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”

142/366 Street Photography Now
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”
141/366 An unexciting Friday
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”

140/366 Sparrows
Yes, Yes I know. Definitely not Sparrows in the picture. But, I have a plan. A long time, well about 2 -3 months ago, I put a bird feeder on the edge of the patio. the intention was to attract the sparrows.

139/366 Out for a walk
Out for a walk today, nowhere particularly interesting. I had in my mind to take pictures of that which is “Typically Gosport”. Because I am staying away from the high street, I’m not saying my choice of subjects is limited, it’s just that nothing in particular jumped out at me. Until I reached the GeorgeContinue reading “139/366 Out for a walk”
138/366 Street Photography Now
I took this picture in 2010 in London. It was a from-the-hip grab shot as I was walking along Oxford Street. I just pressed the button as I walked past her. Undoubtedly an attractive girl, looking worried on phone against a poster of attractive people. I do hope she was OK. It is, in myContinue reading “138/366 Street Photography Now”
137/366 Out for a walk
Yesterday, I wrote about being out of my comfort zone. I want to continue that for a bit (no more video at the moment, that was a practice). The forecasters were pretty much right, it had been raining all morning and was due to stop between 11-12, which it did. I wanted a change toContinue reading “137/366 Out for a walk”
136/366 The Comfort Zone
Isn’t it strange how things change? In the early 1990’s when I was living in Berlin, I spent a fair bit of money (DM300 comes to mind, probably about £100 as was then) purchasing a small micro-tape recorder. The idea was to record my thoughts and impressions of my time in the city. I stillContinue reading “136/366 The Comfort Zone”
135/366 Is it Monday?
I went to put some rubbish in the bin, and then put the bin out ready for the bin men, except it’s Saturday, and the bins aren’t emptied until Monday. I’ve had that “Is it Monday today” feeling all day, which in a way is a good thing, because when I accept that it isn’tContinue reading “135/366 Is it Monday?”
