Ping. The bulb moment. Day 168

Lacking inspiration tonight, so put a call out for ideas from the twitterverse (what would I do without you all). @NeilWhitstable was first back with bulb. It appealed and I was off! The bulb is from a massive outdoor torch, that chargers from a power supply and dies in about 10 minutes. It was used [...]

Dried Fruit

From idea to Fruition on day 167

Been thinking about this image after taking the strawberry shot recently. Knew it was likely to be a Photoshop job and with my new shiny version of CS5, it seemed a good time to try. Rather pleased with how it has turned out. Will expand with more fruits as I get time, but for now [...]

Abstract.

Too much juggling (day 166)

Work, water the garden, nursery run, making tea, bathtime, finding gifts, playing on the swings, socialising. These and other things mean no time for 365. Welcome to Hipstamatic and the iPhone. Again. Oh, it was a pizza delivery box. Empty

Chair; Take 3

Chairs (day 165)

Long and hectic day with the sproglies. After getting them to sleep, the house tidy began. I saw that my daughter had organised the chairs from the game with the same name into a neat row. I now have plans to do a much larger shoot with them, but for now, here is a little [...]

Is this what Steve imagined? day 164

When his company launched the iPad, I am not sure that Steve JObs and his crew had this in mind,but it works a treat. Just don’t try and take it away from them to get access to your recipe. Oh look, cost justification for another one!

Old Tractor

Another trip to Howletts (day 163)

Mixed bag of images after another family trip to see the animals. Whether it was the promise of seeing elephants, quality time or some other mysterious force, the daughter slept last night. Promises have to be kept, and given we had my very close friend down with her little boy, we decided a trip to [...]

Just a quick snap

Day 162. Trying to sort the daughter

Today was all about trying to work out why my daughter has turned into an anti-sleeping monster, no SLR and making everything about her where possible so we had some quality time together. Even got daddy to watch over the little man while he slept, so her and I had some time out together. As [...]

Strawberry

Last Straw-berry for day 161

Bit of an understatement to say it was a rough day with the sproglies today. Lack of sleep over 2 nights for me and the daughter have led to strained relationships. She is pushing every mummy button she knows (mainly the ‘why’ to everything and the ‘just’ when she wants to avoid doing something). Anyway, [...]

When batteries are drained

Bit of a muddled day on day 160

Thought about staking out in the garden to capture some birds today, managed it for about 5 minutes before being distracted. By the time evening came, I’d forgotten the couple of bird shots I managed and went for something different, more reflective of my feeling of being drained; dead batteries! So here is the random [...]

Credit to the chip.

Giving credit to the money on day 159

Final purchase of huge upgrade project for work gear ended today. Seemed only right to capture the card before the dust gathers on it once more.
