Petworth House Under Grey Sky

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hi all,

This is a photograph I thought you might like that I took of Petworth house approaching from an old cart track towards an old giant tree. There are two figures in the distance approaching the house. It is late afternoon and the clouds were beginning to gather. It just had that moody effect and classic english country side feel. It reminds me of famous painting but I’m still trying to find it. The grounds were designed by Capability Brown. J. W Turner and Anthony Van Dyck used to hang out there, amongst others, so I am sure one of them painted a similar scene… Let me know if you have any ideas!

I got a really nice reply from Gustavo Moniz Ferreira who saw my photo on 500px and did a little research on a painting I shot displayed at the above  Petworth House. He found out that the painting of the table (below) is called “Gulliver Presented to the Queen of Brobdignag” and the author is Charles Robert Leslie. The picture was painted in 1834/35 and has the dimensions of 100 x 123 cm.

Some Instagram stuff

Mike Hope Leave a comment

I was just messing about with Instagram and have posted some square photo stuff up from the phone. Something to keep you amused in the wee hours!! I was wondering if you can get these filters for your regular photos?

Yes you can…next post!

Instagram like filters and a bit of Tilt-shift!

Mike Hope Leave a comment

So, on checking around a bit I found this very informative page on Instagram type filters that you can apply to your regular photos. Most are FREE and don’t require a subscription. they are web based and easy to use.  Here is the link, try them out and have some fun…

Oh! and while I was doing that I came across this Tilt-Shift site and thought I’d give that a try too. Gives a sort of “Toy Town” effect and is a lot less expensive that buying a Tilt-Shift lens!!! $800-$2,000 bucks!! Here is one I tried it out on earlier. I took this at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent from the top of the tower. You can just upload your image apply the effect and Voilà…

Just Another Redondo Sunset

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hello all,

I was walking about on Redondo Pier a couple of Sundays ago and caught this as the sun was starting to get low in the sky just before sunset. It came out quite well and full of color. I was using the Canon 6D with the 24mm – 105mm f/4 lens. Thought you might like to take a look and let me know what you think…

Kincaids On the Pier

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hi all,

This was one of the Kincaids Restaurant on Redondo Beach Pier that I shot with a Tokina 16 – 28mm lens on test. It worked well but couldn’t match the Canon 16-35mm f1.4 IS. Great fun trying them out and a gorgeous day in Redondo!
