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
Technical Stuff
Do visitors to my blog need to know what goes on to produce the image that I put on here? Generally, I've avoided it. There's deliberately not any file info on my images here apart from its actual file name normally (and I'm not even very good at organising that). To me it's just not … Continue reading Technical Stuff
Not the View
I've been down at the beach taking a few of my little abstracts of the stream running across the pebbles. It's busier down there now with the half-term holidays starting and other people are doing the holiday making things with the kids, taking their shots of the ocean and the dramatic views. I, however, am … Continue reading Not the View
Renewal
A year has passed since I decided to make this blog 'my own', by paying for a domain name and to go without adverts.I know this because I have just had notice that my payment for the next year of it has just arrived (notice that it has been paid, not that it was due … Continue reading Renewal
Surprise
I logged in to my Twitter account this morning to find a lovely tweet from Lucy, super-talented creator behind the Silence Killed the Dinosaurs blog. This was a surprise because I normally get an email from Redbubble when I make a print sale and I hadn't seen this one. Then I remembered that Lucy also … Continue reading Surprise
A Day in the Life of a…
Unusually for here, no picture by me on this post. What? Oh, go on then, just a little one. Click it for a screenfull. What I actually came here to post today is this link to a blog by Elizabeth Dale at Cornish Bird Blog. Elizabeth's blog is a great read all of the … Continue reading A Day in the Life of a…
Reeds
The ICM technique (longer than technically correct shutter speeds, handheld and in daylight) normally has me moving the camera during the exposure but in this one the reeds were waving around in the breeze. So on a few shots I managed to get my camera movement 'in synch' with the reeds waving around, creating a … Continue reading Reeds
The Autumn Mists
What can you do when you wake up to a cover of low cloud cloaking everything in silence and muted softness but nip out to the garden in your dressing gown, camera in hand, to capture some of the delicacy and subtle autumnal tones. I have now uploaded three (slightly) different pictures in a … Continue reading The Autumn Mists
A Fine Autumn Day
I've typed too many words accompanying my posts recently. Here's a picture.
Transition
After my last picture using relative simplicity I have gone to the other extreme. Autumn is now arriving and the countryside around us is of course preparing for the shorter days and colder times. I think I've managed to get many of the colours of the landscape around us now into this picture of some … Continue reading Transition
Calm during the Storms
The weather (and the political world) have been providing some dramatic entertainment this week. As I mentioned in my post on Thursday, our walks outdoors this week have been more about dodging the strong winds and ferocious showers than any photography. So I thought I'd post up a picture for the weekend which was taken a … Continue reading Calm during the Storms
Sharp & Incoming at Crackington
Is anyone tired of abstract sea and waves pictures yet? A slight difference in this one. With my sweeping panning movement I seem to have more or less matched the speed of the nearest waves, thereby keeping them relatively sharp compared with the rest of the scene. This has given me an effect that I … Continue reading Sharp & Incoming at Crackington
