I have just released a set of images of the River Waveney that are available as prints:
This is a recent photograph taken during an early morning walk on a fine winter’s day. This stretch of the river is only 10 minutes walk from where I live so my wife and I often go for a brisk walk down to, and along, this part of the Waveney. This river is part of the area known as the Norfolk broads but it also forms much of the border between the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk – we live on the Norfolk side.
For the processing of this image I have used a technique to give a more ethereal or dream-like quality. I quite like the effect but realise that it is not to everyone’s taste. Should you prefer something more conventional, this view was taken after a light covering of snow:
This image was taken a couple of years ago but I have re-processed it to provide a print image – this is available up to A2 size. I like to orangey tones in this image caused by the warm glow of the low winter sun and enhanced by the reddish brown colour of the reeds and tree stems.
Taken earlier still, this image when there was a brilliant blue winter sky:
Again, this was taken along the stretch we walk along. I don’t always carry my DSLR but when I think there is an opportunity for fine photographs I take it with me. On this morning the conditions were superb: bright sun, blue sky and little wind allowing the river to act almost perfectly as a mirror – just a few light ripples.
You can see the full set of these images in the gallery where you can find information about purchasing these prints or others of the River Waveney.
