I have many shoots from the past - including whole trips - that I have not properly edited so my resolution this year is to review and edit images from shoots that have thus far been neglected.
Frosty sunrise at the Bunny Bridge 2019 - five years ago. Can’t believe I haven’t done anything with this.
So much of photography for me is the act of being out photographing while the editing element is more screen time which I don’t love. Hence the neglect. But when I was thinking of locations to visit this year, I frequently came back to the point that I have shot the location before but not edited the shots. So now I am spending time reviewing shoots from corresponding months in previous years and will share these ‘new’ images in blogs. So here are the January contenders.
A couple of weeks later in 2019 up to London, this was shot from the viewing platform on the Tate Modern
I have covered 2020-22 fairly well in previous blogs. I started consistent blogs in 2020 - and these are well worth looking through ;) - so most of the ‘revisited’ years will be 2018-2020. Which is quite awhile ago now. London probably doesn’t even look like this now. Closer to home in 2020 I shot, on a cold, frosty morning, some details - cold early shots in the frost, warmer sun kissed leaves still tinged with frost later.
Also in 202 I had a stop on Dartmoor on the way back from a work trip to Cornwall. There was some snow, which we have seen very little of in the last few years, so I made a beeline for the highest ground on my way home - Higher Tor near Belstone, just off the A30. There was clearly not much snow but it had settled nicely on the track marking the route through the medley of colours and textures.
The final shots were all taken in 2022. This first one I have just sent for printing. Taken on the same trip as the beach huts in this blog - https://www.carpelumen.co.uk/new-blog/2022/1/27/new-year-new-shoots - it was taken on the shoreline at Mudeford, proving what a bounteous day that was. The next shot of the huts was taken from the sea-side and lacks the oomph of the shots in the previous blog but is still a nice composition to revisit. As is the final shot of the rolling Dorset hills near Shaftesbury.
