Just made it in time with this. After a not particularly good day, I realised at the last minute that I hadn't got a shot for today, so I had to fall back on the ever reliable Sprocket.

I've no idea what this is. I found it in the school grounds this afternoon and thought it might make an interesting target.

As there's a Jubilee celebration this weekend and since the school at which I'm a governor and which Chloe, my daughter attends, will be closed, we decided to hold our celebrations tomorrow. It's also the last day of this half term and the day on which we open our doors as an academy for ...

I found these growing in a front garden during my travels and thought them rather impressive.

This is no.122 and one third of the way through my venture to take and upload a shot every day for a year. I had intended for today's shot to somehow celebrate that milestone but as usual, circumstances have dictated otherwise. There's still time to change this, I suppose, should another, mo...

Another of Dunstables old town centre buildings. I've no idea what this one is, or ever has been used for. It just looks quite photogenic. In a brickwork kind of way.

I found myself sitting in the sun for most of the afternoon on a bench at our local park, watching the traffic go by, much of it going to or coming from the ASDA store. It's not a bad spot for picking up shots of passing people, traffic, life in general and the occasional drunk. This afternoo...

Captured whilst out excercising the dog and the daughter. I rather think that this speaks for itself.

. . . and another one. This time taken using my Sony and the 18-70 with one of those screw-in 'macro' things on the end of the lens. I find that they work, after a fashion, giving great DoF. but they're really tricky to focus with even using a tripod, which I didn't do in this instance, p...

Shot using my phone; an old 'Samsung Steele.' Levels, curves, and resized using FastStone.

A plant with a fly upon it.

A quick shot from yesterday taken with the trusty Fuji. Just cropped and curves adjustment.

A chance encounter on the way to school yesterday afternoon. The usual treatment in Lightroom but I saved and Photoshopped it as RGB (rather than sRGB) as was suggested in a recent forum thread and converted it to sRGB during the 'save for web' (as a Jpeg.), final part of the process. A l...

. . . and a bug. Actually, the bug's a bonus; I didn't know it was thee until I got the shot ready for uploading. The first Mauve Aqualiga that I've got this year. The other plants, there are five altogether are now all showing flowers but they're all pink, lilac or two-tone. I'd nev...

Captured this afternoon at a 'Fun day' at Priory Gardens.
