The Stamen
2014 - 365 Project

061/365v2 The Stamen

The Lily & its stamen makes a second appearance of the weekend! I felt this was a different enough image to make it worth while showing. A far softer image than the previous image. The lilies flower had only just opened so the stamen hadn’t yet opened up. My wife was

Dovercourt Lighthouse in Colour

I’ve published a couple of pictures of the lighthouses at Dovercourt before, but none in colour before. This was taken using my smaller Sony NEX7 camera whilst I was photographing the lighthouse with my main Nikon D800 camera. The D800 was taking a long (4 minutes or so) exposure which

Why? I have no idea! It would be quite useful though – during a power cut you could cook your egg while you light your room…I could be onto something here!

058/365v2 Cherry and Cream

I’m trying all sorts of different shots at the moment…I could really do with getting some light stands and brackets and clamps and modifiers – the spoon here for example, is taped to a box to hold it in place whilst I poured cream onto the cherry whilst clicking away

It was pleasant over lunchtime today so we popped out into the garden to take some pictures of my wife’s latest kniting creation before it was parcelled uo and sent off to its new owner. Whilst waiting for her to reposition the garment I took a few shots of the

054/365v2 The Barracuda Bass Sound

It was my intention to head out to the coast today but the weather was overcast and it was an hour and a half drive, each way…so I decided to stay at home and catch up on some chores. This is a shot of my Fender Squire Bass guitar composited

053/365v2 Thorndon Country Park

We visited Thorndon Country Park today and had a long walk around it. There are some lovely wood sections, but I’m always a sucker for a view and their were some great ones out towards Kent. This was an HDR shot that I then dabbled with both the oil paint
