119-354v4 From Bean to Cup

When I did my original half a cup of coffee I didn’t have any coffee beans so couldn’t do this shot. I think the earlier photograph stands on its own though, this one is different enough to be considered properly separate. The cutting out in photoshop was a bit more

We had a day out to the coast at Aldeburgh yesterday and visited Lackford Lakes on the way back. The day’s featured image is a triptych of some of the birds that kept a close eye on us as we ate our fish and chips on the (rather coll and

117-365v4 A View of Hanningfield Reservoir

We spent some of today walking around Hanningfield Reservoir. It’s a lovely walk, but was a bit over busy today with the lovely weather and everyone only recently out of lockdown. It’s a little worrying to see how people just march around as if their never has been a pandemic,

116-365v4 An iron fist in a velvet glove

Today (and indeed yesterday) we have spent sorting the garden out, which included a visit to the local garden centre. The garden is now much improved. In amongst the rubbish and weeds we came across some wild strawberries which have just burst into flower and an old rusting two wheeled

115-365v4 Two Shots of Coffee

This took longer than it should have and I’ve spent so long on this now I’m probably prepared to overlook the fact that I don’t have 2 matching cups! I did try to get 2 matching black and white ones but couldn’t find any that came in a matching set!

I saw an interview today via the RPS with the photographer Valda Bailey who creates some really beautiful ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) and in camera multiple exposure images, check out her web site – it’s a real treat. As with all the RPS Zoom talks she had a huge range

113-365v4 Black and White XI aka The End of the Line

A continuation of my Black and White Unite series…and the title is not an indication that this is the last one. This is becoming an interesting project. I started out making the pattern backgrounds in Photoshop, I’ve now progressed onto using Adobe Illustrator as well, a program that I have

112-365v4 Soap Bubble World.

You may recall a month or so ago I had a go at photographing soap worlds and not being too impressed with my efforts. Well, today I’ve had another go…amd I’m still not particular;y happy with my results, but they are certainly a step in the right direction. My main

111-365v4 Great Dunmow Polyscape

This is a new technique to me and the images I have used here don’t really do the technique justice, but as a learning device this has worked fine. The misty landscape in the shapes is today’s picture. The background shot is of Doctors Pond taken some time ago –

110-365v4 Pin Cushion Moon

A quick shot right at the end of the evening (I had a picture of a sock from earlier to fall back on!). I quite like how this ended up looking like a moon, it’s one of Debbie’s pin cushions amd I was just playing really to see what would
