Starting off with a flash and a bang – 55 days to go to #NAF18

This month certainly started with a bang – we had a spectacular storm last night that’s given me another picture for #NAF18.

I shall add it to the three night pictures in the Grahamstown Series I’ve already printed for Metamorphosis. You get such cool colours and effects in night photographs whether it’s a moon rise, car headlights or lightning. But they’re quite tricky to take. Then there’s problem of just how to print them. This time I’ve selected something a little different – Ilford Metallic Gloss.

Lightning over Grahamstown

The prints have a slight metallic sheen with rich contrasts and plenty of detail. They’ll be on sale at the exhibition and there’s a nice selection of my Grahamstown pictures over at my online portal roddythefox.co.za.
