52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 4 – Warmth
Posted on January 26, 2020
The setting sun gives a warm glow to the sky on what would otherwise be a chilly autumn evening. We were heading home – and that’s where the real warmth is.
I took this photo through the windscreen of our car. I would like to point out that I was not driving: I don’t can’t.

A full moon far outshines the streetlamp in lighting the road that runs through our little hamlet.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 2 – Rule of thirds
Posted on December 21, 2019
For the second week of his 52 Week Smartphone Challenge, Khurt is looking for an image that adheres to the classic compositional law, the so-called ‘rule of thirds’.
This photograph was taken from a holiday cottage in East Yorkshire, just outside the town of Beverley. The image is divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically. While the quality of the image isn’t that great (it was taken with my previous smartphone, an iPhone 6), I think the view is attractive and the composition is pleasing.

52 Week Smartphone Challenge: 1 – Self-portrait
Posted on December 14, 2019
Khurt Williams at islandinthenet.com is starting a new 52 Week Smartphone Photography, and with the best of intentions I’ve decided to give it a go.
The topic for the first week is the intriguing one of taking a self-portrait “that tells us who you are, without actually showing your face.’
This photo was taken with my iPhone 7 (as I expect most future ones will be) and I think pretty much defines me.
Certainly it reveals where I spend a probably disproportionate part of my time: at my (distressingly untidy) desk. All the key elements are here:
- the iPad from which I have to be surgically removed
- my Mac desktop – open at my WordPress photo library, of course
- various Grateful Dead paraphernalia
- a pair of Bluetooth earphones
- and a poster of the greatest football team in the history of all known universes.
