Photo365 – Day 303 – Alexplosion
I was in Ikea’s cafe eating meatballs…yum…and spotted a curtain backdrop and instantly saw my picture of the day. Thanks to Alex for standing up in a crowded cafe and humouring me, much to her embarrassment. All in the name of art…
Photo365 – Day 302 – dreamscape
I was taking photos of berries earlier this morning backlit against the morning sun using an old Pentax M series 80-200mm zoom on the K20D, and noticed the background tree shape, and decided to switch attention to the tree. Adjusting focus so it’s…
Photo365 – Day 301 – on the edge
Stanage Edge this evening. I went to shoot the sunset and then star trails, the sunset was a bit lack lustre but the stars were out. I spent about an hour in the dark on the edge – it was, as seems usual up there, very windy. I heard sheep rustling…
Photo365 – Day 300 – needle and thread
Trying out a new combination of an old Vivitar 3x converter I just acquired and Pentax 100mm macro to create a 300mm f/8 macro lens. It lets you get really close (from a distance) Here’s one of the shots of a needle and cotton thread, photographed…
Photo365 – Day 299 – Post box
An interesting evening started out at this post box on the road over to Thorpe Salvin. I’d been considering shooting this for a few weeks, and tonight the sky was right. The only thing I hadn’t taken into consideration was cars. The post box…

Its low in the sky and despite the time of year still quite warm – I’m talking about the sun. And this shot is direct into the sun with a leaf in the foreground photographed using the infrared converted Pentax *ist D and 16-45mm zoom. I…
Photo365 – Day 297 – Neglected tomatoes
I grew a tomato plant this year but then neglected it so never picked the baby toms. They’re still hanging on in there several months later! I took this photo of a clump using an infrared converted Pentax *ist D and 50mm f/1.4 and processed in…
Photo365 – Day 296 – Nike and Hephaestus
A 5m high sculpture in front of Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium. I drove past and spotted a car boot sale outside the stadium, so went to see what was on offer. I found one stall selling magazines and was attracted to the cover of one with two free…
Photo365 – Day 295 – They’re watching
A quick snap of my web cam I got fixed up to start testing hangout style options for future epz connectivity. I was also playing with a 50mm f/1.4 lens at full aperture. More of this type to come. I processed in Lightroom and gave it the B&W creative…
Photo365 – Day 294 – Worksop Cinema Phase 6
Things are progressing well in the cinema build. The floor has been laid and a lower wall erected, along with some of the internal structure.
