I have my next letter lined up but didn’t have time to go and shoot it today. So here’s one from the garden. It’s a bird the cats caught. It’s been eaten by ant etc and is almost at skeleton stage.
I shot with the iphone and hipstamatic as I’m loving the effects this camera creates.
I was struggling to find some object that represented the letter G, and then I saw the scissors and shifted from capital letters to lower case.
Shot for my photo365 project using a Pentax K10D and 16-45mm lens.
The letter F taken with an iphone and hipstamatic
It’s part of a theme of alphabet letters I’m currently shooting for my photo365 project.
My photo365 projects returns to the Alphabet and I’m on E. So here’s the spine of my note book taken with a Pentax K10D and 100mm macro lens.
I popped over to Marsh Lane carboot sale this morning and took the iphone to record some of the visitors.
I parked myself near the exit and took candids as the punters walked past or left. I held the camera phone at waist height and pressed the shutter as people walked into view.
It’s a bit awkward with the hipstamatic app because the shutter is on the screen and not easy to press from a weird angle while you’re looking like your not taking pictures.
It was a bit hit and miss, especially the composition, but I ended up with a good selection of shots.
This is not my favourite but is one of the better ones to illustrate carboot sales. The bloke was looking back at a meat seller who was mid flow in his sales patter.
Today I capture letter D – it’s the handle of a fridge freezer from the side
I’m interrupting my Alphabet series tonight to post a shot from today while testing a new Velbon tripod.
It’s taken from a low viewpoint of bluebells in a wood near Clumber Park.
I used the Pentax K10D and 100mm macro lens.
I’ve decided to shoot the alphabet for my next 26 days of my 365 day project. Now I have a purpose! So today I’m on C and I didn’t have to look far to see the letter C. No further than my feet in fact and some flip flops I use to make quick visits into the garden.
Placed on a black background to avoid any distractions and shot on the Pentax K10D
The letter B…a Pentax wide-angle lens hood, cross processed to make it slightly more interesting. A bit of a cop out as I didn’t spot anything on my daily walk with a B shape, and time was running out this evening. The lens was on my desk and I suddenly spotted its potential.
I decided today that a series of shots showing the letters of the alphabet would be a good theme and help me through some days where I’m lacking inspiration. On such days I will go out and find the next letter of the alphabet.
We start with A – a free standing advertising board outside the opticians in the town centre.
I took this on a new camera App that I downloaded for the iPhone. It’s called the Little Orange Box – one of five styles in the Retro Camera Plus app. It’s free to download.
