Day #336

admin — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:10:13 +0000

Title: Catch A Note
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: I got home from Sheffield in the afternoon, but didn’t find anything inspiring to photograph on my journey. Then I got busy doing various jobs at home. It wasn’t until around 10pm when I remembered I’d not taken a picture. Mild panic! I found this paperweight and did a quick shot. Sorry it’s not very creative, but I really was too tired to do anything more original.

Day #320

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.

Day #315

Title: Curvy Cat
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 17-85mm EF f/4-5.6 IS USM
Notes: Totally miserable weather outside all day. But this week’s 366 theme is Animals, so I thought I would take a still life of this glass cat sculpture.

Day #219

Title: Squeaky Clean
Location: At home
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Busy day, dreary weather outside. So a quick shot from inside the house.

Day #206

Title: Breaking Waves
Location: Spitalfields Market
Camera: Canon Ixus 850IS compact
Notes: Up in town for a meeting today, and so I only had my compact camera with me. As I strolled through Spitalfields Market on my way to the Moo party this evening, I looked up and spotted these roof supports along the covered walkway. Each one was subtly different, showing patterns of breaking waves. A nice touch.

Day #205

Title: Fragments
Location: Sandon
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Took a little trip out to Sandon this afternoon for a few pictures. It was a hot, sizzling day but inside the church I found it cool and calm. This bit of stainted glass window caught my eye.

Day #183

Title: Half Full Or Half Empty?
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: This week’s 366 theme is “a phrase or saying” – so here we have, The Glass Is Half Full/Half Empty. At the moment, I would have to say it’s half empty. I’ve been having a bad week generally, and just when you think it can’t get any worse… This evening, shortly after I’d taken this, I managed to trip over in the garden. So now I have two sore knees, a slightly fat lip, scratched glasses and a bruised ego. Wonderful. On a slightly more positive note, at least we’ve made it to Half Way today – day 183/366. Congrats to all who have come this far too.

Day #116

Title: Sliced & Diced
Location: Minories, Tower Hill
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Finally made it up to London this afternoon, thankfully no travel woes on the way this time. I was visiting a photographic shop and gallery in Hammersmith which a friend is thinking of buying. We had a great walk back from Hammersmith to Putney Bridge via the South Bank Thames Path. I took a few pictures on the way, but the weather wasn’t up to much. By the time I got back to Tower Hill to change from the District Line, the Circle was completely screwed up, so I decided to walk back to Liverpool Street. This was a shot of the building on the corner of Minories and Goodman’s Yard which has a huge, curved profile and copper-tinted windows. The reflection of the building opposite was sliced and diced by the flat panes of glass.

Day #95

Title: Pink Fizz
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8 + 12mm extension tube
Notes: Continuing the single-colour theme, today’s colour was pink. This is a glass of fizzy Russchian Tonic which has a pale pink hue.

Day #70

Title: Rainy Days
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: What happened to Spring? Today we woke to high winds and lashing rain. Not much incentive to go out!
