New lenses......

I'm developing a new approach to photographing using dewdrops as lenses. I spent hours rolling around in wet grass trying to perfect this - but I think it's going to need a bit more effort.

An early session on the river..........

I took this early in the morning at the end of April. There was quite a thick mist although the river was quite clear. This cut down the light and has given everything an eery black and white feel. Except my shirt which looks as though it has been tinted when processing. It hasn't - this is exactly how it was.



It's mornings like this when I have the river to myself and absolutely no-one else is around that I really love. Makes you feel part of natures ingenious tangle - almost as much as being eaten by a lion.



Some refreshment at the end of a long session.

Tyrol at Easter.

A few pictures from a walk I did from Neustift whilst skiing in April. We had a week of beautiful weather and I wanted to see if I could get up to Starkenburger Hutte. Attempted three different routes but was stopped each time by the snowline at around 2000m. Again! Will have to try once more in the summer.



I'm not quite sure if this is Habicht above.




Elfer Hutte is just off this picture to the left at 2004m and the peak is Elferspitze. At 2505m a little way above me. Beautiful colours in the sunshine though.




Passing through an Alpine meadow I shot this one. It's Kesselspitze. Austrian woodpeckers are something else - their drumming sounds more like a heavy machine gun and was reverberating all around these woods.
