NISSEN HUT

The detail in this monochrome photographic print is particularly good, showing the texture in the corrugated steel (the rust) and the old wooden window frame.

These buildings are becoming more and more rare. They originate from the First World War, where they were extensively used. Designed by an Officer of the Royal Engineer's, Nissen was his surname.

Near Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England.

A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME?

In this monochrome photographic print is a dead tree along with some live ones in this very chilly image. Snow is on the ground, and it was has I remember a really cold day.

SAND-ON-A-ROPE

Sand on a rope (slightly different from soap-on-a-rope). The rough texture of the abandoned rope matches that of the sand in this monochrome photographic series of prints.

FREEZING DAY

In this monochrome photographic print can be seen an Oak Tree. At a place known as 'Burton Bushes' I believe. One of the most coldest day's that I have ever ventured out to take photographs (freezing).

FACE IN TREE II

In this monochrome photographic print, you can clearly make out a face in the trunk of the tree on the right. Reminds me of something from 'The Lord of the Ring's.'

AT THE IMPERIAL

Three monochrome photographic prints showing my "The Normandy Veterans - Lest We Forget Project," at the Imperial War Museum - Duxford. This was my largest and most notable exhibition to-date. I really appreciated the manner and way in which the staff printed, mounted, framed and presented my photographs.

This happened because I also had another exhibition of this project on exhibition at The Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Lincoln at the same time, this was autumn 2004.

This venue is a wonderful place to visit and have a day out. Located here is the Museum of my old former Regiment - The Royal Anglian Regiment and Memorial, Air Space Exhibition Hall, American Air Museum and The Parachute Regiment and Airborne Forces Museum, and Battle of Britain Exhibition.

NIGHT-TIME TREE MOVEMENT

In this monochrome photographic print, the tree on the right is still but the rest of the nearby trees display movement due to a long shutter speed and the wind coming off the nearby River Humber.

NISSEN HUT WINDOW

MONOCHROME TO SEPIA

Another example of sepia toning. The first monochrome photographic print is a straight forward print with no toning at all. The second print has had sepia toning. This changes the whole depth and appearance of the print. I also personally think it gives good skin tones to this curvaceous young lady.

Kingston upon Hull, North Humberside, England.

From no specific project as such, circa 1988.

BLEACHED

A monochrome photographic print which as been copper toned. The image is of some obviously dead tree branches that have fallen into a peat bog. The copper toning has rendered them almost white.

Printed on fibre based photographic paper.

Thorne and Hatfield Moors, South Yorkshire, England. Now know as the Humber Head Peatlands.

From a group project, circa 1993.

SEPIA THEN COPPER TONED

Another example of how chemical toning can alter the the tonal depth and appearance of a monochrome photographic print. The top and first print is one that was sepia toned. The second and bottom print is one that was copper toned.

The sepia toning actually emphasis the texture of the bark on this willow tree and gives the print a overall lightness. Whilst the copper toning gives a slightly darker and pink reddish feel to the print.

Kingston upon Hull. North Humberside, England.

MONOCHROME THEN BLUE TONED

The same subject from a slightly different perspective. Also the second photographic print was printed slightly longer and therefore is slightly darker than the first print. The first print is a straight forward normal monochrome photographic print, the second one is the same but it has been toned in a blue bath chemical toner.

However this gives you a good idea how toning can alter the tonal depth and therefore perspective and look of a monochrome photographic print. To find out more about this location just click on: royal armouries

CLOUDS AND BLUE SKY

One of my colour photographic prints for a change. This one is of a well-known local landmark and office block. The glass in this building is the type that you cannot see through from the outside (but can from the inside). Taken on Fuji colour film rated at 100asa.
