Sky Replacement Day

176-365v4 Sky Replacement Day

This mornings walk was accompanied by flat grey skies and a fairly steady drizzle. It was pretty miserable and the sky tends to be a pretty important part of any landscapes. I took a few shots as basically an insurance policy so I had something in the bank for the

095-365v4 – A Simple Orange

At first glance you’d be forgive for wondering why I would title this “A Simple Orange”. Of course, photoshop has had a lot to do with this where I have been messing about this evening. I have eaten the orange pictured so it wasn’t a complete waste of time 😉

036-365v4 Reflected Boughs

I very nearly posted a very similar picture to last Friday’s today (see below). We had a reasonably nice sunrise this morning, although I had already gone past (and photographed) my normal tree before the colours came out, so I followed my own advise, opened photoshop and did a sky

001-365v4 – A Grey Start to the Year

The BBC weather forecast suggested mist and -2°C temperatures and a sunrise at 8.06am. I thought that would make a nice shot, maybe not the rising sun, but a bit of mystery from the mist and some frost would make a decent shot. I was to be disappointed. I was

081/365v3 I’m Just A Teddy Bear Really

When I showed my wife my original picture for today she said, and I quote, “You’re not publishing that are you?” It wasn’t this photograph nor was it rude – just a bit weird. So anyway I made this instead… ‘cos this isn’t weird at all 😉 We’ve recently had
