Abstract Beater
2016 - 365 Project

028/365v3 Abstract Beater

Another late picture today, so, can you tell what it is? It’s a macro shot of an old kitchen utensil and the title is a big clue!

A Need for Speed

027/365v3 A Need For Speed

Heading back from camera club and no photo in the bag…I balanced the camera on the steering wheel (just my little Sony NEX7) and clicked away…this is a composite of two shots so you get the speedometer in view as well as the streaking lights. I particularly like the fact

Great Dunmow Maltings

026/365v3 Great Dunmow Malting’s

Wandering back from the Co-Op I noticed the Maltings gateway was being guarded by a cat so thought it might make a reasonable subject for today’s photograph. Great Dunmow used to be quite a brewing town – until its closure in the 1940s, malt was still made for the Dunmow

The River Cam has Dried Up

025/365v3 – The River Cam – all dried up

We took a walk around Widdington near Saffron Walden today and came across this dried river bed. We have been here before and there is usually water flowing through here so it was nice to be able to step down into the river bed and take this picture. When I

Sold Out

024/365v3 Sold Out

I’ve gone all literal today – Estate Agents boards outside the old Dunmow hospital which is now flats and houses. It’s a lovely building but always has plenty of Estate Agent action outside. It’s on the main road into Dunmow from the Chelmsford side, so a great advertising position…and we

Leith Hill Tower

023/365v3 Leith Hill Tower

Continuing my week of “signs” photographs…this just about hits the brief, although I accept that the photo isn’t really about the sign. I should have taken a shot of the sign at the car park for this National Trust attraction that said “Leith Hill Tower ¾ mile Steep Gradients” because the

022/365v3 Danger of Death at Sunset

So, it’s the start of a new theme today for me to periodically ignore. Out of the hat today was “Signs”…I’m not sure what I was thinking when I chose to select that one as a theme! Not to worry, to start the new theme off here’s two signs at

A Murky Start

021/365v3 A Murky Start

Got up this morning to the first fog of the autumn. All the spiders webs had all the dew drops on them and I took the usual cliche shots of those…but they weren’t sharp enough to share so you get my favourite tree on my early morning walk instead…I have

Bursting Balloons in Stortford

020/365v3 Bursting Balloons in Stortford

Can you see the tenuous link to yesterday’s photo? I know it’s neither a window or a reflection, but you just can’t beat firing air gun pellets at water filled balloons and photographing the resultant explosion! This was done using a trigger trap and 2 flash guns at Bishops Stortford

Ballooning Over Dunmow

019/365v3 Ballooning Over Dunmow

This morning as I left the house for my morning walk around Dunmow I decided, at the last minute, to switch my 18 – 55mm lens with my 55 – 210mm lens on my Sony NEX7. I’m not sure why…but I was very glad I did. If I had taken
