Southmere Lake Misfitadventure...

Some recent personal work shot mainly at Southmere Lake and the surrounding area in Abbey Wood SE2. I have wanted to visit this site for years as some of the area was used in the filming of 'A Clockwork Orange' and recently the TV series 'Misfits'. Not to everyones taste but I enjoy working with the tilt/shift technique or anti Scheimpflug rule whereby you distort the cameras plane of focus to create an almost elliptical point within the image that is deemed the 'sweet spot'. This technique seemed to be applied to the principle photography in 'Misfits' so I loved it... One of the images has a very characteristic mistake of over using this technique which is the obvious vignetting in the corner caused by cutting into the image circle of the lens. Oops, oh well it serves a purpose to remind me to always check the corners...
