Sun breaking through the clouds today…an hour or so later we had flash floods and my garage was 2in deep in water. I cleared a garage roof downfall pipe a few weeks ago as a result it’s working and sending water to the drain, which I hadn’t realised until today was also blocked so I need to get a man who can out. In the mean time I have a lot of soggy boxes.

A shot of the night sky with the iPhone and hipstamatic app. As you can see it’s not black like the sky but a hypnotic red possibly partly down to sodium light pollution but also the fact the camera is quite limited when it comes to shot like this..
The shot signifies personally the blackest day of 2011.
The traditional pub, as we know it, has been in decline for years, but recently that decline has increased with factors such as high rising gas and electric costs, the recession, smoking ban, tougher drink driving laws and lower priced alcohol from supermarkets putting nails in the pub coffin.
This is just one of several pubs for sale in our town, just like most towns and villages these days. And they don’t go for much either. This one’s been on the market for at least a year.
Here is the seventh of 12 sets of pictures from my photo365 project. This one covers the month of July 2011

A view through the distorted window glass. I’ve been busy all day decorating so no time for photos. One of the problems with this photo365 daily photo project. So it’s a quick snap on the iPhone.
I’ve had a busy day so no time for any interesting photography so this is a quick iphone snap of a ceiling light shade shot from below.

A bearded bloke is going to cross my path…
I started taking photos with the poppy head attached to the stalk with the sky behind…using flash and underexposing the cloudy sky, then I moved over to the glass patio table. The bare shots look pretty average so I printed out one of my colourful poppy shots and propped that up behind the head so the reflection appeared behind the head. That looked ok, but not what I wanted to share here. So then I tipped out some seeds and photographed the head with seeds. And then I moved a few around and started to create the face…and ended up with this shot with the sky reflected in the table as the backdrop.
I do enjoy messing around with ideas. It was taken with the Pentax K5 and 16-45mm lens.

I nipped over to see David (discreetphoton) at Costco in Sheffield where his camera club was holding an exhibition. On the way out I decided to treat myself to a sumptuous meal – jacket potato and chilli for a wallet denting price of £1.25. It was a huge potato filled with chilli – I couldn’t eat it all. How on earth they can manage such prices beats me.
I took a photo using the iphone of the one of the assistants who looks as though she’s about to club someone to death.
