Portishead - River Mud & Reflections (March 2022)

Following on from my previous post is a further selection from a visit to Portishead in March. 

Whilst taking some of the standard landscape views, I noted the low tide and the dwindling light reflecting off the river mud. This provided an opportunity for some abstract shots plus some reflections in the Marina as it started to rain. It is often the unusual subjects, like wet mud textures, that make the best abstract photographs!

Portishead (March 2022)

There was just enough time for an hour’s walk and photography around Portishead Marina before it got dark. At the end of the Marina there were views across to Wales, Avonmouth and the Severn Bridge that were almost monochrome in the fading light:

Flying Statue in Mono (June 2019)

There are occasions when a subject demands a black and white conversion and this was case when processing some photographs of the Flying Statue in Portishead Marina. The deep blue skies provided a perfect dark background for the flying figure highlighted by the evening sunlight:

Keeping with the black and white theme I also convert these pictures of the Welsh Piper; firstly as it rounded Battery Point in Portishead and then as it sailed into the sunlight on the Bristol Channel.

Lastly, a couple of scene of Portishead Marina bathed golden evening sunlight - no mono conversion required for these!
