As Sunday evenings go, it started off uneventfully just like any other. Children in bed, the little television of interest viewed and then, with a mug of coffee in hand I settled down in front of the PC editing images. The intended relaxation failed ...

Was at Melrose today watching Selkirk v Melrose one of only two top flight rugby games on in Scotland as a Selkirk supporter was nearly a perfect saturday as we got a 14 points all draw hopefully that point will be enough for Selkirk to stay in prem ...

It was the week before Christmas... God looked down from Heaven and observed the people of Great Britain. He sighed, shook his head, and reached for his mobile. He tapped in the message and sent the text off to the Devil. The Devil was not surp...

Hi The day was another promising much in the way of sunshine and that soon disappeared to be replaced by grey/white clouds and the temprature dipping .....Here in Kent we have a severe weather warning for around 15cm of snow tonight, am night shi...

Just sat down to a welcome cup of coffee, I've spent this morning putting up the Christmas decorations (Rachel will be chuffed when she gets back from work, she's been nagging me since the 1st!). Once more I am perched at the end of the table, wit...

Hi A freezing start at minus 6 degrees this am and it didnt get above freezing all day. Until around 8pm when it raised to a miserly 2 degrees and the sleet started.... Was manic at work and had no time to sneak away to visit Epz at all :( ...

Hi When out and about over the weekend, we noticed an empty shop at Deal Pier, owned by Dover Council it invited tenders for the lease. I duly called them this morning. Alas it has been out to tender and an offer accepted, they now go through a pr...

Hi It is official I am a lotto winner wooohooo ! Got back from the market frozen yesterday, as per the blog.... Then opened the email account this am ( at 3 am ) as was up for ET work and email from Lotto HQ , now I could see some irony here, we f...

Hi We woke EARLY the alarm not required and after the necessary caffeine intake we got dressed , layer after layer and headed to the car, loaded the stock and drove down to the market. A quick introduction and we were shown our pitch, we unloa...

Hi We set the alarm and were up and out for 06:30 ... headed for Walmer and Deal, the rain was pouring but the skies promised a little light, and eventually we got some. Such a photography paradise I think the fishing boats and all the winches and...

Omg today i went to millstone to see Valentines day. It was horrible the theater was freezing, and Taylor Swift was in the movie. When i saw her being preppy and kissing Taylor Lautner i wanted to throw stuff at the screen like so hard. I

I just love being out in the countryside and around by the coast with my camera by my side. We have such wonderful scenery in this country and fabulous flowers in our gardens so i will keep clicking away with my camera trying to do justice to what my...

Doors can be interesting subjects to photograph especially if they are old and decaying. Not only do they provide shapes, textures and colour they also provide a sense of history: who has been through these doors over the years? Does the door suggest...

Years ago, I bought an infrared filter for one of my interchangeable lenses, and started to use it on my 20D. I thought the whole process was quite cumbersome, to be honest. I do often use a tripod and long shutter times for landscape shots, but have...

I have just been to Mid Wales for a couple of days. I was staying in the Lake Vrwnry area. I have never been to somewhere that screamed photograph me as soon as I got out of my car. This was inspirational to me as I have a habit of becoming bogged do...

Single Tulip in a small glass vase.

Not the best macro shot in the world, but I had to try and take this with the dog licking my face as he thought I was laying on the lawn so that he could play with me.

A busy day today so only time for a quick snap on my way home:

I hope you like what you see on my web page. this is my second year on e-photozine and i think i have learned alot from all the other photographers on this site. I am tending to start to to shoot more portraits and im also in the process of setting...

Some of you might already know about Pieter Hugo and his photography. If not... enjoy. Certainly beats going out for a walk with Fifi the poodle :) Have a look... really !

Hey If your still dropping by and reading these meanderings thanks and drop a comment or two all appreciated. Well nothing done today new , we are heading off to Scotland Friday evening so packing and checking gear and that was about it.... ...

Hi A day editing yesterday's portrait sitting, images loaded to disc and memory stick and delivered this afternoon, job done. Client happy , and so was I to be honest. Have another shoot tomorrow afternoon and another first for me sports, foo...

After a very hectic week, it was a blessing to escape to The Coppice, for a few hours this morning. Glad I did to:) The Coal tits are now calling in, on a regular basis.:D A pair of Goldfinches finally took the plunge this morning & landed brief...

Today I wore a black tie. It's the first time it's been out since my father's funeral over six years ago. And it's the smartest I've looked for about three years. I was at the funeral of a lady who it turns out was very well liked. The church was...

Another visit to the hospital today...45 minutes delay so I had to wait around a long time. I then get called into a small consulting room and wait again. So while I waited I took a three step panoramic view in front of me using the iphone. It's for ...

Yesterday was awful - torrential rain all day!! What a difference a day makes! It's beautiful out there, the sun is shining and there's a warm breeze! I decided to wander down to the pond to check everything was okay. The Mallard was there, b...

Using up the remaining stock of balloons. Usual suspects, Triggersmart in sound mode used to trigger the flashes, camera set on a couple of seconds exposure.

It's a horrible chilly soggy evening and inspiration to do anything is sadly lacking. Trouble is I can't even see anything on the box to settle down to which is a nuisance - I'll have to find something online instead. Meanwhile I did do a pic for...

Someone once quite famously said "there's no such thing as a free lunch." Well, this one was. Admittedly, it would appear to have come from someone in high places but it was most certainly free! Our local church is given over each Satu...

In paternoster Square this afternoon:

It's funny how you can walk through somewhere for years then suddenly notice something. Today I noticed these white spots everywhere I looked. It took we a while to realise that I was actually looking at discarded chewing gum. Once I noticed it,...

Went to an outdoor art show this weekend- lots of great stuff to see. One artist, (Andrew Carson) had a display of his kinetic sculptures, a colorful and to me a fanciful blend of mechanics powered by the wind. Interesting to learn his degree w...

As well as chocolate, beer and photography (gave up the ciggies 3 years ago), I have realised I am addicted to watching football on the telly, more specifically the Euro 2008 competition where there is no home nation team presence. I love football...

I have now finished for a month out of the work system, im on nights next week then 3 weeks off, its a tough life lol lol

I require some comments for my pictures so that I don't dry up. I submit pictures but I am bewildered when I have no comments made about them. I don't believe I am a Mark Cleghorn(Yet!) but I also not a monkey with a camera with the lens cap left ...

So while everyone else was basking in a May heat wave, we were wearing thermals, gloves, hats and protecting our cameras with shower caps. Anglesey threw everything at us, sometimes all at once. The Force 10 gale became the base line for the weeke...

Well it’s been a humdinger this year and now that the clocks have moved forward we turn our attention to lobelia plugs & spring cleaning (inside & out) and clearly now that the shops have sold through on their winter ranges & stocked up on those oh s...

It's been raining all day and making those small pattering sounds on the window. So here's my window looking out. Focus is on the reflections of the background tree in the drops. A wide aperture was used to make the tree branches totally out of focus...

Day 82 of the 365 and day 3 of the sub-project of the 'foodabet'. C is for Cabbage For these shots I have been using a 150w studio light with softbox attached placed to the left and pointed directly up towards a low ceiling. I have a silver re...

A phrase I’m sure will upset a lot of people, but that’s the world we live in now. I leant on one of the hand rails, and used the vibration control to make sure that there was no extra lens blur. The low light allowed me to show the speed of ...
