Cracked porcelain plate abstract.
I was amazed I was even nominated for anything at Photobloggies 2005 and even more amazed that I won the Best Abstract Photography of a Photoblog category – many thanks to everyone who voted for me.
To be honest I would have been quite happy for vitrine en illumine or Chiaroscuro to have won the abstract category as they both have excellent sites and are among my favourite photoblogs. Congratulations to Dave at Chromasia on winning the Best European / British / Irish Photoblog, the other category I was nominated in though I knew I didn’t stand a chance in this one.
It felt like summer was here a few days ago, now it feels so far away again. The obstruction was a wine glass stem. Noise added intentionally.
Taken for the Photofriday Self-Portrait challenge. Taken with my Sony DSC-F55E, it has a swivel head which made taking this shot relatively easy.
I go through this tunnel every day on the way to work, when I’m not driving I usually try and take some pictures. Invariably they turn out awful as there is no light and the road is quite bumpy. This is one of the few that turned out reasonably successful.
From time to time I shall post an image from Brookwood Cemetery. It’s only round the corner from me and is a never ending source of inspiration. Here is a little info on the cemetery I found:
The Cemetery was opened in November 1854, and was the largest in the world. Today this is no longer true, but it remains the largest Cemetery in the UK, and is probably the biggest in Western Europe. Since 1854, some 240,000 people have been buried there. It was originally called the London Necropolis or Woking Cemetery. It is situated near Woking, in the North-West corner of Surrey, England. Brookwood and Woking were afforested by Henry II, but disafforested about 1225. The name “Brookwood” has reference to the large woods of oak which grew in this district in former times from which, according to local tradition, timber was used in the construction of many sailing ships.
