My second Photo365 picture of a daffodil. The last one was as the sun set, this one was late afternoon. The garden was full of colour the sun was brilliant, the sky deep blue. All the daffs were glowing. I took a variety of shots from low angles using the Olympus E-P2 and 17mm lens […]

I was doing a few tests with the Fujifilm X100 today and decided to shoot my favourite oldie – the Leica IIIf The shot was converted to black & white in Lightroom and subtly toned.
I remember seeing this type of shot for the first time in the late 90s when I was editing Digital PhotoFX magazine and have been to have a go myself, so I positioned some shoes on a cloth background. photographed them and then took a second shot switching the boots for my feet so they’d […]
Had to take advantage of the supermoon tonight. Every 18 years or so the moon is closet to the earth known as its perigree. At this time it appear about 14% larger and 30 percent brighter. I took this shot using a Pentax K10D with a Tamron 500mm mirror lens and 2x flat field converter. […]
The light this evening was beautiful so I extended my daily walk to Bracebridge Pumping Station. I’d planned to get a shot from outside the fenced area, but some vandals had cut a hole in it so I was able to go closer. This is some scrap metal in one of the water reserves to […]
Later nights, daffodils and sunsets, all signs spring is here! And all captured in this shot taken 30min ago. I also tried out a new filter technique I’ve been meaning to do using wedding veil material over the lens to give a soft mesh diffuser. It’s made an interesting muting of colours but also added […]
I had a hospital appointment this morning. It was at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. They have problems with parking space and a few years ago opened a large 500 capacity park & ride at the Racecourse. You park for free and then catch a bus to the hospital. I took advice from the leaflet that […]
I took the iphone out on my walk tonight and loaded it with the Hipstamatic app. I walked round the back of town and found this site in a small portion of land squeezed between two properties. It’s amazing how anyone can dump stuff in such public places and not feel any sense of shame. […]
This morning was one of those days when you reach for the milk and realise the last drop has gone, and then while looking for the butter spot that the empty tub is in the bin. So breakfast is void of a couple of slices of toast with butter or cereal. Fortunately we had some […]
A shot taken today for my Photo365 project using a Nikon D700 with a Sunpak flash and 105mm macro. The flash was placed to the side of the tap and pointed at the red background (a plastic kitchen chopping board). The tap was set to a very slow drip speed and sticky tape placed over […]
