365 - 9 - continuation usung a flash

Spent an hour or two this morning experimenting with the flash. I have a sigma ring flash that has been in the cupboard for years, forgot I had it, bought it years ago when in my macro phase, will have to get it used this week on a few weeds. I may h...

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 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 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 197: Aston Martin

The Aston Martin DB9 is one of my favourite cars of all time. It’s a beautiful piece of engineering, and I’m proud to say I own this one. Unfortunately, I’ve got no chance of driving it, seeing as it’s only a few inches long Still, a guy can dream...

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 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...

Day 189: Elsecar Reservoir

I visited a different location this evening for a walk around. It turned into a really lovely evening, and I even got to see a kingfisher zipping across the pond five minutes into my walk (although that makes my last two attempts to find one eve...

Day 186: Looking back and forwards

Whilst we were trying to plan our wedding reception today we ended up reminiscing and pulling out the old photo albums. I still kick myself when I think about the fact that I spent three years living in heart of the Lake District, and then took ...

Day 185: Crab Spider

This little fellow (and he was small, as you’ll see if you skip forward a bit) was trucking across the floor of my home today. I relocated him to the sink to see just how close I could get, sticking a +3 dioptre on to the front of the lens, and ...
