A couple of days ago I wrote about how my interest in photography grew. It wasn’t just still images. I bought a super 8 movie camera in the mid 70’s. I shot many rolls of rubbish, and some (what we now consider to be) classic family film. I’ve had them converted to digital images. ItContinue reading “156/366 Vlogging (kind of)”

It’s not that I have writers block tonight, it that I am not sure where to start. There’s a thing that I am doing that is writing related, but which at the moment I don’t want to write about – perhaps in a couple of weeks, by which time, you might even pick up whatContinue reading “155/366 This week”

I always try to look at the weather forecast on TV the night before. The local forecast always strives to give a good picture over what will be happening the next day. I must admit that I don’t take it as gospel, it all depends on what it’s like when I get up. I lookContinue reading “154/366 Walking Weather”

It was a misty morning, but the mist wasn’t at sea level. It was though, sufficiently low as to obscure most of the Spinnaker. The picture above was taken with an iPhone, with a 12 megapixel camera. Not the biggest sensor by any means, but more than big enough to produce a picture with aContinue reading “153/366 Changes”

Most days of the week I take a walk to the waterfront. I must have done this a couple of hundred times a year since we moved here. Why do I keep going back there? Well, for a start, it’s lovely. I enjoy seeing the water, the ships, the weather – well, the sky behindContinue reading “152/366 The Waterfront”

Clippers, The ships that shaped the World by Daniel J Nolan Given to me as a gift. I must admit, it’s not a book that I would normally buy. I understand the link though, living in Gosport, I have seen several tall ships come in to Portsmouth Harbour, and they are a magnificent sight, butContinue reading “151/366 Book of the Week, Clippers”

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”
