I didn’t go for a walk this morning. I was late getting to bed last night so I ended up oversleeping. Here’s the thing, It’s a mental block for me, if I can’t get out off the house by 0610, then it’s not worth doing the walk. Perhaps sometimes I use it as an excuse.Continue reading “67/365 Bird Feeding Times”

I have a bit of a problem with pictures over the weekend which is strange because you’d think that would be the easiest time to take pictures. We have barely been out this weekend, and so I don’t think I’ve been in the position to take a picture that I would say is reasonable. I’mContinue reading “66/365e Duplicates”

A picture taken Friday night as we were sat at the waterfront eating fish and chips. I had been waiting for the sun to come through the bottom of the upper clouds. I had thought that would be a bit more spectacular than this, but it isn’t too bad. This is one of those eveningsContinue reading “65/365 Averstoke Sunset”

This picture has a lot of the elements that make a Friday evening interesting and enjoyable; A ship – OK, not a big one, and not easy to see, but between the man and the left hand edge of the picture on the waterline is a either a small cargo vessel or a dredger. NotContinue reading “64/365 Alverstoke Sunset”

The moon in the picture looks a bit like a blob. The moon was showing a very slim crescent. Whilst the image quality is not excellent. It was quite clear that the rest of the Moon’s body was being illuminated by earthshine. I can’t remember thee last time I saw such a clear showing. It’sContinue reading “63/365 Earthshine”

You’ll be getting the drift by now that my morning walks pretty much always end up in the same location. I’m entirely happy with that. Every visit to the waterfront is different in several ways.e The most obvious is the sky, through the seasons, the sky changes in a multitude of ways. I confess thatContinue reading “62/365 It’s getting cooler”

There’s a point in my walk, where I can leave the normal pavement and go only 3 or 4 yards to one side, where the spot is sheltered from street lights. There is still ambient light obviously, but as this picture shows, Orion & Sirius are quite clear. This is a 20 second exposure withContinue reading “61/365 Astrophotography with a phone”

I’m a little bit conflicted. If you follow me on Face Book, since before the lock down, we have been on initially a virtual and then a fantasy holiday. We should have been going just as the lockdown was beginning to become a reality, I like writing and decided that I would write about ourContinue reading “60/365 Fantasy Holidays”

In episode 18, I talked about my book choices, they were; Hubble Vision The Story of Art Britains Pilgrim places At the time, I was finishing off The Photographers eye, and couldn’t make up my mind which book to read, so decided that I would have all three on the go. As it happens, IContinue reading “59/365 Book Choice”

I started doing this aspect of the blog (x/365) coming up to two months ago. To be honest, I’m a bit shocked that; I’m still doing it and how quickly the days go. Most of my waterfront pictures are at present being taken in low light. This is a picture I took today, at aroundContinue reading “58/365 A day time picture”
