As I really struggle with getting up, I decided to take a picture of others lying down instead of me taking one from lying down. These two ladies are called the Alluvia ladies and were presented to our City by Jason deCaires Taylor who is a renowned sculptor who specialises in underwater exhibits (see link) and is originally from our area. I had to use a polarizing filter to remove the glare from the waters surface, I have owned one for a long time, but hardly get to use it. https://www.underwatersculpture.com/projects/alluvia-canterbury/
Having spent many years driving trucks across Europe and beyond, every night I would find myself in a new place, although these lyrics may have meant something slightly different, the message applies to most long haul truck drivers. This image was taken on a Motorway service area where each night there are a large number of trucks from all over Europe parked for a night or weekend rest, so this is their home for a while at least. The lyrics from the song that apply to the picture are :- "For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam. Wherever I lay my hat that's my home" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLaBAfMPiTc The light trail was a bonus as not many cars drive through this part of the car park. this was a 30 second exposure
Week 22 B&W I chose to merge two images together after not being able to pick which one I liked best, the conversion to B&W was easy to see in my mind as the rooms decor is basically shades of grey anyway so the only colours were in the model and some wooden furniture plus through the colour cast of the lighting. As I didn't want to interfere with the light effects (pattern) on the wall, I chose not to add any lighting or flash which meant I needed a slow shutter speed of 1.3 seconds, but my subject is a master of staying still.
