For the most part people are not curious except about themselves.” ― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent Continuing playing with the scanner and (hopefully) moving beyond the photocopying your arse on the office photocopier stage! I quite enjoyed exploring the “art” of the selfie on the scanner. I don’t do
I’m still not really in the best photographic frame of mind, but did enjoy this new technique (to me anyway) of producing images. It’s not at all complicated, open up your scanner in a darkened room and scan 3d objects to make an image. I took my three favourite shots
So, I’ve been very lazy with the 365 this week. I’ve really not felt enthused about it at all, but, importantly I have taken photos (maybe not very interesting photos admittedly) each day…and here they are. 310 – 365v4 – Rebellion My brother and I go to the Rebellion Festival
Whilst this isn’t the most exciting image I’ve taken, it has given me some ideas for a more interesting shot. It’s funny how just going through the motions (forcing yourself) of taking a photograph can actually set you thinking about different, far more interesting shots and can help you out
I bought a cheap socket set for a very specific purpose, received it and realised it was completely the wrong tool for the job! It’s been sat next to me for months and I finally decided to photograph it yesterday and thought I’d try creating a creepy animal thing out
I’ve been a day behind publishing these photos all week so today you get two shots for the price of one as a bit of a catch up. We visited Rowney Woods yesterday and had a lovely autumnal walk. I took 11 photographs none of which satisfied me…still, at least
I decided I’d have a go at illustrating the classic Two Ronnies sketch “Four Candles” (which you can see below). Ironically I had completely forgotten that the part of the gag that I’ve illustrated was the misunderstanding that the customer wanted fork handles, not four candles, however, the fork handles
This was quite fun, using the defraction of an image in a water bubble to produce this shot. It only took 102 shots to get that just about central! Should have got the tripod out instead of doing it handheld. There’s a second version below that is a bit more
We spent the day sorting out the garden today and had a trip to the Chapel End Nursery in Broxted where I took this shot inside one of there glasshouses.
