As for the features during the first break............ I went for two subjects that interested me with the view to winning some images that can join the Europaeus project........
The Eden project in Devon was the first and it certainly lent its self to the theme of Post Modernism and the aesthetics of engagement with the natural environment for the 21st century.
It was a beautiful rainy west country day and as flat as a pancake..........this was perfect for working with the brightness and contrast controls to get an Eden effect...........
The second was how to illustrate the progress of peace and cultural pluralism in Belfast.....for this I got lucky.....on my return home I noticed a competition which might produce an image I had in my head for some time.....as it was..... the image was not exactly the same but was better........the lady was not Chinese.........but a beautiful black English girl from London participating in the Irish world dancing championships in Belfast.
