087-365v5 – Abstract Forest

I’ve tried the Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) quite a few times with mixed results. I am, however, quite happy with todays effort using a long (142mm in this case) focal length which means you don’t have to move the camera as quickly as you do with a wider focal length.

063-365v5 – The Handshake

I was trying to come up with a minimalistic abstract in the house this afternoon. This is the staircase banister in our home and it reminded me of a robotic handshake. Talking of handshakes…one of my favourite Bad Religion tracks is “The Handshake” (yeah, tenuous, I know). You can have

039-365v5 – Abstract Squeak

I always enjoy a bit of abstraction and it is always a useful fall back for the 365 project when time is short and you need a shot. You can see a few of my abstract photographs by clicking here. This is an item found on many desks around the

032-365v5 An Abstract Landscape

This is a fairly abstract shot of the distant hills with the sky above, it was a lovely morning for a walk if a little chilly Despite being in and amongst a lot of commercial forestry there are still areas that are basically either grassland or scrubland, it’s hard to

013-365v5 – Abstract Kitchen

I do enjoy a bit of abstraction. As the snow has (pretty much) gone now and it is pouring with rain outside I turned my attention to what I could photograph in the house. It’s a new (to us) house so I haven’t yet photographed it to any great extent.

325-365v4 – Abstract Pebble

We had a large bag of pebbles left over from some garden display we had some years ago which I came across today. They make rather nice abstract textures and have some lovely colours and patterns throughout which made a nice macro study.

318-365v4 Self Love

For the most part people are not curious except about themselves.” ― John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent Continuing playing with the scanner and (hopefully) moving beyond the photocopying your arse on the office photocopier stage! I quite enjoyed exploring the “art” of the selfie on the scanner. I don’t do

311-365v4 Socket Serpent

I bought a cheap socket set for a very specific purpose, received it and realised it was completely the wrong tool for the job! It’s been sat next to me for months and I finally decided to photograph it yesterday and thought I’d try creating a creepy animal thing out

301-365v4 AC/DC Black and White Unite XXVII

On a bit of a run of these type of images at the moment, again, there’s an idea here, but I’m not sure I’ve executed it as well as I could. I do like these split black and white set ups though.
