A quick play in HDR to produce a pencil like drawing off a monochrome image.

Since a 365 is about pushing and trying new things, like software as well has the type of images you take. I like to draw a little when I can, so I wanted a simple photo set up to experiment on. I got close to what I was trying to produce, which just means I will have to try and improve.

Thank you for viewing

Feather and Leather

A close up of a seagull feather I found while traveling pushed in the band on my hat. The old feather is a little beaten up but its been there for a few years.

Mothers calling

The first lambs of the year, was sitting waiting for a tractor turning looking at the sheep in the field next to me. I always carry my camera on the seat beside me. Down with the window and got this shot of mum calling her little ones. Give them another couple of weeks and they will be playing together in the fields. great fun to watch.

How it was

Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and hold those old photograph’s, some faded like the memories of long ago.

Self Portrait: Irish Cyclops

Today’s photo is a bit of fun playing around with camera angles and a speedlight. One of the rules was no tripod and a bare flash. I enjoy doing this sort of thing, never knowing where it ends.

Orderly chaos

Sometimes when doing a 365 it’s can be hard to get good images every day. Sometimes its just a case of looking in outhouses/sheds or whats around you in the house. So this evening while visiting my mother who still has a love to potter around taking flower cuttings and growing plants. I made my way into the little potting shed out back. With no lights in there and armed with a torch I went looking. The place is full of little things from the pass, jars full of little shells we collected has children. Pebbles and sea washed glass, some old toys from our childhood. Its an Aladdin’s cave of days on the beach and garden adventures. Old clay pots painted with time and chipped pieces long return to the earth that they had grown from. I cannot share the memories or adventures from those days. Just a still image from the film off them.
