Critique Welcomed Autumn to Spring - a journey

[Stevenson Gawen]

This set of images might well seem a bit disjointed. For me, they're held together by the fact they are all from the same 'episode' as it were. But not sure that that comes across.
Anyway, make of it what you will!












Part Two Below - Don't Miss The Next Exciting Episode!

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

And here the journey ends - for a little while.

As you may have partly picked up on by this point , I'm staying with family in Somerset.
I was going to post this little set yesterday was but was too jet lagged to concentrate. Still am a bit actually...

Photos are a mix of Olympus EM5ii with 14-150 lens and the (inevitable) Nokia X30 phone. The latter's 'Night' mode is actually pretty impressive.

P.S. Are any of my fellow RPF-ers round here?

 

[Ralph Turner]

Excellent photo journey, Steve. It took my old steam-driven brain a while to catch up with the very relevant significance of the title, though...

 

[Ralph Turner]

Btw the phrase so near yet so far comes to mind. I'm still 6-7 hours away from you

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Thanks Ralph, glad you liked it. Yep... I did wonder if the 'significant' title was stretching the point a bit.

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

yet so far

I thought you were up north somewhere . Never mind. I'm hoping to be in the UK for at least 2 months and might get a chance to visit your area sometime.

Now I've got my few remaining grey cells around it, I think it's a really good title.

I am, in southwest Scotland. The 6 or 7 hrs would be by road. The journey time could be shortened with flying the bulk of it, but I would imagine flying's the last thing on your mind at the mo lol.

 

[Ralph Turner]

Of course, you'd be most welcome to pay a visit if you wanted!

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

Errrr. Yeah. I like flying, but almost 24 hours of it in one go is rather too much of a good thing.

you'd be most welcome

Thanks very much. . I'll certainly let you know if I'm going to be anywhere nearby, but I don't have any fixed plans as yet....

It gives a certain chill down the spine to see primroses photographed by an Australian in spring/autumn. The earth is round!
Beautiful travel documentation, Steve.

Needless to say, my favorite photo is that of the "Primroses photographed by an Australian."

Thanks Gianluca, much appreciated. I wondered if my flight would take me over your part of the world - if it did I was going to post a blurry photo out the plane window and title it "Gianluca's roof" but sadly the flight path passed well north of Italy.

You are so unlucky, you don't know what you missed!

cool episode. can't wait to see what happens after the commercial break. i like the 6th photo of the land and water the best, though the whole series is a great documentary of the trip.

Thanks Beth! That one is a favorite of mine too. It looks almost like there's a tilt shift effect going on, but it's actually real blur caused by the hot exhaust from the engine...

 

[Brian Moore]

Some very interesting images, Stevenson. But for me the standouts are 2 and 5. In particular number 5. What a cracking portrait!

 

[Gianluca Drago]

In particular number 5

 

[Stevenson Gawen]

What a cracking portrait!

Thanks Brian Lovely lighting isn't it? I like the fact that it preserves some of the subjects anonymity too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good, thoughtful images, Stevenson. Yes, #5 is a winner!
