Water Glass Pour ...
Another photo project I've been saving to try during winter. It was harder than I anticipated. The gear set-up was easy. It was the pouring process that had lots of variables ... angle of the glass, height and amount of pour, plus my aim was bad.

Daytripping in France with the E-PL7's B&W filter
We had the chance to drop into Auray this afternoon, a charming and very old village here in the Morbihan, and one of my favorites. I always shoot RAW and JPEG, but decided to try the "grainy" B&W filter on my EPL7 again. It's kind of hit and miss but it does have a lot of contrast. Certainly it's not trying to compete with the Pen F's monochrome settings, but when resized to smaller images (1100px in this thread) the strong grain effect takes on its own personality.
It's nice sometimes to let the camera do the work and to put more time into developing a story. A compromise on chasing visual perfection for narrative. I enjoyed shooting this way and putting the images together. Enjoy the shots.
I witnessed this fella debark a 100+ year old boat as crew (same vessel as is in the background) and hop onto a 1940s era Peugeot motorbike.
Facade detail on the town church. This one is unique, even here in the Catholic stronghold of Brittany because the statue survived the French Revolution. On most of the churches these hollows are bare, as the statues were pulled down, decapitated, and left in the street.

One of the old streets in the Port of Saint-Goustan
No shortage of French Navy shirts in Bretagne
The bar and the street along the port are named after Ben Franklin, who first set foot on these same streets to ask the French for help during the US Revolutionary War.
More evidence of the Franco American connection, downtown Auray.
Historic vessels in a historic port. The Port of Saint-Goustan is on the Auray river which flows directly into the Gulf of Morbihan, and on into the Atlantic.
The connection to the sea is often full of sorrow. There are often shrines such as this one that served the fishermen who...21May 16, 2019 -
Twenty days in Singapore, Cambodia and Bangkok
I travelled in South East Asia over the recent holidays, from Christmas into January. Made four main stops; Singapore, the island Koh Rong in Cambodia, Angkor Wat/Siem Reap and then finally Bangkok. Be aware, image flood ahead...
First, images from Singapore, many night shots in the Marina Bay area with the hotel Marina Bay Sands as the sort of main target. Starts with two down-scaled hi-res shots, E-M1II and 12-100mm16Jan 20, 2019 -
Traditional Brick Making
For several years I have been wanting to take a photo series of brick and tile makers working with their traditional methods of laying the formed mud out in the sun - but have never come across the opportunity until now.
There were several operations in Nicaragua, but they were in more remote areas or were inaccessible - but more often hesitant to approach and ask on my own —— a little like thinking twice before entering a huge auto wrecker, not knowing what is behind the walls.
Driving on a rural highway with Salvadorian friends recently, we stopped on the side of the road to see if there was anyone around this abandoned looking property with what looked like a large dilapidated building that probably was used for kilning bricks. A fellow walked out to see what I was up to, and informed me that workers were back behind the kiln. I asked I could talk photos of them working.12May 14, 2019 -
Tennis indoors with the E-M1 mkII
All images from the 2017 AusOpen all shoot with the EM1mk2 and usually the 40-150Pro
First up some high iso images, i'd say these would be fine for social media or newsprint though the colour balance from the poor lighting still needs a tweak i notice
This was an epic match on the most distant outside court with no pro in sight, Istaman in the glasses went on the win and then defeat Novak one the next round on centre court.
