Title: Incognito
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 50mm EF f/1.8
Notes: I had a shock again recently when I discovered the 52 Themes 2009 subject for this week. Well, you know my attitute towards self-portraits!

Title: Foxton
Location: Parndon, Essex
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: We must be mad, but Alistair proposed a geocaching trip this afternoon, along with his Mum and her dog Foxton. So we met up for a nice pub lunch and watched the heavens rain for Britain. Then it let off for a while, and we had no excuse. During our walk, Foxton was happy to pose for a picture – quite unusual, apparently, as he normally won’t sit still for love nor money. After a 3.5 mile potter round, we then retired to the pub again for a cuppa and watched even more rain coming down.

Title: It’s A Portrait Shoot – Get Me Out Of Here!
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 30D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: If there’s one area of photography which I don’t enjoy, it’s Portraiture. And if there’s one area of photography at which I’m particularly bad, it’s Self-Portraiture. So when the 52Themes2009 subjects were announced, I looked down the list and inwardly groaned at the thought of Week 24. While it doesn’t explicitly insist on the “self” aspect, I also know that I’m going to be really busy until the deadline (next Thursday) and probably won’t have time to set up a meeting with any willing friends (co-erced by the promise of food or drink) or go roaming anywhere interesting for a candid shot. Ah, well, I guess I better just bite the bullet and go for a shot of muggins then. I know it’s not a very original idea, but you’ve got to cut me some slack!
