david purdie photo blog and gallery news

two pictures of tenterden from the air.....      

Got a nice email from gallery customer Peter Noakes who has spent 3 days (blimey!) making a lovely stop frame animation of Lego trucks assembling our jigsaw of Mermaid Street. Do take a look it is really well done. Thanks for sending me it Peter.  David

Like many photographers a terrible storm is just what I need to get out taking pictures. As I have found before, weather like this is impressive and exciting to look at but hard to photograph. Eveything is a bit grey and hazy, and the movement is what is exciting about a strom. So the obvious problem is finding something that expresses that.    Big waves under the pier    a very wet pier   someone leaning into the wind  

This isn't really a gallery picture, but i liked it so much I thought it deserved a place on the website slideshow.  Having said that do let me know if you want a limited edition print of this -  it could be done.   Shot last week at about 1AM from my kitchen back door in tenterden. I post pictures like this now and then on instgram @purdiegallery David    

A night workshop last Friday, and for the later part quite bad weather! So no stars, but great wet streets in Hastings reflecting the street lights.
