View from the park this morning. I was just out a bit too late to catch the thicker mist, but then again I was up at 3:00am learning how to stack star trails that I’d just taken.

Today was another remarkably warm day, and as the sun was low in the sky shadows were interesting. This is my rusty metal resting near a brick wall, and a garden chair causing the shadows. I split the elements in such a way that it now looks like two photos but it is just one.
A still-life shot taken using my current favourite combination…the Olympus EP2, Toy lens and +10 macro
This is straight out of camera no editing – can you tell what it it?
The fifth in a series documenting the erection of the new Worksop cinema using an iPhone in HDR mode.
A garden fairy taken with the Olympus EP2, toy lens and +10 macro adaptor.
Her head was positioned to one side of the frame and the background considered to give a nice softness.
My Olympus EP2 and Toy lens fitted with 10x macro lens provide more fun as I played around in the kitchen. I was shooting surface top still-lifes of various kitchen things, and then poked the camera into the kitchen utensil draw. I hovered it around until this appeared in the viewfinder.
I think it was the potato peeler…I wouldn’t like to be a veg with this coming at me!
When I was young I took a job delivering Yellow Pages (telephone directory) in my spare time in the Wadsley area of Sheffield. I was paid something like 7p per book to deliver. and it helped fund my photography while I was working in retail. It was hard work, and for a week my parents house was full of Yellow Pages stacked high. but I delivered around 1000 books so I was paid £70 which, at the time, was about two weeks wages.
Today, while on a fungi forage in Laughton Woods on the annual D&D meet, I saw someone’s efforts at delivering Yellow Pages. They will have been paid, but dumped them in the woods. Idle gits!
Another shot taken with my current favourite lens…the toy lens with a macro adaptor attached. The focusing and halation / aberrations is wonderful for macro work. I love just moving the camera around slowly to obtain focus point. In this example. I picked up a handful of screws and dropped them on floor and then moved around them with the camera base on the floor until I got a satisfactory view. I like the way the light is reflecting on the top left screw and how the main screw goes out of focus in the middle where it shouldn’t. The lens is crazy!

A tin of purple paint with the lid off. The light caught the rime and scattered across the paint creating an interesting abstract pattern that I thought was worth recording.
Pentax K20D and 100mm macro lens.
Another self portrait, this time using the iPhone with a fisheye lens attached. It’s really cool lens and I’ve had a lot of fun with it so far.
