Still Blurry but Closer
I was over on 35hunter reading one of Dan's series on close-up equipment (yes, I know, my last post was about not being overly concerned with equipment but generally I read most of what Dan posts, even when it's equipment focused - and this is one of the types of photography where a variety of… Continue reading Still Blurry but Closer
Thursday Doors: Many Storms
This week has largely been grey, windy, wet, and frankly making me feel like getting started on the hibernation that bears are known for. Officially the UK was in the grips of Storm Ali over the last couple of days with gusts of wind exceeding 80mph in the north of the country. Not hurricane or… Continue reading Thursday Doors: Many Storms
Barn Doors (for people)
The sort of doors that I'm likely to come across are those in a more rural and less populated setting. Basically, I'm not often found in areas where a lot more humans like to gather, build towns or cities and live fairly close to each other and therefore the exposure to fancy doors protecting the… Continue reading Barn Doors (for people)
Thursday Doors
There is a thing I keep seeing on Twitter where people post pictures of doors. It's a running series by Norman Frampton on his blog at Norm 2.0 "Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world." This may have started… Continue reading Thursday Doors
Granite Gatepost, Warbstow
Devon and Cornwall quite famously sit on a massive amount of granite, with the tors of the nearby moorlands made out of outcrops of the hard rock. You will often also come across standing stones on the moors, the plentiful and hard wearing material perhaps fashioned and arranged by ancient hands for ceremonial religious uses,… Continue reading Granite Gatepost, Warbstow

Beach Abstract Rocks
It seems that the abstract rock pictures I last posted were enjoyed so I have more where the scale is not apparent but some combination of line, texture and shape make an appealing composition to me.
Wilsey Woods misty firebreak
I don't always take my camera with me on the daily dog walk. I carried it with me on this morning, even though it was misty, as I had the feeling that some opportunities would present themselves if the mist started clearing. This is the sun breaking through through the mists in one of the… Continue reading Wilsey Woods misty firebreak
Beach Abstracts
Most of my photographs are recognisably of somewhere, a place that exists. Most of them have some idea of scale and I do try to make sure that there is something in the shot that gives the viewers something to latch on to and so make it natural to work out. However I do also… Continue reading Beach Abstracts
Wilsey Woods
The Forestry Commission woods at Wilsey is only a couple of miles away and provides a dog walk location when - if the weather is being typically 'energetic' - we don't fancy taking a battering from the wind and rain at the coast. We're fairly high above sea level here so consequently can be shrouded… Continue reading Wilsey Woods
Tree on the Wall, Warbstow Bury
A long time ago a Hawthorn germinated and started to grow on top of a Cornish 'fence', a wall to most of the rest of the world. Long after the fence stopped having to do what it was put there for, the Hawthorn remains, although some of it is creating precarious angles. One day it's… Continue reading Tree on the Wall, Warbstow Bury
