2008 – My Year In Pictures

Title: A Reviving Cuppa
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Another day of drab weather and too much work to do. Still, a nice, reviving cuppa works wonders.

Title: Coins Of The Realm
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I was really busy today, spending most of the time working. And the weather was pretty drab, so I didn’t even feel like popping out for a few minutes at lunchtime. However, I’ve been trying to think around this week’s 366 theme, Circles. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without chocolate money, now would it?

Title: Chilly Outside, Chili Inside
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: A bit strapped for time and decent daylight today, as I’ve been trying to get loads of things finished  before heading off for a long weekend away at BarCampSheffieldII. You’ve actually seen this before, but this time, I went for a macro shot.

Title: Fractal Food!
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: I’ve been fascinated by Broccoli Romanesco ever since I saw Erasmus T’s picture of it on Flickr ages ago, but haven’t been able to find any in the shops unti yesterday. So this morning, I decided to have a go at some still life, lit by natural sunlight from the window. Seems too good to eat, doesn’t it?

Title: Cabernet Shiraz Refractions
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: I didn’t manage to get out early today while the sun was out, so had to settle with an indoor shot for today’s picture.

Title: The Grapes Of Cough
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Still not feeling too great, the sneezing and coughing are coming and going. So I spent the day watching Team GB winning medals on the telly, and eating grapes – aren’t they supposed to make you feel better?

Title: Fruits Of The Forest
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: More drastic measures required today, to try and keep cool. Fruits of the Forest ice cream, yum.
