More from St James Church Ruin, Bawsey Norfolk. Bronica ETRS, Ilford Delta 400 120 developed in Beutler two part. #photography #believeinfilm #mediumformatphotography @ilfordphoto.com #landscapephotography

Black-and-white landscape photograph of a ruined medieval church, St James, Bawsey in Norfolk, standing alone on a low ridge in the middle distance. The remains are small within the frame, positioned slightly left of centre, with a tall broken section of masonry containing two dark arched openings and lower fragments of wall scattered to either side. A broad, recently cultivated field stretches across most of the scene, its faint furrows and changes in tone creating gentle diagonal lines leading towards the ruins. In the foreground, a rough verge is filled with dark brambles, grasses and tall dried stems. A simple wire fence runs across the lower part of the image, supported by irregular wooden posts, including a cluster of posts near the lower right corner. Beyond the field, a dark line of trees forms the distant horizon, particularly on the right. Above everything is a large, pale sky occupying almost half the photograph, with long soft bands of cloud sweeping horizontally across it. The bright open sky contrasts with the darker earth and vegetation below, while the ruined church appears isolated and fragile against the horizon. The overall scene is spacious and restrained, emphasising the relationship between the small surviving structure, the worked agricultural landscape and the immense sky.

River Alde at Snape Maltings, Suffolk. #photography #landscacapephotography #Suffolk #Scape #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography

A monochrome landscape photograph of the River Alde at Snape Maltings. Tall phragmite reeds dominate the foreground, rising diagonally from the lower right and centre of the frame, their narrow stems and seed heads sharply defined against a pale sky. The river occupies the lower left, its surface softly textured and reflecting muted light. Beyond it, a dark, blurred strip of distant vegetation and riverbank runs horizontally across the middle distance, separating water from sky. The shallow depth of field leaves some reeds crisp while others dissolve into soft, overlapping forms, creating layers of movement and depth. The sky fills more than half of the image and is almost featureless, giving the scene a quiet sense of openness. The overall composition is restrained and spacious, with the leaning reeds providing rhythm and structure against the softer landscape beyond.
