Santa’s gone off-piste
Posted on January 6, 2015
Nobody would begrudge Santa a holiday after his recent busy time, and why shouldn’t he go skiing? But he must have overdone the glühwein a bit to end up flat out on a supermarket shelf in the middle of France earlier today.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Feet

Detail from the base of a lectern in St Mary’s Church, Beverley. Of course the subject is the feet, but the reflection of the church interior provides context.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Warmth
Posted on December 29, 2014
“Warmth” certainly gives plenty of scope for interpretation.
Below is one take on it: an image from a few years ago of a very small and very warm grandson surrounded by very warm colours in a children’s playground in Abu Dhabi (it was October: trust me, it was warm).
For a completely different take on “warmth”, here is my contribution on this topic for last month’s ‘Photography 101’ challenge.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Yellow
Posted on December 20, 2014
To fit this week’s theme, another image from the inexhaustible fount of photographic possibilities that is Dubai Mall. This one is a lantern, or chandelier if you prefer. I placed the camera on the floor and hovered around it protectively while the exposure was made.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Twinkle
Posted on December 13, 2014
Another image from Dubai Mall, this one of an ornamental pool on the way down to the underground car park (it’s Dubai, what do you expect?)
Weekly Photo Challenge: Gone But Not Forgotten
Posted on December 9, 2014
A discarded flower, perhaps given added poignancy by the fact that it had been a buttonhole worn at a wedding I attended last summer.
Photography 101: Triumph
Posted on November 28, 2014
My grandson triumphantly raises his arms as his bowling ball heads down the lane for a strike.
As a point of information, this is the boy who was taking a peek at his brother here.
Oh, and the plaster cast came about after he jumped out of a tree. As any self-respecting six-year old would, obviously.
Photography 101: Double
Posted on November 27, 2014
These popped up together earlier this year in a window box that had been sewn with an unspecified seed mixture.
Respecting the brief for today’s challenge, the image has been rotated 90° anti-clockwise into a landscape view, which certainly looks more compelling than the ‘as shot’ portrait mode (look at it sideways and you’ll see what I mean).
Photography 101: Edge
Posted on November 26, 2014
The weir on the Vienne river at Confolens provides a clear edge itself, as well as linking the two banks (also edges).
Photography 101: Glass
Posted on November 25, 2014
No visit to Venice would be complete without a trip to to the island of Murano to see the glassblowers at work. This is how it all begins.
