A Ghostly Statue Of Limitations
It had nearly got to the end of the day when I realised I'd forgotten to get an image so this is very much a rushed effort which did not come out the way I expected at all.
It's a shot of our garden statue, Miss Hannah, who's portrait I have captured for blip on several occasions before so she is my kind of emergency go to. I was trying to get a fancy schmancy shot through one of our garden chairs but my focus point was wrong as was the aperture and ISO thus demonstrating my limited (or just plain wrong!) technical skills yet again but when I looked back at it I actually rather liked the strangely ghostly glow!
When I showed it to my brother he said it reminded him of images taken by some of the earliest photographers dating back to the 19th Century - the likes if Henry Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron and Eugene Atget. I'm not entirely sure that's a compliment considering they managed to capture such evocative images using much more rudimentary equipment than that which I have at my disposal! :-)
