Photo365 – Day 120 – alien

I’d just finished a day of decorating and the sun was low in the sky and found it’s path through a window on the door to create a shape on the newly painted wall. I added a shadow of my hand and snapped with the iphone. I played around in Lightroom to give it a more contrasty and colourful result. It looked a bit like an alien on the phone…what do you think?

I went out photographing bluebells but already have one of them in my project so it’s back to covering the alphabet…and today is letter J.

Photo365 – Day 118 – A passing moment

I didn’t have time for any photography today, so this was taken on the way home as passenger – a quick grab shot through the car window on the iphone. My least prepared shot so far in my photo365 journey.

Photo365 – Day 117 – Clumber Park

I went for a cycle round Clumber Park today and passed this rich coloured scene. I positioned the tracks mid photo to give a graphical composition.
Taken with the Olympus EP2 and 17mm lens. I added the darker gradient to the sky in Lightroom.

It’s part of my photo365 project. I’ve been taking a photo a day since January 1st.

Cycle around Ladybower

We drove over to Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire and cycled around the three dams with my son William. We parked just before Fairholmes  and cycled along the road to  Derwent Reservoir then Howden Reservoir and over the old packhorse bridge at Slippery Stones and back round the other side to Ladybower Reservoir.

Great day out! And the last proper day out as William got a job soon after and most of his time currently is spent revising for exams or working. Hopefully we’ll do it again in the not too distant future

Photo365 – Day 115 – Packhorse Bridge

I took the cycle out to Ladybower today and cycled round the 25km route to Packhorse Bridge at Slippery Stones and back. Today’s photo365 is the bridge, a 17th century one, moved upstream brick by brick when the reservoir was created.
It’s the first time I’ve been back to this spot for about 20 years. An enjoyable cycle ride in the company of my son William, included a stop off at Fairholmes for a sausage and bacon sarnie.

Photo365 – Day 114 – Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day

Today’s photo365 is to join in the World Pinhole Day , where thousands shoot pictures through a pinhole. This one was taken using a Nikon D700 with a pinhole plate attached to the front using a T2 mount. The same effect can be had by drilling a fine hole in a body cap.
