Moonset, inkblots and other matters

I was cleaning up my iPhone memory and came across a number of photos I had altered and thought I might share them. Interesting that there is a mix of light and darkness.

The alteration of the moonset simply shows the flip side of the morning light - but I think it shows another  dimension of the the morning light.

The shots I refer to as light and dark angel are alterations of a couple of photos of ink blots. Fiona's exercise program got wet and the purple ink seeped nicely down the fold of the paper - though Fiona was not impressed I thought it resulted in some interesting shapes and colour.

 I took a photo of a drain in a pond with leaves and rubbish being washed down it - a murky shot - yet when flipped the light and contrast turns it into something altogether different.

And how could one resist the light shining though a small glass of red wine.

 I still find it is an interesting challenge to see if the iPhone shots I take can be seen in a different light.

  2. Nice pictures. I love all, especially the ink stain, but all very good abstractions. Greetings.
