On my week off work I also made more of an effort to visit photography galleries or galleries that were currently running photography exhibitions. I am very aware that I am still not viewing enough of other peoples work and am actively trying to change this.
Whilst at the Beyond The Image gallery I came across leaflets for the Sea Pictures Gallery and decided to find time to visit.
Ones To Watch is their first major exhibition this year and features artists they believe to be 'going places'. The exhibition is mostly made up of photographs but also features sculptures and ceramics.
I was particularly drawn to work by Rebecca Nason ARPS a wildlife photographer who has created some amazing images. I love the quality of the light and how the darkness of the water makes the reflections so clear and colourful.
Northern Harbour I.
Northern Harbour II
Work by Norfolk based Photographer Andrew Midgely is on permanent show at the gallery.
Happisburgh Lighthouse Storm.
Again I am looking at the use of light here and the detail in the clouds. I want to be able to produce interesting images like this and particularly need to work on how I photograph the sky. I often find my images lack detail here and are often either bright blue or grey/ white. I need to work out why his is.
Green Rocks.
This is one of my favourite photos in Midgley's collection. It is taken at Hunstanton beach which I knew straight away as I always used to go on holiday there as a child. I am hoping to go back there and create a image of my own that I intend to hang in my house.
High and Dry, Thornham.
Another image that I really like. It almost has the quality of a painting rather than a photograph. The light in the foreground helps give the shot more depth as the sky and background appear much darker.
The gallery was quite small in size but the quality of the work was amazing and it was definitely a worthwhile visit. I am now on their mailing list so I will hopefully get to hear about upcoming exhibitions and I will make a return visit as I was in no way disappointed.
