A black and white photography portfolio website showing both dark and light mode versions.

Well this is taking forever (and I almost broke up with WordPress in the process 🤣), but the portfolio is slowly coming together.

Masonry grid and dark/light mode are now sorted. Hope to have this live at some stage before the end of August...

A black and white photo of a symmetrical structure used to lift a bridge.

One of four pointy things (official technical term) from the Salford Quays lift bridge, also known as the Salford Quays Millennium footbridge.

Intense sunshine making for a lovely bit of contrast, ideal shooting conditions for #blackandwhite #photography 🙌🏻

Thank you 🤩🙏🏻 Much appreciated and enjoy your week ☀️

A black and white photo looking up at a perfectly symmetrical bridge.

The rather intriguing Detroit Swing Bridge of Salford Quays.

An almost perfectly symmetrical structure, built in 1941 by Dorman Long and Co. Ltd.

Although it's quite a colourful beast, the plain grey sky made the perfect backdrop for some black and white #photography action 🖤

Thanks for sharing, Francisco and great to connect 🙌🏻 Look forward to seeing more of your photography 📷

Paste up collage heaven around the Northern Quarter in Manchester this morning 🤩

Time for coffee then more exploring ☕

Enjoy your Sunday ☀️

A black and white photo of a Quentin Blake illustration of the BFG.

Bonus! In Salford on a photo mission and discovered a Quentin Blake exhibition at the Lowry.

Here's one of his actual illustrations of the BFG 🤩

Huge fan ever since I was a kid.

A black and white photo of hydrangea leaves covered in little white specs.

Nature's #blackandwhite film grain 🎞️

Back to the Darley Park Hydrangea garden here in Derby yesterday. I love how every time you visit, there's always a new photo to be captured.

A constantly evolving source of visual inspiration 🖤

Enjoy your weekend, people 🤩

An abstract landscape scene in black and white with a glowing white square in the centre and mountains in the foreground.

Album Cover Love 🖤

Sam Carter's 2024 album, Silver Horizon, features the incredible artwork of Nicolas K Feldmeyer.

It's part of a series called After All / Even After All and was created with 3D rendering 🤩

Incredible 🙌🏻

An abstract black and white image in the shape of a shield made from a modern architectural building, reflected both horizontally and vertically to create a perfectly symmetrical pattern.

The rather glorious Ingenuity Centre at Innovation Park (University of Nottingham) is the latest addition to the Kaleidoscopic #photography series.

This building has all of the right ingredients to form a highly intricate pattern when reflected both horizontally and vertically 🪞

Consistency is an art form that I have also not really mastered haha 🤣 So it's all good. Keeps it fresh when it's a bit all over the shop, at least.

Nice one, Robert. Also like yours a lot. Great to see the same place with two completely different edits.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work 🙌🏻

A black and white photo of a modern architectural building and a tower.

Great minds think alike 🤩

100% crop of the old wooden utility pole photographed this morning on my bike commute to work showing the old very weathered wooden cross member and the three ceramic insulators on top and at the edges of the cross member.

Detail because 100% crop is cool but no the photo and internet sharing and full size aren't compatible, call it a sketch or a "imagine the previous image at this size and detail" kind of thing.

A 3d rendered image of a building facade with 16 identical windows and grey bricks.

Repetition and calm 🩶

Enjoying playing around with Adobe Dimension again. This type of precision, when it comes to lining everything up, is near on impossible with real-life photography.

With 3D rendering, it takes 2 clicks to set the camera position to directly face the subject 🤩

i mean he's not wrong.

An abstract image of a college building reflected horizontally and vertically to create a perfectly symmetrical pattern with an X in the centre.

Next up in the Kaleidoscopic #photography series - This addition originates from a photo of the Nottingham College City Hub.

An already futuristic-looking building with plenty of geometric elements, transformed into something completely abstract through the power of reflection 🪞

A screenshot of the Advanced Gallery plugin for WordPress by Kadence showing a masonry grid.

Third time lucky as a WordPress masonry gallery solution for my forthcoming portfolio website.

Behold 🎉 The Advanced Gallery block from Kadence.

No big unsightly gaps like the core gallery block. Everything slots together perfectly 🙌🏻

A great session around Beverley in East Yorkshire with the Lumix GX-9 in L-Monochrome mode and shooting only squares. Such a fun day!

An abstract architectural image that has been reflected both horizontally and vertically to create a perfectly symmetrical object.

A series of geometric shapes combined to make an imaginary metal sculpture. What is it? It's whatever you want it to be...

Photography friends 👋🏻

Are you still using Instagram?

I've just signed back up, but don't think I'll be active there. I may just keep it and only use Threads.

What are your thoughts? Worth investing some time on IG or not? What about Threads?

Storm clouds over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario for #MonochromeMonday

Part of my #GettingBackToBasics project using a small set of manual focus lenses and making images the way I used to in the 1970s. In this case, my 35mm lens from the 1980s.
