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...0

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...0

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...0

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...0

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...0

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...0

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. ...0

You can see this structure from Sheffield Parkway, and I decided to have a look this week after my third trip down that way. There’s not much of note around it now other than bungalows, but it’s quite a prominent landmark. And it won’t be there for...0

Ted seemed to be looking out of the window this evening. I loved the way the light seemed to wrap around him. There wasn’t much of it, so I turned off the VC and stuck the camera on a tripod. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 38mm; ISO 200; F/10...0

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...0

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...0

I spent most of my day hoping to get a glimpse of a kingfisher that didn’t show. You can’t win them all. Maybe I’m the only one who saw the shape of a fish in these plant stems. Maybe solitary confinement made me nuts. Clearly birdwatching is...0
