2013 - 52 Week Project

45/52 Cat Burglar

I don’t do much compositing – taking more than 1 picture and merging them together to create a new shot – but this is one that came out really well. This was an original shot of Badger, one of our cats taken a couple of years ago merged with a

36/52 John Webb Windmill, Thaxted

I’ll sometimes go out with a very particular idea of what sort of picture I want to create. I don’t always achieve what I’m looking for, but when it comes off I do feel such pleasure in the final image. This is one such shot, a long exposure black and

Christmas Present

362/366 Mother In Laws Christmas Present

I’ll admit, I was completely confused when I opened this present. All I saw was an Apple like box with the words “USB Rechargable” splashed all over it and a picture of what my addled brain thought was a Zippo lighter! Had she forgotten we had given up smoking almost

358/366 Tree Reflection

We haven’t been out to Rowney Woods for ages so nipped out this afternoon before the rain returns again tomorrow. The woods were very wet and very grey so a black and white photograph was always going to be the order of the day, and so adding a reflection in

336/366 Down My Street

Our one shot challenge for our City & Guilds course this week is “Down My Street”…I set it and am now struggling to come up with something interesting (although I do have a possible plan ;-)). So I popped out tonight and grabbed this shot. Unusually for me there is

320/366 Polling Day

We had elections for the new police and crime commissioners today and on my way to voting I took this shot. I was particularly taken with the fact that this shot could have easily been taken anytime in the last 40 years and so thought it was a good candidate

286/366 Warkworth High Street and Castle

I don’t think there are many town in the world that can boast a better view than this even on a drizzily Friday morning in the autumn. This shot came top in in our City & Guilds one shot challenge competition as well 😉

271/366 Spray Away

Today’s shot is of a can of Right Guard anti-perspirant being deployed in black and white. I thought this would be harder to capture than it actually was.

252/366 The Flitch Way

Great Dunmow used to have a railway line running through it that started in Bishop’s Stortford and finished, 45 minutes later in Braintree (and vice versa). The passenger service ended in 1952 with goods traffic continuing to use the line until its close in 1969. Following the demise of the

245/366 In Tandem

Walking through Rowney Woods today we were passed by these two gentlemen on their tandem bike. They got a fair old shift on as they completed the circuit around Rowney Woods very quickly.
