Photo365 – Day 259 – it’s raining

I’m still making the most of the poppies that grew in my garden and I decided to try out my new hose pipe (bought for £4 from Tesco yesterday). I took the Elincrom D-Lite flash outdoors and positioned it to the right and behind the poppy heads. I then set the Pentax K20D camera up in front and at a distance using the Tamron 500mm Mirror lens for the tight frame. I then set the hose going and pointed it upwards so the water went up and then fell down over the poppy heads to give the effect of rain.

Photo365 – Day 258 – baslow edge

As the sun looked like it was going to be around at sunset I decided to take a trip out to Baslow Edge to photography my favourite rock. As I approached the cloud was minimal but as the sun sunk lower, some cloud appeared to give me just the right amount of atmosphere. I took some from the usual spot and got some decent sunsets. But for my photo365 I’m going for this one from the side.

It’s taken with the Pentax K20D and 12-24mm zoom with Lee 0.6 ND grad.

Photo365 – Day 257 – fungi

I walked back along the canal today after a visit to the post office. I didn’t take my camera but spotted a cluster of fungi in the hedgerow. I always carry the iPhone so it was time to get the Hipstamatic out. Thankfully it takes decent close ups. This was with the camera resting on the floor I couldn’t see what I was taking but knew the lens was pointing in the right direction.

I don’t think the colour of the processing worked well for this so I neutralised the fungi which has resulted in a coloured edge effect.

Photo365 – Day 256 – worksop cinema

I took a photo of the site where the cinema is going to be built a few months ago for my daily photo365 project. Since I took that photo time seemed to have stood still. I visited the site day after day, week after week and nothing appeared to be happening. And then today only a week or so since my last visit the entire frame work has been erected. I wanted to get a step by step view of the scene.

Oh well, from nothing to this. I’ll be going back more frequently now to record the stages of build.

Photo365 – Day 255 – fungi forage

My first trip into the woods to photograph fungi. I combined the 90min walk with part of a bag review I’m doing. So I filled the backpack full of items I would use and items I wouldn’t to get a feel for what it’s like at full capacity.

This is a small shroom, about 1in tall photographed with the Pentax K20D and 100mm macro. It’s the only variety I could find today and I only found two clumps in the whole wood.

Photo365 – Day 251 – Apple

So continuing my fruit and veg theme I’ve photographed an apple in a black bowl.

I have an old spray bottle that used to come in a kit form with the Tamron 90mm macro. I used that to spray water over the apple and bowl before taking the shot with a Pentax K20 and 16-45mm lens.

The light is my diy ringlite (parts from B&Q) I decided to crop square as that suits the subject better.

Photo365 – Day 250 – pineapple slice

I sliced my pineapple up as thin as I could and placed the slither on an old Jessops lightbox to backlight it. I then used auto metering and over exposed by half a stop to get the bright effect.

Taken with Pentax K-5 and 16-45mm lens.
