237/365v2 Not Every Shot’s a Winner

We tried for ages this morning to get this set of items photographed for an auction my wife is doing with a couple of Etsy friends. The weather wasn’t favourable (chucking it down) so we tried to use a couple of flashes to light the items. This worked well, but

210/365v2 Standing Guard

Another night out with the Bishops Stortford Camera Club. Our regular firestarter and general “ask me to do something & I’ll do it” helper Steve came up trumps with his collection of replica guns and military garb. He posed in all sorts of awkward positions for us, but it was

Not all is quite as it seems in this shot of shells found on the beach at Walton on the Naze. The shot was taken in our spare bedroom and lit with a small torch. The shells are genuinely from Walton On The Naze, the pebbles, well actually they came
