Weekly Photo Challenge: (Extra)ordinary
Posted on October 17, 2015
What could be more ordinary – banal, even – than a bubble? Yet, rather like snowflakes, every bubble is unique and therefore extraordinary.
Sweeping
Posted on September 25, 2015
The BurJuman Centre is one of the oldest shopping malls in Dubai, and features a couple of grand sweeping staircases, with elements of Art Deco. This is a view taken from the ground floor, looking up to the balcony and ceiling above. The image is almost abstract and works quite well in black & white, I think.
Abstract shadows
Posted on September 4, 2015
Palm trees cast long shadows across a path in Hili Oasis, near Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, producing the illusion of depth in an abstract image that makes me think of something a space probe might send back from the surface of a distant planet. (Although that’s probably just me.)

Fractal Romanesco
Posted on April 24, 2015
Quite some time ago, before I even set up this separate photography site, I produced a post containing some close-up images of a romanesco.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blur
Posted on April 4, 2015
This image was taken as part of an assignment on a ‘Beginners’ photography course I took in Abu Dhabi. The technique involves mounting a camera with a zoom lens on a tripod, setting a long exposure and then rotating the zoom while taking the picture. Obviously it works best at night, as here, and it does provide some vey arresting, Matrix-like images.

Can you see what it is yet? This is a ‘doctored’ detail – complete with shadows – of the roof of a villa at the Sir Bani Yas Hotel in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
To put it into context, here’s another image:

Last summer my grandson was blowing bubbles in our garden…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture
Posted on August 9, 2014
Macro is a good way to discover texture. This is the stamen of a lily. Try not to get the pollen on your clothes: it’ll never come off.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Between

A piece of flotsam lies between two clumps of seaweed on Manly Beach, Australia.

Another staircase, this time from a hotel in Paris (which, fortunately, was also equipped with a lift).
