I hope you like the samples.

Early morning in the gill


W ith my new, super "camera" in my "new" mobile telephone I took an early morning walk. Here is the Gill, just awakening. (Not quite b&w, but still.) The damp ground; the posts leading into the picture; the tree in the middle ground; the car providing one touch of distinctive colour; the bare space in the top right...

All these seem to create an atmosphere of the day's beginning.

Pigeon lurk


T hese two were scanning the surroundings, hoping for the sight of a tasty morsel. (Or perhaps they were tuning in to a thrilling Netflicks fillum!)

Trees along gill banks


E arly morning; dark, cloudy skies; family of trees hugging the foreground. The tonal variation between the trees suggests depth and the soft focus enhances the picture's atmosphere.
