The clumping reeds of Slartibartfast.

I like the way this photo turned out. The symmetry is quite pleasing. I composed the shot so the whatchamacallits (flowers, fronds, buds….what are those things?) aligned over the darker trees in the background. And that turned out nicely. I will score myself a solid 7/10.

It would have been better if there was just a smaller clump in the centre of the photo surrounded by the water.
And perhaps a hint of mist?

I must speak to Slartibartfast about this1, or perhaps God, or a physicist, or the Matrix AI……Im not sure which jurisdiction matters of aesthetic reed distribution falls under.

1. Slartibartfast: a character in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. “He was a traveller and former designer of planets who specialised in fjords. An often tired and confused man, he was most unhappy with his work, but continued it anyway in the hopes that it would someday lead to happiness”. ↩︎

My portfolio shots.

Photographers will usually have a portfolio of photos that they consider examples of their best work.

Whilst I do not yet consider my work to be worthy of claiming a portfolio….I do have a selection of photos I am happy with. Shots I rate above 7/10 on the self-deprecation scale (0 = landfill shred, 10 = must have been a fluke).

Be it composition, or colours or content, here is a selection of my work-in-progress that are OK by me.
