Ode to Ralph Eugene Meatyard

Below are results of experiments with long exposures and slow film (50 asa). Most shots were taken with a handheld camera and an exposure of 1s or more. Although I have experimented with long exposures before I decided to continue after having seeen examples of Ralph Eugene Meatyard's "no focus" photos as well as long exposure shots from Alexey Titarenko http://www.alexeytitarenko.com/.

Statue with flash, Parque de Malaga

At the weekend I re-shot a statue in the park close to my house with a combination of daylight (early morning shadow) and flash. The Metz flash was mounted on a stand to camera right. The idea is to make a series of figures lit with flash against dark backgrounds.

Forest Scenes, Sippersfeld, Germany

On our return from Uganda (see July 2010 posts 'Trip to Africa') we stopped off in Sippersveld, close to Frankfurt in Germany. The cool and dark forest was quite a contrast to the hot plains of Africa.

El Colorado, Household Objects

For our summer vacation this year we stayed in a house in 'El Colorado' close to Cadiz and to the beaches of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light). Here are a few shots of objects found in the house photographed in strong sun with shadows cast on an outside wall:

Two Streets, an exhibition by Magee and Haslett

Over the last few years I have been taking photos in the streets of Malaga. These are usually taken in quiet or abandoned corners of the city and are without people. Philip Magee, fellow member of Andaluz (http://andaluz-fotografias.blogspot.com/), has also been shooting in the streets. By contrast Philip's photos are mainly of the life and colour of the city's people. We thought it would make a great exhibition to put a selection of these photographs together. With the help of another Andaluz member Paul Trevor, who acted as editor, we have made a selction of 13 pairs of photos.
