Reflected Light
Portfolio 3: One theme I keep coming back to is the use of the colour created by light that has been reflected. I was inspired in this direction by seeing an image made by David Ward several years ago called 'Ice Feather' and it set me on a new path. I am still exploring the limits of what is possible. I think reflected light has amazing potential for colour photographers and this portfolio explores some of the different ways of exploiting this idea. These ideas are discussed in my viewpoints article.

'Reflected Bay'

I made this image of the town of Robin Hoods Bay early one morning. The blue sky precluded an effective or satisfactory vista image so I came up with this approach.

The sun is barely up and still very warm and I love the subtle colour contrast between the warm lit rocks and the blue sky.
