1912 – Embarrasing or not?

I thought I had a Facebookpost lined up, but it has not happened. Not quite sure why. I’d lined it up to be about my attempts at street photography using this door as a background. The picture above is not the result I was looking for. What I wanted was sommebody in a blue coatContinue reading “1912 – Embarrasing or not?”

1909 – On the Street, at the Camera Club

Let’s get the Camera Club out of the way first; Tonights competition was an open for our group (no set topic) The header picture was one I took at the market in Salisbury when we went as the club last month. Whilst I didn’t get an award, I did get a 9/10 which I amContinue reading “1909 – On the Street, at the Camera Club”

1906 – What to do?

It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”

1902 – Camera Club

Tonights camera club meeting was a members’ night. That means we did our own thing. As it happens, three members of the club had done setups where other people could practice a particular photographic exercise. Colin’s piece was a kind of still life. I say kind of, because it did involve the smoke of aContinue reading “1902 – Camera Club”

1899 – A Routine

I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”

1897 – Photography

I have been giving my photography and approach to the subject some serious thought of late. There is (in my eyes) a slight technical problem – I know a poor worker will blame his tools, and I’m not blaming the tool, I’m blaming my ability to use them correctly. The issue I have with myContinue reading “1897 – Photography”

1840 – It’s that day

I’ll tell you about the photograph towards the bottom of this post. Today, was one of those signpost days that most people experience – I retired. I went to work this morning, but it really wasn’t a normal day. I had a chat with my boss, and wished him goodbye. I had already had similarContinue reading “1840 – It’s that day”

1830 – A trip to the Island

I promised myself that if a bus turned up within two minutes of my arrival at the bus stop at the bottom of our road, I would save myself a bit of time and get on. Something was working in my favour because I looked around just as I got there and stuck my handContinue reading “1830 – A trip to the Island”

1803 – A walk in to town

We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit. We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top.Continue reading “1803 – A walk in to town”

1682 – A quick trip in to town

I took a weekend stroll in to town today. There was one of the special markets on, which was nice to see. My walk was at around 0900, so stalls were still being set up, so I hope they had a busy day – there was certainly the weather for it. I was pleased toContinue reading “1682 – A quick trip in to town”
