I decided today that a series of shots showing the letters of the alphabet would be a good theme and help me through some days where I’m lacking inspiration. On such days I will go out and find the next letter of the alphabet. We start with A – a free standing advertising board outside […]

The good thing about my photo365 project is I will post stuff that I wouldn’t normally post. I tend to post technically good pictures to be viewed by the gallery viewers, but with a blog I’ve pushed in more obscure directions. So you will get to view an alternative side to my photography. It’s this […]
Today is my 100th photo365. It was taken on the patio this morning. At a certain height I could see the glistening trail of a snail, which disappeared when viewed from different directions or angles. I thought I’d shoot with the macro lens and at a wide aperture so that just a small cross section […]
Sometimes you may not be prepared. I’d gone on Stanage Edge today and took the Olympus EP2 with 17mm lens (about 35mm in 35mm format) I intended to do a few landscapes. I spotted a hot air balloon and wished I’d taken a long lens. Here’s my shot. The balloon is a dot in the […]
Last week was Mothering Sunday, almost one week later the flowers are wilting. Time for a photo! It’s taken against an aluminium camera case backdrop and window lit.
This is what you get if you lay down on the floor and poke a macro lens (set to a wide aperture) through the grass. I moved around to find the most pleasing view. A single blade of grass with its companions totally out of focus thanks to the shallow depth of field. It’s a […]
I pointed the iphone straight up early this evening to record the tree branches filling the blue void. To the bottom left is a vapour trail. Photographers often don’t like them in the shot. I think they add an extra element and purposely include them in many of my photographs.
It’s amazing when you open your eyes how fascinating the architecture looks on even the most mundane shop windows. Here in Worksop I have walked or driven past this carpet shop on Gateford Road hundreds of times, but never spotted the interesting detail on the upper areas, until today. I took the photo using the […]
I’ve been a music fan since I walked into Wilson & Pecks ( a music shop in Sheffield (long since closed) with a selection of records) with my mum when I was about 10. I heard a happy song playing over the speaker system and asked my mum what it was. She asked at the […]
I’ve been experi-menting with fast flash tonight trying to record the bursting of a balloon and I’m fairly happy with this shot. I used a new portable studio flash, test will be going up on ePHOTozine in a few days, and a Sony Alpha A55 set to high speed shooting mode, although in reality i […]
