I was about to do this evenings post, and having written the title I suddenly thought that perhaps I should have a B&W picture lined up. This is one I took earlier today. It was a cold and misty day, as you can see with a fair bit of the Spinnaker missing. As I arrivedContinue reading “150/366 Black & White Photography”

I went out for a walk today, not far only 4 miles. I went down to the GAFIRS station at Stokes Bay (Gosport And Fareham Inshore Rescue Service). The walk down was pleasant enough, along the cycle track. I always enjoy going this way, there are a couple of nice views along the route. SomethingContinue reading “149/366 A Nice Dilemma”

My apologies for last nights whinge about writes block, and writing pressure. None of that tonight. I have two or three articles lined up. I am not quite ready to do an article from the B&W magazine, although I do have an idea for one piece. That’s what’s driven this evenings picture. It’s either abstractContinue reading “148/366 Blog Items”

For a change, here’s a picture of the bird table. Not at it’s busiest today. Visits by the birds are definitely on the up. The Sparrows appear to bee getting a bit more confident about using the feeders. We’ve put a couple more up. So, we’ll see how they go. We had a bird inContinue reading “147/366 The Bird Table”

The only link between the picture and the topic is that a lot of birds and squirrels gather here. Once again, I find myself. Impressed by the iPhone 12. We watched the bird table this morning, on it and around it, there must have been at least a dozen pigeons, not only that the tableContinue reading “146/366 Feed The Birds”

Enjoyed the walk again this morning. I arrived home a few minutes later than I usually do, but I’ve worked it out. Next time I go for a walk during the day, I must take some food for the squirrels at the back of Trinity Church. Usually, in each of the magazines I subscribe toContinue reading “145/366 Walking”

The picture is one of the first ones I have taken with the iPhone 12 in night mode. There are two things about the picture that I want to comment on; Firstly, I am amazed at the number of stars the phone has caught. I am very eager to try a bit of astrophotography. TheContinue reading “144/366 Morning Walks Resume & Clipper Ships”

The fort in the picture is one of four built between 1850 & 1880 to defend against a threat of invasion from France. The ‘blob’ centre right is a ship at anchor, probably waiting to come in to port, probably to be unloaded. The two columns extreme right are navigation aids . It wasn’t particularlyContinue reading “143/366 Out for a walk & Clipper Ships”

I’ve finished the book now. It didn’t take that long, considering how slowly I read a book. The consisted of example of renowned street photographers from around the world. I think that it is reasonable to say that there were as many different reasons for the subjects of the book as there were subjects. ItContinue reading “142/366 Street Photography Now”

The picture is of Foster Gardens. Just one of those rather nice green spots that abounds in Gosport. And this is one of those days, I haven’t been for a walk, I confess I didn’t bother to make the effort to get out. I guess I could have done. I just didn’t bother. Total StepsContinue reading “141/366 An unexciting Friday”
