It was raining for this mornings walk. I got water on the lens. This was the effect. You’ll be saying the pictures has no relation to the title of this post – that’s correct, I needed something to cheer me up. Why’s that? I always look forward to the arrival of my magazines. This weekContinue reading “112/366 A ring or Bright Water”

OK, bear with me, I know the picture is unrelated to the title. Firstly, the bird table. I came downstairs mid morning to make a cup of tea (I’m WFH). I had loaded the bird table early in the morning, and it appears that the starlings fly around different feeding points. There were easily aContinue reading “111/366 A busy Bird Table”

From Monday morning, I see this scene every morning that I go for a walk. The boats are always there, I can’t recall them ever moving. This one morning, last Monday (30 Nov) was the first Misty morning for quite a while. I’ve been looking forward to seeing one, so I was determined to getContinue reading “110/366 Boats in the Mist”

Or, should it be a ghostly image? This morning’s mist has provided a bunch of pictures that i quite like and which I can spin out over the next few days. Take this one for example, a simple street scene but notice the ghostly apparition walking along the double yellow line? How did I getContinue reading “109/366 A misty morning”

Firstly, let me say, I have only just noticed my error, and I’ve been doing this for almost a third of a year (indeed, only 14 days short of 122 days), because it’s a leap year. It’s not out of 365, but 366. I will have to remember to keep that going. I was goingContinue reading “108/366 The Bird table”

I went out for a walk this afternoon, not far only a couple of miles, but I had a reason for going out. I’ve bought a GoPro Hero9 video camera. One of the main reasons I bought this particular model were the. Claims about stabilisation (bear with me). I knew GoPro’s had a good reputationContinue reading “107/365 Out & About”

The monthly magazine, Black & White Photography turned up on Tuesday. As usual, I put aside The Story of Art to read it, and I’ll do the same when my other favourite magazine, Country Walking arrives sometime in the next few days. Usually when I read the magazine at least one of the articles sparksContinue reading “106/365 The Snapshot and Art”

Are you an Android or an iPhone user? I’ve been addicted to apple since I bought my first Mac Mini in 2005. I know some people complain about being locked in, but that really doesn’t bother me. Then Apple released the iphone, and I knew I wanted one, so we have been devotees since theContinue reading “105/365 The iPhone Camera”

The triangle of lights going off to the right hand side is the ramp that leads to the Gosport Ferry Terminal. Looking at the picture, the ramp is pretty much level. This tells you that the tide is in. It wasn’t quite at it’s height at the time I took picture (0633), high tide wouldContinue reading “104/365 The Gosport Promenade”

I thought I would do a series on the Gosport Plaques. I thought that I would do a piece on each plaque, but I realised with Henry Cort, I would just be regurgitating what I’d read on the Wikipedia page. Not quite plagiarism, but not far from it. I will be able to talk aContinue reading “103/365 The Blue Plaques”
