Canal Artist Residency - more images

Lock Gates
I have recently captured some very interesting close ups from inside Hirst Lock as the water splashes through the gates as the lock fills up. Here are a few I have created as composite images....more to follow...

Open Lock
A composite image overlaying an extreme close up of water splashing through the locks, with a shot of an open lock gate. The overlaying creates an interesting watercolour effect which compliments the moving reflections experienced whilst traveling through the locks.


Through the Lock
Captured inside the lock, this is a composite image overlaying an extreme close up of water splashing through the locks, with a shot of a closed lock gate. I love the window in the lock, revealing the brightness on the other side of the lock gates and emphasizing the darkness within. The overlaying creates an interesting watercolour effect mirroring the shadows created by the sun shining on the splashing water, and casting shadows on the boats, the lock walls and the lock gates.


Lock Gates
Layered images of extreme close up shots of a lock gate and splashing water, creating an intriguing painterly effect, with unexpected colours and tones. I am really pleased with how these have turned out.
