Sometimes you can try too hard. Today was one of those occasions…I took a fair few photographs but didn’t like any of them. So I had a root around in a kitchen draw and found we had a couple of these white spoons so thought I could come up with

078-365v4 Busted

I came across this on the path up Lime Tree Hill in Great Dunmow. This sort of thing always attracts photographers because it can tell so many stories and ask so many questions. Why is this here? What happened? Was there an accident? Was it stolen? What was the actual

072-365v4 Black and White Unite IV

A continuation on the theme…I rather like this one. Some good leading lines and, I hope, some atmosphere. This was done with a long shutter speed and the whole image was lit by a torch with a bit of light painting (which I haven’t done for ages).

070-365v4 Black and White Unite III.
