A photographic start to my art year of 2024.
In producing ”Moonlight at the Weir in Sepia“ I made six versions of this photograph in all from several shots I took whilst walking approximately 2.77 miles in the evening. My walk included the local nature reserve and lake area.
This photograph shown above is at one of the weir’s near the ‘cervix’ area of the lake (southernmost). I have often viewed my local lake as resembling the shape of a womb.
Next photograph is the same composition in black and white, monochrome:
Personally I thought this shot is interesting enough to publish online.
For contrast here is another shot I took on the night, ”Orion the Hunter from the Field“. You will need to click on this image to see this in the best light:
If you kindly click on ”Orion the Hunter from the Field“ you should see three stars at a circa thirty degree angle to the vertical in close proximity [zoom in on the photograph, three stars lower-centre-left]. Those three stars are ‘Orion’s Belt’. Amongst my fave stars to see in the night sky. Their names are Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka.
On this night Jupiter was also clearly visible, although I have published Jupiter photos and art in earlier posts [links immediately below for those interested]:
Solarscape [above] is pretty enough to post.
Then we have an imaginative photograph where I liked the idea of eyes peering out as a robot or android:
Finally I couldn’t really choose between Sepia and a Monochrome version of ”Moonlight at the Weir”, so here is the Monochrome edition too:
It was a fun, artistic start to my 2024.
