Seven Litres of Red
2016 - 365 Project

147/365v3 – Seven Litres of Red.

Another frosty and foggy start this morning…everywhere was fairly unremittingly grey…until I reached the graveyard of all places, where this red watering can really did stand out.

146/365v3 – Props

I was chatting with a friend at our camera club this evening. He is also doing a 365 this year and he was telling me about how he had taken loads of pictures but just didn’t like what he got. This happens to me all the time…and of course, I

144/365v3 – Misty Trees in Rowney Woods

Lovely work this lunchtime through Rowney Woods in Essex. There was a slight mist throughout the woods giving some great atmosphere…there was also a lot of bird activity including

From Dawn to Dusk
2016 - 365 Project

140/365v3 – From Dawn to Dusk.

I think this may well be a first for me – both sunrise and sunset from the same day. Great Dunmow’s Doctors Pond this morning was cold and frost – much of the pond was frozen over…to such an extent that the schoolboy with stick couldn’t break the ice…This evening’s

Double Trouble
2016 - 365 Project

139/365v3 – Double Trouble

I am not a portrait photographer! I don’t know why portraits cause me such issues, stick me in front of a landscape and all is fine, put a human in front of me and I can barely operate the camera…it’s very odd because I don’t have problems talking to people
