Falmouth - Photography Week 14 (2016)

Much of  the detail in everyday life goes unnoticed. Photography has the ability to bring these into consciousness either a single image or as a panel. When presented the viewer should gain a new, or revised, sense of place. 

Selecting and capturing these details is one of the most enjoyable aspects of photography. It does not have to be complex. A compact camera or camera phone will suffice. 

With this in mind, I took this series of images in Falmouth during photography week  14:


Corralled Beach Huts

Over the winter and before the season gets going, beach huts are protected from the seas and penned in behind metal fences - their freedom is just around the corner!




Colours

Colourful flags, bunting and kiosks signal the start of the tourist season:






Harbour Chains and Mooring Rings






Light and Shade





Photo Art

Image processing can be used as a creative tool to provide a different take on an everyday scene:




Falmouth Mural

I have abstracted from a wonderfully drawn and coloured mural on Webber Street in Falmouth. More detail about the mural is shown in the first photo. I have reduced the contrast and clarity in most of the images to counteract some of the effects of weathering:
