Ovine wanderers grazing over the footprints of Julius Caesar, St Augustine and other such luminaries. Ebbsfleet, Thanet, England. #printmaking
This is atmospheric black-and-white photograph shows a group of sheep grazing in a foggy field. To the right, there are rows of solar panels elevated on structures, and to the left, there’s a tall chain-link fence. In the background, a thick fog obscures the distance, blending the horizon into the sky. A formation of birds is faintly visible in the sky above, adding a touch of motion to the stillness of the scene.

Pegwell Bay.
This photograph evokes a haunting, melancholic atmosphere. The misty background, the skeletal remains of a metal structure, and the tattered piece of cloth hanging from it all suggest abandonment or the passage of time. 

The landscape that the photograph describes appears to be a sloping hillside or coastal bluff, with the terrain descending toward the left. The vegetation is sparse and dry-looking, likely grasses or low shrubs, suggesting a windswept or seasonally barren environment.

A thick fog or low cloud cover obscures the distance, blending the sky and the land into a soft, grainy gradient. The horizon is barely visible, swallowed by mist, which adds an eerie depth and mystery to the scene.

The toned grayscale printing amplifies the sense of desolation and quiet.

13th century church. Gampi paper, pigment ink, cotton mount. #giclee #printmaking #pigmentprint #washi
This is a black and white photograph of a 13th century Norman church in Kent, England. The image focuses on a weathered exterior wall with a small, arched window in the center. A prominent crack runs vertically along the wall, creating an organic, meandering line from the top to the bottom.

To the left, there is a vertical drainpipe attached to the wall. The right side of the image includes part of another section of the building with a sloped roof covered in tiles. Some vegetation is visible growing along the edge of the church. The background contains dark foliage, suggesting a rural or secluded setting.

The photograph is printed on warm toned paper, giving it a vintage or archival feel. The overall composition emphasizes the textures of the weathered wall, the crack, and the contrast between architectural elements and nature.

Silbury Hill would have been a glowing chalk white beacon back in Neolithic times. The largest artificial mound in Europe its purpose and significance is mysterious. Built around 2400 BCE it could have been a marker to pilgrims making their way to Avebury for ceremony and ritual? #neolithic

Herons have an elusive quality. This was the first heron I've ever succeeded in making a picture of close. And only because it had gotten used to feeding on scraps from a friendly Dutch-Chinese man who I met in an Amsterdam public park.

How effective are hashtags in BSky for improving reach? I stopped using them altogether in IG because I felt it made little to no difference any longer. @flakphoto.news maybe you have some insight on this?

Some recent colour pictures I made walking the lanes in Kent. Would like to try printing these, probably on a heavyweight paper to keep the richness in the shadows.
