After a fairly dispiriting Critique Session on Tuesday I went out with my camera this morning to try and get some images that might be even more abstracted. The conditions were much more stable and as a result provided less opportunities than earlier in the week. However, I have picked out the following images to record my journey and my efforts on the Loch:

And finally a negative version of my favourite patch of reeds!

A few days of still weather has meant less energy in nature, in terms of movement on the Loch. So I have been continuing with slow shutter speeds but with much brighter colours capturing the patterns and shapes:

Slow Shutter Speed Reeds 30 - Alison Price, July 2019

Periods of duller weather has also allowed me to work with more subtle and muted tones too:

Would really find feedback helpful at this stage. . .

Hi Alison
Was reading your blog email yesterday and sad to see that you found your critique session dispiriting… was this with your tutor? That doesn’t seem very encouraging to me and at the end of the day this is an arts subject not bridge building, there has to be room for interpretation!
Anyway hope it has not got you down and that you are now getting good shooting weather. The slow shutter speed photos demonstrate quite a variation don’t they? But all are interesting. In one or two I wasn’t sure if I was looking at reeds or their reflection!
Keep smiling and ‘snapping’!

PS if you would like a comment on the actual blog then I am happy to do this… won’t be quite so strong though!
