059-365v5 – Love

I really had very little idea what I was going to shoot for today’s Flickr 21 challenge’s theme of Love, but nature came to my rescue and Debbie came to nature’s rescue. We suddenly heard a bang on one of our windows. Looking through the window we could see a

058-365v5 – Inspiration

Todays Flickr 21 Day Birthday Photo Challenge is “Inspiration” which I puzzled over for a short time, but the subject was easily answered by my photographic inspirations, some of whom are set out here in this photo of a small selection of my photobooks. My favourite genre is photography from

057-365v5 – Family

Another Flickr 21 Challenge today with the subject of “family”. There was no way Debbie was going to be photographed so I needed to come up with something else to make an image out of and used Debbie’s small pottery cat family as my subject. Photographed twice, once from the

056-365v5 – Weirdness

Today’s challenge from Flickr in celebration of their 21st birthday is “Weirdness”. I like a bit of weirdness and I’ve done a few selfies that have left my wife scratching her head but I didn’t have any particular idea until I was making a pot of tea this afternoon and

Hareshaw Linn Waterfall

055-365v5 – Hareshaw Linn

The first non-Flickr led post for a while. I decided to visit Hareshaw Linn waterfall today. Unbeknown to me it is half term so the whole area was quite busy, but I got lucky and had a reasonably quiet 20 minutes to produce a few images. ChatGPT has this to

054-365v5 – Reflection

Today our Flickr Challenge was reflection. I created two images for this and am leading with the shot created entirely in camera of my Mandolin covered in cobwebs. I cleaned it off and retook the shots without the cobwebs, but actually preferred this shot. The second shot was a picture

Just a quick one today – vintage was the Flickr challenge so here’s a shot of my Great Grandfather’s pocket watch. I’ve added some much and film edging to age the image a bit.

052-365v5 – Memories

Today’s Flickr 21st Challenge is “Memories” so I thought a couple of “selfies” would do. As you can probably see I was, many years ago, a choir boy for a few years at Adel Parish Church. This was shortly before becoming one of those punk rocker nuisances, frightening old ladies

051-365v5 – Curiosity

In today’s Flickr 21Day Challenge we have “Curiosity”. So we dug out a box put some paper in it along with a phone playing some bird sounds. Along comes Jess and she is immediately cocking her head trying to work out what is inside the box. Needless to say, she

050-365v5 – Artistry

Today’s Flickr challenge word is “Artistry”. Bearing in mind that the definition of Artistry is noun creative skill or ability.“the artistry of the pianist” Short of photographing someone else’s work I’m not entirely sure how to fulfil this brief. This is often an issue with one word theme’s, the theme
