A Perfume Bottle
2025 - 365 Project

021-365v5 – Throw Away

Just a quick throw away shot for today of a small perfume (I think) bottle. I took a whole bunch of these shots in what I thought was OK light, but turned out, it really wasn’t. This is about the sharpest shot I got!

020-365v5 – A Wild Adventure

Jess and I had a little adventure this morning when we decided to follow the course of the Harden Burn which flows through the bottom of our garden. The terrain was pretty rough, especially for Jess whose shorter legs meant she had to bound over the bracken rather than walk.

Hit Or Miss

019-365v5 – Hit or Miss

This is my Fender (well Squire) Stratocaster that I have had for well over 30 years. Sadly I’ve not played any of my (5) guitars for years, so long in fact that I’ve lost the callouses on the ends of my fretting hand which now means, whenever I play them

Lasagne Dinner

Debbie made a homemade Lasagne for dinner tonight, as you will be able to gather, it was lovely and we have 2 portions left over that have gone into the freezer for another day. Let’s see what our friends over at the AI department have got to tell us about

May I Join You
2025 - 365 Project

017-365v5 – Can I Join You?

One of Jess’s favourite tricks is opening the bathroom door whilst you are otherwise engaged. I got my own back today by capturing her as she did it. She hates having her picture taken, she really doesn’t like the camera pointing at her for some reason. I used my 8mm

Falling Down

016-365v5 – Falling Down

Another go at the rear curtain sync game and whist note what I was going for it’s quite an interesting shot nonetheless. Was pondering what I could write about in this evening’s post and, while I was thinking of what title I should give this the track “Falling Down” by

Leading Lines in the Forest
2025 - 365 Project

015-365v5 – A Leading Line

So, this could be my 52Project shot for this week. The subject is Leading Lines, I do believe this is quite a good example of leading lines, but I think I can do better. This was shot in low light on my mobile so the quality really isn’t as good

A Speedy Solution

014-365 v5 – A Speedy Solution

I’ve been experimenting with rear curtain sync flash today in preparation for an image (and possibly a series of images) I hope to complete over the next couple of weeks. The idea of rear curtain sync is that you take a relatively long exposure (in this case 2 seconds) and

Abstract Kitchen
2025 - 365 Project

013-365v5 – Abstract Kitchen

I do enjoy a bit of abstraction. As the snow has (pretty much) gone now and it is pouring with rain outside I turned my attention to what I could photograph in the house. It’s a new (to us) house so I haven’t yet photographed it to any great extent.

012-365 v5 The Log Trailer

This should be the last time for a while that we have a snow photograph as we have had a fairly large thaw since this morning when this photograph was taken. I’ve taken this shot a few times but it’s never made the grade, until now. So here you have
