I’m also with Lisa & Chase. First instincts are the first one with higher saturation of colour and contrast, but actually on reflection I prefer the second. For me it comes down to how the light makes me feel. The first I feel like its that moment when the sun is just tipping below the […]

No way!! It’s a Lotus Exige, possibly one of the best drivers cars EVER!!! And British made! Just not particularly practical or comfy on a day to day basis. Done it for 6 years, time for a change, and more cylinders and more power!!!! 😉

OOh, Cars, Yes love them!!! After overcoming the aftermath of getting married a month ago, I dusted off the old girl and took some piccies of my beloved car – we’re selling it so it inspired me to have a go at night photography/light painting – something I haven’t tried before. I had a feeling […]

Oh man, I picked a bad time to come out of hiding and make my comeback speech! Not to worry! IT gremlins are the worst kind, I deal with them regularly.
Hope it’s all tickety-boo now 🙂

A friend loaned me their macro lens which was great to have a play with – I’ve always wanted a macro so it was good to try one before spending money. This is from my set of turned ‘widgets’ – random machined metal parts that my dearest fiance makes at work and brings home! This […]

These artefacts are a result of turning metal on a lathe. My other half is an engineer and comes home with these random objects that he’s made – consequently I have a large bowl of them making an interesting alternative to pot puri!! I think they are beautiful in a precision kind of way! […]

A beautiful shot, well done Susan. Call me dim, but the last couple of photos of the week were ones that weren’t posted on the actual POTW thread, that I could see anyway. Do you assess all photos added throughout the week that fall under the POTW topic, even if posted elsewhere? I’m intrigued, and […]

Evening all.

Just one is enough:

Lol! A great story… I wonder if it will have a happy ending!!

What annoys me the most about photography is myself!!! You should all be proud of yourselves for making such lovely pictures. It’s not as easy as it looks, and I am trying and trying, there is so much to learn! I am having fun though, don’t get me wrong! I think I get annoyed with […]
