Title: My latest project
Post by: Aidy on April 02, 2020, 15:47

Trying to keep an active mind with all of what is going on so I have found a new subject for my photography....
Allotment sheds!
Wonderful structures andnot so wonderful but all very interesting, everyday I do three laps of the site with my camera snapping all sorts but the sheds struck me as really interesting the way plot holders keep them or maybe not  :lol:
Wheelbarrows are my next subject.

Anyway here is the link if you want to have a browse... https://www.flickr.com/photos/185163568@N07/albums/72157711567136871 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/185163568@N07/albums/72157711567136871)

When you said your "latest project" I thought you were going to tell us what you were going to be knitting. I am disappointed, I'd love to see what you'd bend a pair of knitting needles to.

Lovely photos thank you for sharing, I was bought a little book of allotment sheds some years ago.

Aidy, they're marvellous pics, beautifully set up!

You've done what I wanted to do fifty years ago, which was try and photograph rusty, old abandoned cars...

My main problem was that I didn't have a camera at the time..:0(

Sheds are palaces, and you've made them much better!

I like the wheelbarrows.  Like mine they look like they've been dumped like a shopping trolley in a canal but could have been left deliberately like that, or thrown aside in exhaustion/exasperation,  either way parked rather than discarded.

Lovely photos Aidy  :D  Black and white is particularly good at bringing out textures, isn't it?

So right Yorkie!

My old business partner spent thousands on cameras etc, and found several ways to depict his subjects, and his results weren't half-bad...

But black and white seems to bring out an answer you never knew you wanted to ask for!
