November randomness in red and blue.

It being November, it’s compulsory for UK photographers to take and then post a fireworks image.

This one’s taken using “Live Composite” mode on one of my Olympus cameras.  I set the base exposure to 1/2 second, and then left the camera to take quite a few images whilst I gently moved the camera around.  It makes the firework look much more impressive than it was.

On a recent visit to Birmingham I popped in to the “Victorian Radicals” show at the Art Gallery.  As well as having paintings by the Pre-Raphaelites, there were some textiles and wallpapers by William Morris.  One was in a frame behind glass and other parts of the gallery were reflected, as well as passing visitors.  It makes for a puzzle image,

There were folding seats for weary visitors to use.  As well as liking the pattern, I liked the “missing” seats, and wondered what colour they might have been.  I also wondered why the black seats were less popular than the red or blue ones.

Without thinking about it when I chose the images for this post, I’ve just realised that these images have, to varying degrees, a blue and red theme.  Not so random after all perhaps?
