I have been sorting images for printing today, a few that might pass mustre for future camera club competitions, a few that I have splashed out on arty paper for and hope to display at home and then some for a forthcoming art display that my new group are putting on. I wanted to show how certain photographs that I took on my trip to Orkney 18 months ago inspired the beginning of a journey into art with a paint brush - and how both photograph and artwork invoke a particular emotion.
I'm not sure how all this will pan out - it is a bit of a new venture and I could be out of my depth.
The photo above is one taken in a place called Happy Valley on Orkney. The only place on the island with a firest of trees.
Not a big fan of ICM, but I do like this, it is really nice. Could see this making a lovely print.
Not been to Happy Valley before but might try and get there in June. There are a few more trees scattered around in Orkney, but maybe not as many as there appear to be at Happy Valley.
