Each photographic moment takes place at not only the instant of a shutter but the culmintion of a lifetime
Here is a collection of images which don't fall into any of the other categories. They include some digitally manipulated work; images relying on strong colours and others subtle ones; and images showing the use of strong lighting and others undirectional lighting. There are so many different ways of conveying a scene - let me show you just a few.

One of the common features to be found in any buddhist monastery is the many
statues and shrines paying homage to numerous buddhas and other important figures of the
religion. Most are covered with gold and some, like you see here, are highly decorated.
The Edinburgh skyline never looked like
this before! This is one of a series I produced digitally showing a transition from
reality to impressionistic.
Taken in pouring rain in W Ireland.
Really an image of texture, colour and shape.
Even the fairground has opportunities
for photographs. These furry toys were hanging up and almost asking to be photographed.
A powerful image portraying the
dependence of a baby on adults and the fragility of it's life.
Prayer flags
are a common sight in Tibet with each colour signifying a different type of prayer. They
make an interesting foreground for the golden monastery.
One thing the Irish are known for is
their love of Guiness and there is certainly no shortage of pubs in which to find a pint.
I came across this scene and just had to take some photographs. I like the simple colours,
the arrangement of the barrels and of course the sidelighting.
New Zealanders certainly know how to
enjoy themselves; after all, bungy jumping started here. Jet boating is huge fun but you
have to be prepared to get wet. I recommend sitting at the back of the boat if you want
the most thrilling ride!
