Photo365 – Day 361 – Eyes on you
I spent a day in Nottingham looking round the sales. I always call in Fopp records, and today picked up the old film by Ken Russell – Altered States on dvd and a Sigur Ros deluxe limited edition of með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. That was…
Photo365 – Day 360 – babies
I decide to go for a walk to get some fresh air after a full day easting and drinking. So the Boxing Day walk was around Whisby Nature Park nr Lincoln. The cafe was open so I called in for a bacon and and sausage sarnie and then had a look round their…
Photo365 – Day 359 – stuffed
Lazy day today after lovely Christmas dinner, so I decided to photograph the bottle of bubbly that we drank to celebrate over lunch.
Photo365 – Day 358 – Marbles
When I was a little boy I used to play with marbles a lot. As well as the usual games I invented my own. I used to roll them off the top of the stairs and watch them bounce down and see how far they would go. I then started adding obstacles, things that…
Photo365 – Day 357 – Bauble
I just did the standard bauble in shot Christmas card pic for ePHOTOzine. I used a red cloth background to add extra colour and make the lights go brighter. Here’s a version without. The background is the patio window. A reflector (nearby Christmas…

Photo365 – Day 355 – Scooby, where are yooooou?
Having been inspired by the pepper splash series that Dave Ovendon posted a few years ago on ePHOTOzine , Ive been meaning to have a go myself. My first recollection of this type of photography was a brilliant photo posted by iraddict way back in the…
Photo365 – Day 354 – Stand still
I went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a few hours today. Took a bag full of Pentax kit and the iPhone. I love using the iPhone. If only you could control focus and exposure – it would be even better. I came back with just short of 400 shots. I saw…
Photo365 – Day 353 – Tired old bear
I sometimes get inspiration from photos in galleries or stores. While in B&Q last week I saw a framed photo of a bear in a bed. So I thought I’d get my old old friend out and photograph him. This is the bear I had as a kid. It was already quite…
Photo365 – Day 352 – Power
Today seemed to be a day of power. It started when I decided to go on a bike ride. I haven’t been on the bike for a few weeks and some areas where quite a struggle on my route. Mostly flat, but the hills hurt and power was certainly needed in the…
