A silver birch against a wall. I’ve walked past this location almost daily for 9 years or so and never noticed the silver birch trees. Now I’m charged to take a photo each day for my Photo365 project my eyes are opening even wider than they did before. It’s a great exercise for visual awareness.

I finally got round to getting an iphone. I’ve been wanting one for a long while…and apart from the usual stuff a phone’s good for, my first step was to download the Bloom app. I heard about it ages ago and watched a few youtube videos. I love the tranquil sounds. The app created by ambient master Brian Eno is a sound app. You touch areas of the screen and it plays a sound. Touch other areas and the note changes. Each note is recorded and plays back in an infinite loop. You can build up a beautiful soundscapes…ideal for relaxation.
And the iphone? Well, like with most modern phones, I can access my work email wherever I am…just must remember to turn it off when I’m in Bloom mode!
So today’s photo365 is my finger activating a note.
Another shot from a series I’m building on historical building around Worksop/Sheffield
This is Smiths Flour Mill owned by one of the largest independent flour millers in the UK. Worksop has been their head office since 1906. It’s the back end taken from Canal Road with Chesterfield Canal in the foreground.
It was taken using the Olympus EP2 and 17mm lens
I’ve bumped contrast and colour using Lightroom to give it a tone mapped feel, but hopefully not too heavy.
Here is the second of 12 sets of pictures from my photo365 project. This one covers the month of February 2011

I had an appointment with a doctor at the hospital today to check my vascular system. As I sat in a small room waiting I thought |I’d take ma quick snap. I placed the Fuji compact camera on the floor with the timer set to two seconds and took this view. No I’m not sat on a toilet 
I was quite please with how aligned I’d got it.
This is part of my photo365 project, where I take a photo each day for a whole year…check out my previous entries in my blog.
This is a figurine placed in front of an electric fire and then the metering exposed for the fire. The result was a silhouette of the figurine, so I used a torch to illuminate that. The first few attempts were either too bright or had reflections on the background.
This one was done with the torch firstly positioned on the left so the shadow projected on the back and then a small amount to the right to evenly balance the exposure on the face. A slow shutter speed gave me time to move the torch around during the exposure and has created the blurry flames.
A shot taken today in a local cafe using a Fuji compact.
Pointing up to the ceiling in the corridor of our office and then processed in Lightroom.
I DO need to get out more!
I took the Fuji point and shoot camera to work again today and got this shot as I left the office and the light was fading. It’s the disabled section of the office car park and my shadow from two floodlights. I initially tried to disguise the fact I’m holding a camera but the shape looked poor so I introduced the arm.
David’s sketches for the preliminary discussion about the V5 ePHOTOzine home page redesign.
I decided to shoot it at a jaunty angle and then use my cross processing preset in Lightroom.
We covered a lot of ground in the meeting and work will go ahead on it in a few weeks.
This photo is part of my Photo365 project where I take and upload a photo each day. The rest can be seen in previous pages of my blog.
