Winter Jasmine

 It is ages since I have been out with my camera and I have been a bit stir crazy. I was pleased the other day when my neighbour told me she had some beautiful winter jasmine flowering in her garden and said that if I wanted to photograph it I was welcome.

Although this flower has no scent it is certainly beautiful and is a welcome splash of colour when everything else is dying off.

The Pumphouse Three

 

I haven't posted anything for a while now, the last few posts were from my night time shoot down at Liverpool's Albert Docks and before I move on to something else I thought I would share one more from that shoot.

This was my last shot of the night looking towards the Pumphouse. Normally there would be some smaller sailing vessels moored here but with an empty dock I have been able to capture some lovely reflections.

I have given the picture three different treatments. Firstly I have stuck with the bold and bright true to life colours and then in the second I have kept the settings just the same but reduced the saturation somewhat and in the final image I have used a black and white pre-set which gives the scene a real punch.

I like all three images, a lot. I can't pick a favourite but I would be interested to know what you think.
