We were celebrating Hogmanay (New Year) on Islay, Scotland with a group of friends. After the bells we had a whisky in front of this fire. Using a short exposure time many interesting shapes are preserved that existed for only a fraction of a second. My favourite shape is the howling lion on the right, but chances are that someone else sees something completely different. That’s one of the great tricks of our visual system. (2017-2018)
This photo was taken on a walk past the Forth and Clyde Canal from Glasgow to Cumbernauld. A fence on the other side of the canal was reflected in the water. The distortion of the reflection due to the movement of the water turns a rather boring image into a scene consisting of playful lines and shapes. A zoomed-in section of the photo is shown below to highlight this. (2017)
This is another example of the distorting effect of water. This time it is the floor of a swimming pool and the reflected windows that are deformed. The photo was taken in a hotel in Arran. As a bit of an aside, have you ever realised how weird water actually is? (2017)
