Winter Photography (Part I)

The first thing many think about when this subject is mentioned is snow, but there's much more to winter than the white stuff. Snow is synonymous with the winter months but take a step back (watch the ice!) and consider how much snow most of us re...

The Valentine

Well, they've finally knocked down the old Valentine public house at Gants Hill. It was a rowdy, grotty old pub, but the original building was OK. Another landmark gone. I can't seem to find any history about the place, but perhaps it didn't have a...

Sparrowhawk

A lovely sparrowhawk visited the garden yesterday. It sat around for about 10 mins but the birds weren't playing, so she eventually flew off.

Black and White Photography (Part IV)

In this final part I'll look at producing a black and white image from a colour original. You've identified a subject that will look effective in black and white. You've carefully composed the image and considered line, from, pattern and so on. But ...

Nokia 2720 Flip - It's like an old skool mashup

It's like a "dumbphone" for people who still want to be able to access some of the features available through the internet, like Facebook, Whatsapp, and maybe even some light Google Maps (not that it does live guided driving directions). But it's a...

NEW Mobile Tuesday

I purchased a new pocket friendly mobile phone yesterday, while my previous one, which overheated and refused to go beyond the opening screen is used as a hand warmer, LOL. New photos to be arriving soon.
