Photo365 – Day 99 – one afternoon in a hot air balloon
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.…
Photo365 – Day 98 – tulip’s decline
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.
Photo365 – Day 97 – blade of grass
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…
Photo365 – Day 96 – The afternoon sky
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…
Photo365 – Day 95 – Gateford Carpets

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…
Photo365 – Day 93 – Pop
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…
Photo365 – Day 92 – Rock on Baslow Edge
I went over to Baslow Edge in Derbyshire this evening as I hoped we’d get a sunset, and we did. It wasn’t brilliant but ok and a good chance to test the portable studio flash I’m currently reviewing. I underexposed the background and…
Photo365 – Day 91 – surreal
Two shots – one of the background, another of me. I then cloned the background over my face to give a surreal effect. That’s today’s photo365
