Posted on 1st December 2020 by Admin under Comment, Location, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Street photography

Those were the days, my friendWe thought they’d never endWe’d sing and dance forever and a dayWe’d live the life we chooseWe’d fight and never lose Sung by Mary Hopkin, 1968 Prologue Way back when in the days of, oh, around a year ago, no one outside of Wuhan in China had heard of Covid-19.  […]

Shot of the Week 2019/16 – Micheldever Wood

Posted on 10th June 2019 by Admin under Comment, Landscape, Location, Photograph, Shot of the Week

This avenue of trees is from Micheldever Wood in Hampshire, a spot about which I have heard much.  Unusually, it is the first photo I took at the location.  Typically, the initial press of the shutter results in something which is OK but, in reality, is the start of exploring the scene.  More creative ideas […]

Shot of the Week 2019/15 – Stride

Posted on 3rd June 2019 by Admin under APOY, Comment, competition, Location, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Street photography

When I decided to write blog articles to accompany my weekly photo, I did not fully comprehend what a commitment it would be.  While the project is proceeding well, the opposite is definitely not true when it comes to publishing the images.  And a lot can happen during the extended intervening period when I do […]

Shot of the Week 2019/14 – Desiccated Tulip

Posted on 8th May 2019 by Admin under Comment, Photograph, Shot of the Week

At the start of this photo-a-week project, I set myself an objective.  No flowers.  Unless absolutely unavoidable. So, for the third time, I am presenting an image of what else, ….. a flower.  It is another in my series of desiccated tulips, a subject which I have been doing quite a lot of late.  Far […]

Shot of the Week 2019/12 – Family Group

Posted on 9th April 2019 by Admin under Comment, Location, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Street photography

In my last post, I commented on one of the issues which arises when deciding which photograph to publish for the week.  In that instance, I had three candidates and for the sake of variety opted for the one which it would not be possible to repeat.  This time, the problem is different in that […]

Shot of the Week 2019/11 – Red Queen

Posted on 27th March 2019 by Admin under Comment, Equipment, Event, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Technique

Options When going through the week’s images looking for “the one”, I had a number of options.  I could have shown the latest in the series of flower images I have been making in the past few weeks.  They are good, to my eye at least, but would repeat what I have done previously during […]

Shot of the Week 2019/10 – Pairings

Posted on 26th March 2019 by Admin under Comment, Location, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Street photography

This shot, Pairings, was taken at the conclusion of a street photography walk.  It was a circular tour, going from King’s Cross in London to Camden Market and back.  This is a well known location which I have never previously managed to find.  It is a subway which I had heard described as being a […]

Shot of the Week 2019/09 – Millennium Bridge

Posted on 10th March 2019 by Admin under Comment, Equipment, infrared, Location, Shot of the Week, Street photography

If one word sums up my photography for this week, it is “barriers”.  With a lot going on, there was just one opportunity for a photographic outing.  Naturally, I went where there might be some good prospects.  First stop was the BBC’s new headquarters at the end of London’s Regent Street.  Frustratingly, part of the […]

Shot of the Week 2019/08 – Salute

Posted on 5th March 2019 by Admin under Comment, Equipment, infrared, Photograph, Shot of the Week, Technique

There are many positives to undertaking a challenge which requires the regular production of images.  Not least is the incentive to use the camera.  Life has plenty of other distractions and it is all too easy not to take a photograph for a while. Another benefit such a project is the opportunity to try different […]

Shot of the Week 2019/06 – Faded Tulip

Posted on 15th February 2019 by Admin under Comment, infrared, Photograph, Shot of the Week

During what was a quiet period photography wise, I was looking for a subject in the house for the week’s photo. I had a few ideas before finding this tulip which had, admittedly, seen better days. As well as its faded glory, the stem had become twisted with age into an interesting shape. While I […]
