30 January

Ok, this was a panic shot. I had forgotten to take it when I actually went across to the shopping centre at lunchtime, and I didn't fancy going out of my way and dodging the traffic to get to it on the way home. So, on the way to the pub later that night, I … Continue reading 30 January →

I tried to think of something really clever and esoteric to take for today's title, but I couldn't get my head to work that way after a day in the office. So, instead I lay down on the floor on the landing at the top of our stairs and took the loft hatch. Well I … Continue reading 28 January →

I also really think the movement of the trees at the top right … Continue reading 24 January →

This was a scene that I captured outside a row of shops. My eye was immediately drawn to the red bin, which stood out amongst the mass of green, its complimentary colour. This to me has the feel of an Eggleston or Shore type image, a visual story or statement on a particular aspect of … Continue reading 23 January →

I wanted to go abstract on this shot and I was trying to find shapes rather than tone or colour in which I could show the title. The simplicity inherent in this shot accentuates the various curved areas within the image, whilst still maintaining some implied movement towards the top of the frame. Olympus E-30 … Continue reading 22 January →
