Don McCullin meets Digital Photography

Yesterday circumstances were such that I didn't make it to college but I did manage to be creative of sorts. I started to look at photographs I had taken over the past year and to pull out suitable images for the Photography Unit at college. This turned into a positive experience as firstly I hadn't realised I had quite so many interesting images and secondly my head wasn't in full concentration mode. Why is this a good thing I hear you ask?.........well it meant that I could cope with playing but not with thinking too deeply.

So I played a little.......................and this


became this...............


and this.........................


became this.............


and finally this one.........


was transformed into this......


and this.....................


Today my head is in a different place so I probably would approach this task differently which is always the case anyway....different time different place. Having said that I like yesterdays results.

I also spent some time today watching this short film on the Canon website which documents Don McCullin's first journey into the world of digital photography. It's worth a visit if you have the time. I found it immensely comforting watching such an iconic photographer getting to grips with the latest technological gadgetry..... and he made it look so easy.
