I didn’t meet Jenson Button today. In and of itself this is not, perhaps, unusual. After all, I haven’t met him (or any other Formula 1 driver) for the previous 37.5 years. I didn’t take his photo today either. This could be the start of a long and almost endless list of famous people I […]

Can’t resist. I want to do a proper write up of the extension tubes – showing what they look like, how they fit together, and the impact they have on expsoure, focal distance, and depth-of-field. Until that point, here’s some of the photos I’ve taken with them thus far!

I got myself all geared up for a climb this evening, and got to the climbing wall, only to discover it closes at 8pm on Saturday. I thought it was open ’till 10pm. That’ll teach me for not checking (and being too lazy to go last night, when it was open ’till 10!) Anyway, seeing […]

I just found out that I won a photo competition! It was a local church who were running it, and I entered the photo below into the water category. It won the category, and was also voted best in show!! Chuffed, to be honest. I think it’s probably the best photo I’ve ever taken (best […]

Set myself a mini challenge this week – to take 7 photos on a musical theme. Quite happy with the results, so here they are! I also realised that I’m starting to take photos trying to please the other members of 365project.org, and try to make it into the popular pages / top 20. This […]

Ha – bet the title made you think this was another photography entry! What’s that? It didn’t? Oh well. It’s actually pretty well halfway through the year, so I thought I’d take stock over my resolutions and targets for 2011 (as first covered in this entry). Climbing – absolutely dismal! Haven’t been since April, and […]

Continuing the theme of photographing my culinary creations, today it was the turn of Rocky Roads! We had the pleasure of looking after a good friend’s daughter all morning, and while she spent a considerable amount of time like this: We also concocted the following – if I do say so myself – delicious biccies! […]

One of the frustrating (although not in a bad way) things about the 365 project is the one-photo-per-day rule. I had the fortune to pop down to Cornwall for a few days last week, and ended up at the end of each day with several good (IMO!) candidates for that day’s picture. Only one allowed […]

Hope I’m not getting boring!! The last 6 posts have been about photography, and this is no exception. I’ll save some bandwidth by not actually including any pictures this time – how about that? Starting week 4 of my 365 (which in itself is a bit scary), and haven’t particularly struggled so far for inspiration […]

For no particularly good reason, I have decided to mirror my Flickr 365 set on a ‘proper’ 365 site, in this instance: 365project.org I like 365project because it has a calendar view that shows you the picture from each day, and it allows e-mail submission (but haven’t tried that yet!) [Edit – note on flickr […]
