months 2 or so of looking at these and while starting another slightly larger one 10x12 in . I have added a few more glazes to the older paintings. Oh since taking these photos I have put a matte glaze to reduce glare, last thing is to frame these . 10x8in 10x8in 12x10 in 10x8 in
