Photography Monthly - April 2013 edition

I loved the images of Clevedon Pier pages 22-25 used to advertise this month's geocaching competition.  They look deliberately over exposed, with suitably blurred backgrounds, disappearing horizons plus some kind of processing treatment that has made them look elegantly faded called "paint the moon" that adds luminosity - looks like it's compatible with PS Elements?  The colours have a slightly acid feel to them.  I really  like the way images have been chosen that are slightly different rather than typical photos - what camera club judges call "photographers' pictures"  Very inspiring and hoping I can find some time to go there this summer.

I also loved the images of Antarctica by fashion photographer Enzo Barracco - I am desperate to go to Antarctica and see the different colours and forms of the icebergs.  I particularly liked this image - the iceberg resembles a shark's mouth rising out of the water with it's multiple rows of teeth!

Finally, the article about photography on the London Underground by urban landscape photographer known as Vulture Labs also inspired me.  I found the symmetrical composition very interesting, and also the gritty grimy effect he created.  These are scenes that I am used to seeing heavily congested and frenetic - yet he has created images of peace, space and grandeur.  Vulture Labs has specifically requested that his images are not reproduced on blogs, so please see his 500px site for photos.
