Christmas Present

362/366 Mother In Laws Christmas Present

I’ll admit, I was completely confused when I opened this present. All I saw was an Apple like box with the words “USB Rechargable” splashed all over it and a picture of what my addled brain thought was a Zippo lighter! Had she forgotten we had given up smoking almost

361/366 Stars over Great Dunmow

This is something I’m, looking to do a lot more of in the New Year, photography of the night sky. Tonight really wasn’t the ideal time to give this a go – an almost full moon certainly doesn’t help and being in the middle of a small town makes it

360/366 Mmmmmm…Turkey

Christmas Day and the wife prepared her excellent Christmas Dinner for us as usual. JJ the cat has always had a penchant for Turkey (and chicken). I can honestly say I have never seen a cat eat so much Turkey in a day…as you can see from the following photograph,

358/366 Tree Reflection

We haven’t been out to Rowney Woods for ages so nipped out this afternoon before the rain returns again tomorrow. The woods were very wet and very grey so a black and white photograph was always going to be the order of the day, and so adding a reflection in

I thought a nice, cheerful festive picture for today…but then again 😉 The strains of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody floated through from the living room as my wife watched the final of Strictly Come Dancing, I was wondering what to photograph and the old Queen song “Hammer to Fall” came into

356/366 The Christmas Tree

We’re nearly there and, unusually, our Christmas Tree has already been up for nearly a week. We’re normally a lot later putting it up what with one thing and another. Presents have started to appear under the tree…I still haven’t wrapped any of mine, but I have at least got

355/366 The Works Christmas Party – At The Tables

It was the works Christmas party last night and we went to a big marquee out in North Weald to a “From Russia With Love” themed party. It was good fun. By the time I took this shot I’d had a bottle and a half of Shiraz and 3 pints

This gentleman is our tutor on our City and Guilds Level 2 Photography course in Chelmsford. As you will gather, this evening we have been learning lighting for portraiture photography, with an emphasis on the correct focal length to use. This was shot at 70mm, ideally I should have had

350/366 I Love You!

My parents have had a number of English Setters over the years, this is their latest, Milly, who is the softest, best tempered dog I have ever come across. Nothing makes her happier than a good stroke.

348/366 Chain Constructed Yarn

Mega soft wool & alpaca, I’m reliably informed that this is quite unusual. I just liked the texture and lines (plus I just have to go to bed and this was quick ;-).
