Another image of Maggie Hambling's iconic metal sculpture, 'Scallop', on
Aldeburgh beach, here with storm clouds gathering. As a cameraman for 25
years in film and television, I was rarely in a position to light the scene I was
shooting in a 'creative' way, given the nature of what I was working on - often
corporate videos and factual documentaries, with the odd commercial thrown in
to keep me solvent. Now that retirement has descended upon me, and a whole
panoply of Photoshop-type programmes are available that can influence the
final picture, I can experiment at my own pace until I'm happy with the result.
Usually my tweaking the image in an effects programme is limited to creating a
picture that still resembles something like the original shot scene, though this one
is a bit more extreme than most: it wasn't this dark and moody originally, but I
quite like it, if no-one else does.
