Stephen J Gledhill - Entrance - Fine Black & White Photography of the Land, Sea & Sky

Black & White Photography of the Land Sea & Sky from 5x4 negatives by Stephen J Gledhill - The Virtually Grey Gallery displays and offers for sale my photographic work. I hope you enjoy your visit. I would be very pleased to hear from you if you have any comments or questions, or if you would like to make a purchase. I ve worked for more than 30 years producing pictures almost exclusively in Black & White. The landscape is where I look for my pictures, but to say I m a landscape photographer is rather misleading. Whilst out walking I find many things to photograph. Most of my work is of components or elements of the landscape micro-landscapes rather the panoramas and vistas that landscape usually brings to mind. Trees, streams, fungi, clouds, rocks, reflections, patterns, water, grasses; in fact anything more or less natural that will stay still for long enough runs the risk of me pointing my camera at it. It s not uncommon for me to take an hour to make one exposure. If I make twenty exposures in a full day then that s a lot. Ultimately my criterion for taking a photograph is that the final image must at least have the prospect of being striking and frame-able in monochrome once the raw image has passed through my digital darkroom. You ll find a few exceptions to my natural subjects with the occasional building or other evidence of human presence here and there! I am not a landscape purist. Recently I ve come to enjoy photographing inside cathedrals, abbeys and churches....
