I've just remembered that thing called colour..

[Rob MacKillop]

I've been shooting b&w for such a long time now, I thought it would be good to explore colour again. I traded in my Leica M-A, which wasn't doing it for me, for the Leica TL2 with an 11-23 lens. These are all from the first trip, this morning. I thought that if I'm going to shoot colour again, it will not be my usual shots but in colour, but rather they would be about colour.

I like the abstractness of images 6 and 7

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've cropped number 7, which seemed a little off balance:




Not sure how best to print this. Gyclée or C-Type? Textured matt?

 

[John Holland]

Hmm, I think I like the original cropping better. Maybe a little be off the left and bottom (about 1-1.5cm in the original crop).

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I've made about a dozen variations, to the point where my mind has given up. I plan to come back to it in about a month's time, and probably decide that the original is best!

 

[Tony Britton]

Excellent set, Rob. I especially like the interplay of light & shadow. Well done!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Tony. Appreciated!

 

[Aaron Quinn]

Really like the whole set but that #2 jumped out at me.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Aaron. That's a metal art sculpture.

 

[Pete Askew]

Well blow me, I never knew you had colour up there! Or have you absorbed it all now?

Gorgeous set, Rob. The shadows on that fence are just wonderful. I lie the detail of the sculpture a lot also and can imagine that printed on a 'textured' matt paper!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

We had colour for one week. Since then it has been uniformly grey, just different shades (not quite 50, more like five). Now we live like Dorothy before the tornado...

Is that the squeaking of a badly oiled bicycle that I can hear?!
