Day 218: Spokes
Another day on the bike, but I didn’t take any photos while I was out, so I opted for another detail shot on return. This was another one of those shots where I considered the focal length to use first, needing a wide angle and minimal distortion...

Day 216: St. Peter’s Church
I cycled out of town by a different route today, which took me to a lovely little village called Barnburgh. The church here is lovely in the sun, as the stone is a very light colour whcih seems to glow when the sunlight hits it. Apparently the...

Day 214: Data protection
Today we had a little barbecue, but it was old financial records we were cooking, not food. We’re having a bit of a clear-out at the moment, and this seemed the safest way of protecting our information. Plus, you know, it’s fun. It’s been pos...

Day 213: Maintenance
Today was the first of a few warm days we’re to expect, so I was on maintenance duty today. I love working on bikes. I’m rubbish when it comes to car maintenance, so it’s a pleasure to work on something when you can just look at it and see how it...

Day 211: A reason to exercise caution
This was the only photograph I took today, and it really reminded me of a glass sheet hologram that I gave to my dad one father’s day. However, part of the reason for that can be seen in the petal in the rear left of the photograph. If you look ...

Day 207: Chocolate galore
I was brought this selection of tasty treats today after my fiancée returned from a trip to Cadbury World in Birmingham. Which made up for not being able to go myself! Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 270mm; ISO 200; F/7.1; 1/100s. VC on.

Day 204: Da-dum…Da-dum….
I’ve been working some pretty long hours since I started my new placement, so I’ve had to be creative today. I didn’t realise we had so many serrated knives. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 270mm; ISO 200; F/9; 1/160s. VC on.

Day 201: On the move again
I’ve barely stopped for the last few days, what with my recent secondment starting, and planning various things for the local Photographic Society. Tonight I displayed some on my older work, and it seemed to go down well. I was rather rushed though...

Day 200: Fish
In retrospect, I should have paid more attention to what kind of fish this was, but hey ho. I snapped this while having a walk around Wentworth Garden centre after work today. It was a short walk, as I’ve got loads to do over the next couple of day...

Day 199: Farewell and adieu
Today’s photograph is of a gift given to me by a friend at work. I’ve had a very sudden change of location within the same company which I’m hoping will be a very good opportunity for me. In many ways I’m sad to be leaving though, as it’s been a wo...

Day 198: Tokens of a former life
This is a collection of some the State quarters that I accumulated before leaving the US a few years ago. Unfortunately there were another ten circulated after I left, so I’ve not got the full set. However, I do have one for each of the eleven stat...

Day 196: Playing fetch
We’ll start of with a couple of cute attention-grabbers. Whilst I’ve been conscious of wanting to get some good photos again, I’ve tried to get a bit of downtime in this week. The weather’s not been fantastic, so I’ve had a great excuse to play wi...

Day 195: Cotton stitched leather
A close-up image of one of our table lamps tonight, since I managed to sleep my afternoon away. I can’t even begin to explain how busy my week has been. It’s all been a bit of a blur. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 78mm; ISO 200; F/8; 1/30s. ...

Day 192: Fruit pastilles
Look tasty, don’t they? They were. No extra lenses for this one, just the 18-270 PZD, as it comes. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 270mm; ISO 200; F/16; 1/160s. VC on.

Day 191: Paper swallowtail
Another origami piece today, and my favourite of several butterfly designs by Michael G. Lafosse. The beauty of a lot of his work is the simplicity behind it, and the scope for variation within the designs. I think the paper I used for this one wor...
