[Patrick]

Following Robs Daily Shots , I will do my best to update this thread Daily with some frames , whatever catches my eye.

Day one -Thursday 30th Oct 2025 – In the Yard

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Good to hear and a great start. Look forward to this series very much..

[Patrick]

Thank you mate 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the abstract nature of the shot. The water or dew drops on the leaves really works Patrick 🙂

[Patrick]

Thanks very much Dahlia , i posted 2 shots but looks like one may have been 2 big for upload 🙂 , all good there is plenty more to find haha.

[Patrick]

Stalled project

Money money money

A study in perspective, light bleed, and an intentional dose of heavy chromatic aberration. All figures were created using simple paper cutouts.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the creative thought and execution of this shot Patrick 🙂 You have made them look 3D!

[Patrick]

[Patrick]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

This is great story telling in a photo, mate. A little bit menacing but you’re expecting something to happen so it’s really cool.

[Patrick]

Thank you mate

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love this. A great storytelling shot Patrick 🙂

Pixel phone – Outside the store Monday lunchtime

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

These are very effective – almost like a take on environmental portraits. Cool.

[Patrick]

Thank you Rob 🙂

[Patrick]

Pixel phone – sunday night

[Patrick]

Going Places

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Ha ha, what wonderful timing.

[Patrick]

Yes it seemed just right 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

The caption is great Patrick and love the juxtaposition 🙂

[Patrick]

Thank you Dahlia 🙂

[Patrick]

[Patrick]

Part of my day so i include it 🙂

 

It’s not the first time i heard this saying  … A monkey can make a good picture but i like to reinforce some things in my own mind.

[Patrick]

Playing with video for a while before calling it a day.

[Patrick]

Reflective abstract

[Patrick]

Your serial number is non-negotiable.

Coming sooner than you think 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That first one seems quite aggressive. I am not sure that is what is happening, though…

[Patrick]

Haha , they are just leaning over to open the door .. But the door opens automatically  ,only in an emergency can it be manually be open i’m sure.

Impatient is the thing , modern times we live mate 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Such beautiful photos Patrick. Really love the third shot 🙂

[Patrick]

Thanking you Dahlia 🙂

[Patrick]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I think the dog is thinking that it no longer has dignity. lol

[Patrick]

Lol

[Patrick]

Will call it a day with these , Thanks for looking 🙂

I just have too much other stuff to do tbh.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

It’s hard, isn’t it? I’m gonna keep going with mine just to see where it goes. It’s not up to scratch in terms of what I usually post, but I think it will be a good exercise and improvement.

[Patrick]

keep going mate , i am still shooting as well i would not know what to do with myself if i stop , just needed a break from posting , even IG i am taking a bit of a rest , i will get back to myself soon enough 🙂

[Patrick]

One from Friday , raining day had to find stuff indoors to shoot

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Stanley Kubrik vibes – you have posted a few they give me that on edge feeling that he used to get in film. It’s uniquely yours but it absolutely has echoes for me.

[Patrick]

Thank you for such a kind compliment mate , it means a lot to hear what vibe you get 🙂

 

 

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the perspective Patrick. Looks cinematic 🙂

[Patrick]

Thank you very much Dahlia 🙂

[Patrick]

The image above was loosely inspired by this image from Rodney matthews i first seen nearly 30 years ago , the image freaked me out at the time i felt it a sinister mood  at the time but it has remained a fav all this time like many of his works , the point of this reply is i often get asked how to do i come up with some of the pics share and well this is a perfect example of that but with my own interpretation or as best i can .

A moment of crisis in the clergy. The temptation is real … More Tea Vicar

[Dahlia Ambrose]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Watch out for the paparazzi, mate. 😉

Down the narrow passage

[Patrick]

[Patrick]

A modern Moment

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That is another very strong composition, but manages to stay original. You have a knack for that spice of originality in these shots.

[Patrick]

Thanks a lot mate , i was happy with that one using single shot , a bit left or right it just becomes the normal brolly shot would not work as well i don’t think.

I wished they all work out like that it would reduce the sorting afterwards 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Agree with Rob. This is a very interesting photo and composition Patrick 🙂

[Patrick]

Thank you Dahlia , Rob … A proper wet day yesterday so got a bus into town and had 2 brilliant enjoying hours of photography , i am glad i had my umbrella it was part of my blending in so could feel free to shoot as much as i liked haha

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Wow! That gives me an excuse to hold an umbrella when doing street photography…lol. Great idea Patrick 😀

[Patrick]

Thank you very much Dahlia , do you get much time to shoot street , i know you have a number of genres you enjoy just wondering do you get much time with each.

[Patrick]

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the art and your frame Patrick 🙂

[Patrick]

It did help to brighten the mood , awful wet day today as well .. November has got of to a wet start 🙂

Thank you very much 🙂

[Patrick]

A raw, layered snapshot of street life and creativity in my home city. Belfast stripped back to its essentials.

[Patrick]

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Another good frame Patrick 🙂

[Patrick]

Very kind thank you so much 🙂 , this part of town still has much of its old buildings that are very much still in use 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

That’s the charm of old towns isn’t it Patrick? I love these kind of places 🙂

[Patrick]
