A traditional pub from Worksop that’s been empty for a few years. Renovation work has been done to the roof recently I assume to make the building weatherproof, but the scaffolding has gone so I guess it will stay empty for some time now. I thought I’d take a few shots of the intricate tile and glass work which will probably be lost when the rest of the renovation takes place. Taken with the iPhone and Hipstamatic.
I bought this old postcard from eBay and photographed it in situ. I also had a postcard of the Priory but the photo needed to be taken from inside the school playground and it’s been closed and fenced off. It’s quite tricky to match up well, but I didn’t do bad with this one. I moved it back and forward to one side to get the scale right and then adjusted the camera back and forward to get the perspective right.

I desaturated to give an almost monchrome feel.
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?

I’ve just had an incident that I’ll explain how to get out of if you ever have the same. If you’re using an anti virus software and you get the message “threat has been detected” when you try to access wp-admin it could be that someone has posted a trojan in the comments on the public part of your site. Avast, for example, picks up on this and suggests you don’t visit admin because of the threat. I went in through an “edit page” route and clicked on the activate comment area and got the same “threat has been detected” message. So I knew it must be the comment that had the virus.
Comments are stored in the database, so access your wordpress blog database, find the wp-comments table. Look for the comments and find one with suspicious message in the comment_content field and delete it.
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!
