Spoons
2021 - 365 Project

079/365v4 Spoons

Sometimes you can try too hard. Today was one of those occasions…I took a fair few photographs but didn’t like any of them. So I had a root around in a kitchen draw and found we had a couple of these white spoons so thought I could come up with

076-365v4 The Man of Steel’s Breakfast

Why do I always work out the best way to set something up when I have struggled for ages with the worst way to set something up? Thus it was this evening when I struggled to get these steel ball bearings to stay where I wanted them. I’d done about

072-365v4 Black and White Unite IV

A continuation on the theme…I rather like this one. Some good leading lines and, I hope, some atmosphere. This was done with a long shutter speed and the whole image was lit by a torch with a bit of light painting (which I haven’t done for ages).

March of the Baldheads

070-365v4 Black and White Unite III.

AKA March of the bald heads. I wish I would start making these photographs a little earlier! I left it right to the last minute again, but at least this time I was able to produce images that I was aiming for yesterday. You have 4 to go at –

Light Bulb in Blue

063-365v4 See The Light!

A couple of days ago I published an image of a light bulb with a red background. It was pretty boring, so, with a bit more time available to me today I sat down and re-photographed it. First things first, let’s get rid of that red background…what was I thinking?

That Light Bulb Moment

061-365v4 – Red Light

This is something of an emergency post as it got rather later than expected and I hadn’t taken a shot all day. So, Debbie had left out a burnt out bulb for me to replace, I gave it a quick polish and set it up against a red background…quite why

060-365v4 Black and White Unite

As a youth I was really into the 2Tone movement – The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, Madness et al and I still listen to a lot of that style of music. So I was trying to come up with something to photograph and I decided to try and make

057-365v4 When A Photo becomes a Purse

My wife runs her own business – The Crimson Rabbit where she makes all sorts of hand sewn, knitted, crotched goods that she sells all over the world. She asked me if she could use one of my photographs to make a fabric to use for her coin purses, which

056-365v4 Eau de l’orange

You may recall my little hints of pictures to come here and here. Well the judging was completed yesterday and I came 3rd in our creative competition (18/20) with a similar image to this one (see below for the actual judged images with an as entered version of the image and

048-365v4 Just a Rubiks Cube

Rather like an earlier post, today’s image is of something that will become more than it appears (hopefully, if I can get it to work!). So here’s a Rubiks Cube (full disclosure, it’s not Rubiks, but you get my point). Current scores in the Rats vs Seton match is 6-1
