Thistle

Rain, rain and yet more rain.....I haven't seen a summer like it for a long time.

Anyway, I have been watching the progress of a thistle growing in my "in-laws" garden for a few weeks now. So on Sunday I finally "nicked" one of the heads and had a pleasant hour giving it the macro treatment.

Here's my favourite shot..



Til next time,

Leek Stairs

I went out this Sunday to take some shots for an AV show I am thinking of putting together.

Anyway I took this shot of a fire escape on a derelict Mill in Leek where I live.

Hope you like it.

Shell Macro

So far the summer has been lousy, so once again I was relegated to the Kitchen with a Macro Lens.

I decided to take some shots of some shells that the wife has in a bowl in the bathroom.

Here's my favourite.

Pin-Hole

I got this pin-hole technique from Practical Photography magazine and did what they said in Photoshop.

Compare it to the shot below and see which you prefer. They are the same photo.

Ilam Hall

Got chance to go on a walk with the family around Ilam in the Peak District. Lugged all my kit around the walk and only used the camera with my 28mm to 105mm lens!!

Anyway I got a couple of shots I liked.

Lake District

I went to the lake district in the UK for a wedding last weekend. The weather was not kind (never is! that's why there's a lot of lakes there!!) and photography was not the main aim.

Anyway got this shot of the Bridge House in Ambleside. It is the smallest house in the UK and now owned by the National Trust.

Til next time,

Switched To Blogger

Hi,

I have switched to blogger as my previous blog on blogsource has been switched over to livedigital and I don't like some of the functionality / layout.

So here I am!!

I will be catching up some of my previous posts / images over the next few weeks so I don't have to build up from scratch totally.

See you around,

Rob.

Lillies

I had to shoot indoors the other day due to time constraints (busy at work etc).

Here are some Lillies I took before they opened.

Hope you like them.
